Interesting. I certainly like cheaper, I'll check it out. I think the Bellistic has a little less protection than the other two from what I've read so far, which is how it comes in lighter.
Weight I'm not as worried about - I've already got a light (and battery) mounted on my current helmet and it doesn't bother me in the least, I bet I can get away with another pound. I'd definitely prefer cooler though. My commute's a bit over 6 miles each way, so it's not a killer, but still.
I appreciate all the responses, folks. I'm thinking of getting one and using it at least for winter, night riding, and for when I decide to do some offroading. Then I can see how hot it gets in summer.
Now my only problem is getting one - I don't know if the local shops around here stock full-face. Might have to guesstimate the size and order online.
