It's on my cart and I use for a driving helmet right now.

The Jr8 is about $165 and a lot of people seem to like it. (My head is too round for COs.)<br /><br />Ovation makes a solid line of helmets. I have the Schooler and it's comfortable, lightweight, and runs about $55. They have several options under $100 if you don't like the look of the Schooler! <br /><br />Troxel also has a surprising number of good looking helmet options. I mean, they still make that classic white bubble of a helmet, but all of their English options are sleek and stylish. They're all under $200, too!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07140631127593549541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8751398798342994168.post-50654220913174257612015-06-15T13:02:40.904-04:002015-06-15T13:02:40.904-04:00If you're not worried about venting since VT i...If you're not worried about venting since VT is much cooler than TX, I'd get the CO Jr8.

Anyway, it fits my head and doesn't look like a black bubble slowly engulfing my face. It's a little warm but I'm fine with it.

I really like the elite extreme. No bubble head look and lots of ventilation. I think IRH is very underrated.
