Question helmet reviews - or who likes their helmet and can share their likes / dislikes

haven't seen this type of thread around yet, so here we go!

looking to get a new helmet (i think) since the one i have now - an HJC CL-12 - seems to be quite noisy at highway speeds and makes it feel like i've got a windsail strapped to my head! at some angles, it just seems to REALLY catch the wind and wants to shift around, and at other angles it whistles like a mofo. it's great for non-highway use, though. another reason to get a new one is colour (black ain't the most visible) and just basic age - this one is around 6 years old now, so even with minimal use i think it might be best to shelve it.

who has a nice aerodynamic and quiet full-face bucket that they really like for highway riding? i'd prefer to stick with normal full-face and not do the modular type. of course i realize i have to try it on myself to make sure it fits my specific head, but the stores don't usually have a wind tunnel in which to evaluate wind noise and wind-catching ability.
