Find a lid that fits. Don't be a brand or fashion hoar.
I've a cheap KBC and it's far more comfortable than my shark S900.
Ok no sun visor. So on days like today it's a shark day.
But the Aria don't have a sun visor either, cost lots more than a KBC. It's not that much better. Lighter yes and bigger field of view
Don't be shy of haggling in the shop either.

I have a Shoei and a caberg, both fit me perfectly, went to J&S and tried on a variety of lids but others just did not fit my noggin regardless of brand or cost. My advice is to do something similar and get the best you can afford. Some online retailers will let you return a lid if you receive it and it doesn't suit, as long as all labels still intact of course. Jayneflakes has the right idea about a fan but don't know if that would generate enough draught to replicate riding. If you have friends that ride could always try a quickspin to see if there lids are any better, failing that wear some swimming goggles (only joking!)
