I am a big fan of Schuberth helmets. I feel that they are the most comfortable, the quietest and among the most protective helmets on the market. Plush and comfy once they break in. 


Schuberth Helmets - Free Shipping, No Hassle Returns and the Lowest...

 

Here is my next Helmet, wife is getting me one for Christmas.

I like Shoei. I just got a new old stock (but not expired) GT Air. I don't like the GT Air 2

What did they change on the GT-Air 2 that you didn't like?

Three things- 

1 - Rear vent is always open. I live in Wisconsin and I want to be able to close that vent. One would think a rearward facing vent wouldn't be an issue. But on my large touring bike (HD) there is back-pressure and I can feel it in cold weather.

2 - Sun visor extends down further. I have a big nose - nuff said. ;)

3 - Bluetooth ready doesn't appeal to me. I have yet to hear a system I'm happy with, so I don't want my helmet built to accept any particular one. Sure, one can still use any system. It's not a deal breaker, but I saw it as a "con". 

Also factor that I got my helmet on closeout for half of what a new GT Air 2 costs and it was a no-brainer.

How does that peak.catch the wind given the strange air movement on the FJ. I considered a dual sport helmet when I bought the Klim, but I figured that the buffeting would be terrible.

I don't have this helmet yet, but the visor works great on my other helmets and my dirtbike helmets. It's especially handy when facing the sun. It catches the wind a little more than non visored helmets but you get used to it real fast and the sun blocking aspect totally makes it worth it!

Normally ride without the peak on the AT-950 but did try it up to about 80mph... fluttered a bit but not annoyingly so. 

Bear in mind that the FJ-09's turbulence varies based on several factors (windscreen, handguards, rider etc) so YMMV.
