Could go with the third as much or less Builtwell Gringo:





the downside being it's not sealed like the Bell, so if it rains, you'll probably get water on the inside.

I've been using my bell bullitt for 2 years. It's a great lid that goes with retro rides. It's neither heavy nor bobble-head like. The liner is well-made and attractive.  And the finish---magnetic visor closure, leather visor strap, chrome or stainless bits here and there, retro-looking air vents---is excellent. Bell offers a bunch of visor options and there are inserts of various thickness should it fit too tightly or not snug enough out of the box. Personally, I replaced my worn pads with slightly thicker ones and it was even more perfect. The main complaints are 1) the vents don't close so your noggin could get damp in the rain and 2) it's noisy. The first of these is hardly a concern but the second is a fair critique. The Bullitt is not quiet.  If you're plannng on riding at highway speed, earplugs are required.

Same here - only complaint is that your chin sticks out underneath.  Comfy, though. . .
