Recommen me an offroad Lid

[Dakar Gal]

Im sick of wrecking the Arai Tourx by using it offroad. Before it gets to a state where I'll be looking for a new one for Christmas, can anyone recommend me a good offroad lid?

In order of priority:
1. Safety - dont want to compromise on this
2. Weight - had a loan of a lightweight cheap helmet, and the lighter helmet was definately an advantage
3. Price - Im hoping they are a bit cheaper than the Tourx!
4. Style/looks - if Im honest, this is probably further up the priorities list!

I'm wanting to do the same with my criteria being identical in every way

I'm hoping to get one of these as soon as I have the spare pennies.

Thing is about the tourX and similar* is the visor/goggles thing is dead handy when the weather turns and you have some road miles to do. Goggles can be a pain in bad weather when you have road work to get to and from the ferry and the like. They are versatile.
Someone had a nice red tourx s/h on here for £100, gone now think.

*maybe a cheaper visor fitted variant, I suppose.

I stopped using my Tour-X for similar reasons ...

Tried a few of the "off-road" MotoX helmets (luckily a mate is in the trade and gets given/tests all sorts each year), pretty mixed really, some very cheap and nasty, scratchy linings, etc ... if you're not careful you creep back up into Arai territory again ;-)

So, after some searching I compromised on either a KBC or last years stock of Animal, found a great deal on the Animal and picked up two in silver/red for 50quid each.

Its ECE approved, etc, light, breezy and prepped for goggles, interior is above average and if I drop it (which I was wont to do!) I won't be too upset!

If you just want a cheapish off raoder with a visor have a look at the Airoh Tyger.

or these from HJC:
