Bell hp3 is great if you have a "bell-shaped" head.

+1 I've had rubber and rocks come through the open window. I run with the shield down or in the summer cracked for some air flow.

I'm looking at the Stilo because of the built in radio jack and speakers. I don't like ear buds and have been using helmet speakers but have been having all sorts of problems with flimsy wiring. Anyone using a Stilo with the speakers?

Ditto shield down...I've been hit by debris too...

I have a couple of Bells, a GP5 and a GP6. The quality of the Arai is vastly superior to the Bell in my opinion. The wind buffeting, hardware and shield fitment is also much better. While a Shuberth is great, try getting a clear visor or a spare washer for it trackside on the day you need it.

You can't go wrong with the Arai and you don't need to spend money on a carbon model. And for those debating a Hans, don't. Buy it, wear it and move on.
