I bought the Astral Abba for my wife and daughter and they like the  
fit. Its purple if you squint a bit. Men dont do colors well.

NRS also sells the helmet you like. I like the above water function  
of a billed ww helmet but I was always concerned that below water the  
current would rotate the helmet away from your forehead and expose  
your skull to rocks. Color me a worrier I guess. Most of my class V  
buddies wear billed helmets and they arent dead. At least not socially.
