Shoei here too, tried others with the built in sun visor thing that retracts, but were not very nice to wear.

No idea on noise compared to others, I really should try some to see if they are any better.

When I got back into biking after a 20 year break, I dug my old Lazer full face out of the attic as an interim till I got a new lid.  On my first run out on my new bike however the lining started to disintegrate at about 70mph, and I had bits of foam flying around inside!!  :o

I decided to test the strength of my 20 year old helmet and put the sledgehammer into it!! and it took alot of punishment until it finally cracked and broke!  :)

My current helmet is a HJC, light, comfortable and good value.  :y

They must come with an anti-nod sticker, never had a Harley owner give me the nod when I'm about. Its not a BMW thing either as they never done it when i was on the Yam, miserable gits!

Try riding a trail bike and you will call all other bikers except 16 year olds miserable gits. Because most weekend warriors don't even know what a trail bike is, and yet they tell me they been riding for decades the sad gits.

AVG, before that Griffin Clubman which had to be replaced as lining was falling apart.  ::) ::) ::)

AVG has lost one of the top air vents, but besides that good helmet. I now always wear ear plugs, as AVG much noisier than the Clubman. Without the earplugs than after about 35 miles ear ring, which is bad news.  :( :( :(

I know somebody who went deaf in their 40's from working in a noisy factory environment and the amount of problems it causes him, it is best avoided.  :o :o :o

Riding a sports bike as I've got older I'm finding wrists ache after about 50 miles.  :-[ :(
