what helmet to purchase ?

Looking to buy a new helmet. Not interested in the auto dark models....just a plain 4 X 5 helmet that rachets well!!!
Suggestions !!!?

Fibre metal makes a real nice hood as does Jackson in the non-autos. The fibremetal model that comes to mind is a large window with a flip front, at $45 I think. My buddy just bought one I'll check on wednesday and post back.

Are there several models of the shadow, or no ?

come in big or small window, plain or with some graphics. i just have plain big window, but get used out side in dirty conditions.

Thanks, the Jackson "Shadow" was one of the 2 I was looking at. PJS suggested the Fibre Metal and was going to get some more info for me. I currently have a Jackson but it's old as the hills and the headgear is all but wore out. I'll just make it my "visitor" helmet.
Thanks for the info. this forum is ALWAYS a big help!!
