Anything out there that you people particularly like?

I have a Metro. It's a good helmet if it fits your head. Some people can wear Bells and some can't.

I really like the fit adjustment on the Metro. It can be tightened down to really keep the helmet on your head. I have another Bell with the same adjustment and like them both. It's about the best fit adjustment I've found.

I use the winter kit for the helmet but no the earflaps. It works well, removes quickly and, with an ear warmer, is a nice warm helmet.

The visor is a bit short and the helmet is a bit dorky but other than that it's a good lid.
