You shouldn't buy a helmet if you can't try it on/see it up close. Just my .02.

+1. Each brand fits a little differently, and are best for differently shaped heads. Sizes are unique as well.

Little late on this reply but I have the daystar agv and I like em. It's really light, fits great,but a little noisy. I actually bought it online for about 150.00. Much cheaper than in-town store prices. At the time I had to budget between a helmet and other things so I couldn't really afford the higher end helmets. But I agree with the others and it's about trying on a getting the one that feels right. I think if you get one you'll like it but see if you can try it on in a shop first for the right size. However, I tried both Shoei x-11 and rf-1000 and I really like the rf-1000. It looks compact and just feels right. So I think the next helmet I own will be a shoei.

I've owned two higher end agvs' in the past and think they're great quality .. no complaints except a bit on the noisy side .. have shoei rf1000 now and it's much quieter but both are great lids as long it fits your head shape. shoei has much better shield though (unless agv has improved that on newer models since I had mine)

I own the AGV TiTech and I love it. Very light and vents well. Also very well designed as far as aerodynamics go (at 100mph looking through a turn, there is little resistance with the air/wind). Only problem I have with it is that it is loud. Louder than my EXO-700, but I like it better. Earplugs do miracles.
