I had a Shoei RF-800 for the past 4 years. It was comfortable but the face 
shield was horrible in the rain but other than that it was a fine helmet.

Last year I bought an Arai Signet and wore it for a bout 3 days and exchanged 
it for the Quantum/F. The Quantum F is wonderful, lighter with good ventilation 
but the noise was a bit of a shock. I switched back to the stock wind screen on 
the RS and that improved it a little and now I've been wearing the "extreme" 
Hearo ear plugs... 

I found both the Shoei and Quantum/F to be comfortable. Now that Signet was 
painful! I bought them at Cycle Gear in San Francisco they have a 30-day 
exchange/return policy. I'm glad I was able to get the right fit.
