I've got an OGK FF-5 helmet. This is the first helmet I have owned so I don't have a lot to compare to, while riding at least. I tried on many helmets. I must have a genericly shaped head as most felt comfortable.
To me this helmet felt very much like the Shoes and Arais I tried on, but a fair bit cheaper. Much better quality than the HJC's. Probably the lightest helmet I tried.
On the road the helmet does not have any of the issues the OP mentioned ie being buffeted or pulled around. At 100km/h the wind kinda holds your head straight. To shoulder check requires a little effort to turn your head. Raod noise is very good. I sometimes get a slight whistle at speed. Nothing some earplugs/earphones wouldn't fix. The air ventilation is almost too good. My lips dry out, even with the vents closed. The visor does not fog up at all, although I haven't riden in very cold weather yet.
This webBikeWorld.com sold it for me. They rated it as the "helmet of the Year for 2008" yet we have only just received it here in Australia. Well it was the first FF-5 my shop got in.
