I’ve had good luck with speedglass and Lincon helmets.

Look for an auto glass with 4 sensors. Put it in the $150-$300 range and you will get a good helmet that will last a long time.
I have more questions than answers

Over the years I've used several different helmets and just recently A friend gave me a helmet while we was doing a project for him making silhouette targets. It's a Vulcan helmet sold buy Harbor Freight but he said he bought it online cheaper.
This helmet is very easy to see through with numerous settings. Very pleasing to use for these old eyes.
