I've always used a full face or modular helmet. Unfortunately, my current Nolan modular won't fit in the F6B panniers. So, for around-town driving I'm going to purchase my first half-helmet and reserve the Nolan for touring.
Do you have any advice on a choice for a value-priced half helmet? I know the protection won't be that of a full face, but the more protection and comfort, the better.
Thanks,
Jeff

Have you considered a 3/4? This is what I'd recommend... even though I ride in the blistering heat of Florida and would prefer the air flow of a 1/2.

Anthony there is the man!
Find a store that has many brands. Some half helmets sit on top of your head and feel like they are falling off. I had one of those and sold it and bought one that sits a little lower and feels like a baseball hat. Good luck.
I use a Shoei St Cruz if you can find one. I wear a med in half helmets and a large in 3/4 (imagine the Coneheads). In the St Cruz the small fits perfect and they are still around. I think that they run a size larger.

My other favorite is the Bell Drifter (style) and Pit Boss (function) depending on your taste. I also have the Scorpion, but they are heavy for the size. JMHO. That may not be a deal breaker for you.

Akoury helmets make a very light DOT half helmet. Not overpriced either.

Just bought a Bell Rogue myself and like it a lot. Had a SuperSeer before that went through a spill with me. The Superseer is a great helmet but new now they are around $350.

I like my Scorpion half helmet. It's all I ride with. Have a Scala on it, it has a tinted shield I can drop down if I choose. Have had the thought of buying a decent modular or full face helmet for colder weather. Right now I use a mask if it's really chilly.
The Bell Pit Boss will be my next helmet. Has an adjuster on the back like a bicycle helmet that really snugs it to your head. Also doesn't make you look like a mushroom head.
