When I got back into MCs, I decided to go pretty basic. It's a CL-16 Hellion from HJC. It's a good fit for my extra large head, and the price was around $130 US. Full face helmet, pinlock system, works very well (except for the venting: needs more), and isn't all that heavy. It's got pretty gaudy graphics, and that's the idea: increase visibility to the cagers.
The one that fit me the best was a $400 Shoei, but I didn't want to drop that kind of coin not knowing how long I'd be riding. I may upgrade to one of those, in electric/Day-Glo orange or green.
Any skid lid is better than nothing at all. You've only got one brain. Use it or lose it.
