Over the years I have had a few different makes, Bell, Kiwi, Simpson, RST. The RST is a few years old and being fair gets quite a bit of wind noise. I went on an hour and a half run and my ears felt like I had been in a nightclub when I got off.....

I have been looking at the new Shoei Noetec and to be honest it is a nice helmetr but have decided on a Schuberth C3 which is really quite  so need to get a few miles in whilst the sun has got HIS hat on

Suomy Vandal Troy Bayliss replica. Also have an old Aria which I keep for pillions.

I've always had a Shoei head up until last year when for the first time ever I got a Arai which fitted me. I'd still have a Shoei I just liked the look of the Arai and with it's Phil Read replica pant work and a black visor it looks the mutts

[Andy B]

Mine's Shoei ............ no idea of the model 

[feeutfo]

Shoei. Only one that fits.

Agv don't make one big enough

Arai do but my head is the wrong shape. Most people have either Arai or Shoei shaped heads.

Noise is always an issue. Constant on and off action means the foam pads under the ears don't sit as snug to the neck as they should. Too tight and it's painfull on your ears to take on and off. Too loose and you go def quicker.

Kagayama rep btw.

Big headed bugger! 

There weren't many that fitted me either ...............

stick with the bell darling its you

[Elite Pete]

I thought you'd be partial to a pink helmet youth

Chris, i'm surprised you can't get an AGV big enough. Mines an AGV and i've got a horses head

[mantahatch]

God know how old my crash helmet is. It was a hand me down from my brother when he did MotoX. He is allways said it was not for road use as it failed the spike test at the time. I imagine it is from the mid to late 80s is full face and I wear MotoX goggles with it.

Please don't tell me I should have a new one every year or two, sick of hearing it from family and friends. it matches my bike perfecrtly.

Caberg V2R f/face, Caberg Trip, and an LS2 (still 4*)....... i like helmets 

[MrMoffat]

As a former biker, never compromise on a cheap skid lid & try and buy the best you can afford  Seen to many accidents with bikers with inferior & old damaged helmets 
As the saying goes 'Keep em peeled for Bikers'

Get some foam ear plugs. They take out all the wind noise but you can still hear through them

Apparently the wind noise at 70mph is as bad as standing next to a pneumatic drill, but sustained! It will damage your hearing!

[blackviper90210]

 Shoei helmet for me too. Very comfy and being black with a tinted visor, looks damn good, if I say so myself

I got myself some musicians earplugs for use in the MR2 for just that reason - roof down, 70mph, you get to the other end half deaf..
