I finally picked the Arai GP-J3 open-face.
It's remarkably comfortable, has a very low profile (as compared to others), and HANS posts.
Go to a shop and try on as many as you can. In the car in your normal driving position, if you can. And get the best helmet you can swing. It's a vitally important piece of gear.

So that is my next issue, from what two of the locals said there isn't a local shop in the OKC metroplex anymore. So that puts me in a quandary for sure, more so to spend that kind of money and have fitment issues. I am short only being 5'8" so I have that on my side, but I would love to be able to try one on first.
