Search Amazon for helmet with whatever rating you're comfortable with.
Ken, we had some interesting discussions about full face helmets at the show. My current helmet is open face. Had always had full face ones prior, including motorcycle helmets, and will be going with a full face one again. I just never felt comfortable with the open front. There are a lot of variations in full face openings view wise, with many having such small openings they wouldn't be street legal. Yes two helmets is expensive, until you see a brain injury recovery.

Found this study interesting, even though it is of motorcycle riders.
