full face shield with flip down clear shield to keep the bugs out as your zooming along there are lots of brands out there just get the right size for your head and rembember that helmets deteriorate over time try not to scratch it too much most helmets nly have a one year warranty on them, and if you were to get in an accident and live to tell about it it would probably be a good idea to get another helmet. The warranties would be void after one impact the helmet might look ok but better safe than sorry.

The question should be "what type of helmet do YOU prefer".
It's what makes you feel safe and comfortable that matters. Many of us riders have several helmets; for colder rides, for the middle of summer, for short around town rides. Some people love a full face helmet, I think it's like riding with your head in a bucket. See what your riding friends wear. Try them out. see what you like, but make sure it fits properly. Helmets go from $50 to several hundred. It's what makes you happy and it's what you will wear.

A Schuberth Concept helmet.

Full face is by far the safest, or modular if the quality is good.
Go for fiberglass or similar material as it absorbs energy much better than the 'bouncy' plastics.
Best brand in my opinion (assuming the fit is good): Shoei. 2nd place Schuberth (good luck finding one, especially one that fits though)

HJC CL-21M.
DOT tested. Makes it legal. No test can represent real life accurately. Too many variables.
Thick skull, cheap helmet. And I got it for 10 bucks less because the display one had the previous years price still on it.

Full face. Get one that fits and has a DOT sticker, and a "Snell rating."
My helmet is an Arai. It was cheap because it has stickers that read "Suzuki" on it, and it was being sold at a Yamaha dealer. LOL.
