The Airoh SV55 with flip-up visor and built in shades. (See more Airoh goodness here AND I noticed Airoh has a little request form to import helmets into “your country”. This could be good!)
I bought an Airoh SV55 off of Italian eBay. There are also Internet sellers on French eBay. These sellers often ship to the U.S. So far, I’ve had no problems getting such items through U.S. Customs.
Sans doute il est très cher, and you have to know a foreign language. Malheurusement, that’s the price you have to pay. As far as importing, I’m looking into it. So far, it looks like the Airoh does not have DOT certification. With no helmet laws in Iowa, I really don’t care. If someone wants to import and sell broadly — likely a problem.

Anyone seen the The Dainese D JET Bluetooth without the bluetooth? I think that helmet is cool, but could care less about the bluetooth part.

The D Jet DOES come without Bluetooth and you might have better luck at getting one if you’re in India.
And THANKS Brda for the tip. I know shipping can be $$$ from Italy or France, but that’s the price you pay to get something that stands out.
