I wish others would share their data. I'll be happy to discuss my findings. I think we'll get the car faster, quicker, if we all share data.

HJC helmets are terrific. If your glasses fit in one of them, do that. I have the SI-12 (a bit above your price range) and being that it's under 3lbs makes it unbelievably comfortable.
