Motorcycle helmets give you a bald spot on the top of your head.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

New helmet questions

No burned head for me. For my dad yup, for my brother, probably soon. I just got lucky. Half my life has been spent in helmets of some form. I dispute your research.Ha! you laugh GG, but I bet you are thin on top too
too many years of helmet head
No drop down visor. How are they for room for sunglasses. I have a cl17 and find it difficult to fit glasses. I do have the tinted visor but would like to try a drop down for convenience

Oakley flak jackets are pretty good in a helmet. Half jackets are a complete non-starter.

Probably not the most relevant comment but I really like Icon helmets because of their unique graphics annd visors. I also like that their helmets rarely have any branding besides maybe the safety stickers on the back. ANyways that said, I know theyre nowhere near ECE or the safest helmets for the money at least relative to other things on the market. But! their airframe model is a 4/5 on SHARP rating which is what I'd get next. PErsonally knowing that my helmet is only 3/5 on SHARP isnt confidence inspiring.
Yeah the K6 is carbon weave. 2.7 lbs, I love it.
One thing with some full carbon lids is they can be noisier.
I think @Trials currently has one.

I believe @Scuba Steve was rocking the kaos or riot Carbon helmet. If memory serves he liked it and the weight...

Bah! I really wanted to like the K6, but was so disappointed. It simply doesn't fit my oddball melon.
This factor is often overlooked. HJC visors are typically about half the cost of Shoei or Arai. Something to consider.
I can't stand drop down visors. Happy to swap clear/tinted when necessary.
Another thumbs up for HJC RPHA 11. Every bit as good as Shoei or Arai.
Ultimately, buy the helmet which fits.
I have a kaos love the weight but it is getting older and need to replace it soon. Not sure if they are still around.

Revzilla just did a 'Best Helmets of 2021' video that might be worth a look. Unsurprisingly, their pick for street is the RF-1400, though they do suggest a budget alternative.
That Bell Race Star DLX looks nice. It'll be a toss-up between that and the Shark FIM model for my next track lid...

The difference between the reg rpha 11 pro, and the rpha 11 carbon is 0.14 lb
hit GP to try it on for fit before you spend the cheddar!
RPHA 11 ordered. $463 + tax @ Inglis ($521+tax @ GP)
