Schwinn Thrasher Adult Micro Bicycle black/grey Helmet (Adult) is a great helmet. It fits well (6'3" 200 pound male). The adjustment wheel works perfectly and is well made. There is a lot of cooling airflow when you are out riding and the visor blocks the sun quite well. I was surprised with the build quality given the price and it even looks good on top of it all! (In fact it's good enough/stylish enough to steal apparently and I'm back for my second helmet. If someone wants to steal this helmet and save their thief head I will happily purchase more and pass them around to anyone who wants one.) Thanks Schwinn!

How do I find the right helmet for me?

Unless you have a helmet you love and you want to get another, I would not suggest getting one online. Helmets are something you really want to try on to be sure it fits your noggin comfortably. So, go to your local bike store and try a bunch on until you find one you love.
With regards to fit, get the smallest helmet that fits your head. You don't want to have to take up space in the helmet with huge pads to make it fit. Likewise, you don't want to have it so small that it rubs or squeezes your head. A well fit helmet will make gentle contact with the crown, front, back and sides of your head. If you can shove it about easily it doesn't fit well.
Personally, I like visorless helmets because I've never had a sun visor that stayed attached particularly well. Also, I think the visorless helmets have a bit sleeker look, especially if the visor falls off somewhere and gets lost.
Beyond fit and comfort, the most important items I look for are:
1. Easy adjustability of the back band. Personally, I like the helmets that have a small wheel in the back that you turn to adjust the back band for a good fit.
2. Easy adjustability of the straps. If I can't adjust the straps in a few moments while standing in the store I go find another model. This may not matter too much to you unless you ride in all types of weather and need to wear a cap on some days and not others.
3. One piece sweat band in the forehead. Personally, I find two piece seat bands channel perspiration right into my eyes. Some folks swear by them, though.
4. Good quality foam pads. Perhaps I have a rather corrosive head, but I've found less expensive pads and/or cloth covered pads tend to fall apart in short order.
Fashion dictates that helmet models are being changed and updated all the time. My all time favorite helmet is a Louis Garneau which became unavailable a few months after I bought it. I can not tell you how many times I wished I had bought another one before it was discontinued. I know that the pads will either deteriorate or I will have a crash and ruin this helmet. Then, just like you, I'll be having to look for yet another helmet.
Finally, be sure you wear your helmet everytime you get on your bicycle. The first time you break a helmet in an impact and your head escapes unscathed you'll really, really appreciate its value.
Hope this helps you choose a helmet.
