I've got a Schoei Z-100V which I like.  It comes in hat sizes (the largest
being 7-3/4, has movable upper and lower vents, and fits me.  This last is
important, as I tried one of the newer Marushins and my jaw kept hitting
the front of the helmet.  Also, I've noticed that now that I've worn my
Shoei for a while that the foam inside is compressing a little, which gives
me more room than I had originally, which was somewhat of a tight fit.
It's also reasonably quiet, although you can still tell that you're riding
a motorcycle.
