Buff is a must IMO.
Get a light one for the summer and a thermal one for the winter.
Regardless of weather, it can get stinging on the neck if there are any gaps.
Regarding lid, pinlock is a revelation, internal sunvisor is a divisive thing, but I love it (I wear glasses all the time) ideal when the weather is changeable.
I do not know if either of these are applicable to the lid you are suggesting.
Depending on how much riding you plan to do, but a spare can be a good thing if you can afford it and store it.
I used to commute 52 weeks a year, torrential rain can get everything soaked, a spare lid for tomorrows commute did me a favour. (took me a year or so to buy the 2nd)
HJC IS-17, 5 star sharp rating (the gov standard for crash helmet ratings) Think it cost £100 at the excel bike show a few years back
