Arai Fits my head best but when shopping for the wife the Shoei RF1000.
I was first concerned with fit, Second with performance, third with price. Also EAR PLUGS. you need em they make a big difference. look for silicone in the 26 to 30 range. You can get them at a hardware store for $5, for swimmers at about $3 and at a motorcycle store for $30.
Foam and disposables are good I have just found the silicone to work best and be most comfortable on long rides.

The reason you don't wan't too good of an ear plug should be obvious. You can't hear traffic and emergency vehicles etc.

Good luck. Hope all works out.
