NEW LID
I've just bought the agv stealth dragon, as the stig lid is getting a little loose and my neck muscles cant take the force of the wind for much longer.

This is my collection at the minute. I agree on the OGK's, great helmet if you can find one!

FM is one I bought for fun years ago.

Suomy Gunwind is one I wear quite alot. Great helmet, fit and quality is excellent and you could add one to try out. They have some great paint schemes too.

Quantum F is great fit, amazing quality, and you really don't feel like you are wearing it half the time. Superceded though in the Arai range these days.

And this is my newest addition. AGV Ti Tech. So far so good, and the prices out there at the moment are really good. You really need to try one on though as the sizing can be a bit funny, and they just don't fit some shapes of head! Fantastic bit of kit mind :biggrin

Indeed Bigun, RIP Ronnie and his large testicles pics from the days at Performance Bikes! Top man!
“Fantastic“ beamed Mark of BSD’s first TT experience. “Eight weeks ago we just had a cardboard box with a stock bike in it. Now we’ve got a 122mph lap and an eighth place in the TT- on a bike that cost about the same as the forks on some of the top bikes. And we didn’t really get enough practice. And it’s still in one bit.”
“Aye - it’ll probably fall over in t’van“, added Ronnie, helpfully

I wore Arai lids for years, then when mine needed replacing I didnt like any of the paint scheme's they had, so the manager of Hein Gericke recommended I try an X-Lite. Bloody lovely lid, really comfy cheaper than an arai and better colour schemes.
Probably gonna stay with X-Lite for a while now

Had AGV Ti-Tech for last three years, good helmet, but did leak at the top of the visor, got loose VERY quickly and restricted turning my head (got caught on my jacket collar). Recently acquired an Arai Chaser, excellent fit, nice wide-screen-like visor (although changing the visor is a real pain....so much so I've managed to pull the little lever out & can't get the little bugger back in....side pods don't seem to come off!!!) Plus no more catching on my jacket etc...Only thing I would say is it's certainly noisier in terms of wind noise than the AGV. Overall though would go for the Arai over the AGV (similar price range too!)

Have had Shoei and Arai and thought that I would have something a little bit different this time so went for the Shark RSR2
Build quality is excellent, quieter that the Arai I used to have and after speaking to the Shark people at the NEC bike show and seeing how one of the lids survived a high speed crash hitting a tree I was sold.
3mm thick visor is a nice touch as well
