I wouldnt buy a helmet without wearing it for at least 15 minutes,to check for visability,comfort,pressure points,etc.
It really comes down to fit these days. 1000's of choices.
When you look at what a helmet is supposed to do,you get dozens of opinions why one is better than another.
Snell ratings,dot ratings,Ansi,blah blah blah. ALL KRAPP.
The best helmet in a slow to med speed crash...is a 69$ helmet from PepBoys. Why,because it actually folds or crushes a little bit on impact transfering less G force to your brain. Medium speed crash...probably something like an Icon. High speed...maybe a Shoei or Arai.
When yer head hits something,damage happens to yer brain, not so much from the initial impact...but from the next impact that takes place inside yer skull. Yer brain slams up against the not so smooth interior of yer skull. So, needless to say,a helmet that caves in just the right amount,will actually transfer less g force to the ol' melon.
This is of course my own personal opinion,that and a few manufacturers,researchers,scientists,dudes like that.
So....if you know what speed yer planning on crashing at...
yer all set.
So in other words,yer pretty much fugged like the rest of us.
Keep in mind,that when ordering a helmet,a lid that is even 1 size to big...is at least 15% less effective.
So....go out an' buy the coolest lookin' one you can find.
O and by the way..... sleep well.
just kiddin'. Rubbah.
