NAVA fiberglass (not ABS) is a wonderful helmet.  Quiet, good fit,
nifty shield.  I made one mod. to the shield, painting a band (on the
inside) near the bottom so that when the shield is open, it serves
to block sunlight from overhead.  The band is not so wide that
peripheral vision is blocked, nor does it obviate partial shield
openings.  Also, Sony personal stereo headphones (or Akai) when
removed from their armature make a neat installation.  I terminated
them in a female mini-plug from Radio Shack, mounted about mid-jaw
on the left. (The male jack sticking out is reminiscent of Frankenstein
makeup.  I'm still looking for a good molded right angle jack to
correct this somewhat bizarre image.)

These helmets can often be found on sale (!) for about $130.  But,
it comes with a protective bag, and you could have this one for years.

Be kind to your cranium.  It may contain valuable structures
that could lead you to years of happiness.
