Helmet Recommendations - Quietest?
Discussion
I'm looking for a new helmet to replace my Shoei Raid II, the helmet itself is fine but I do find it very noisy. Are there any makes or models that are significantly quieter than the norm.
Alternatively does anyone know of a web site featuring comparison of noise values, similar to those highly regarded 'Sharp' safety tests

I bought a Schuberth R1 2 years ago as everyone said they were so quiet. Well, I was a bit disappointed, to be honest as I found it only slightly quieter than the Souomi it replaced. Although its clearly a quality lid, the front air vent fell off and the straps are awkward for some reason. Also visors are a crazy price. So, although I'll use it (with ear plugs) till it needs to be replaced, I'll not buy another.

Must admit I was surprised that my current Suomy SPEC1-R is quieter than the Shoei it replaced.Stu R said:
I have a Schuberth and several AGVs. I prefer the latter, though the former are fractionally more quiet when it comes to wind noise.
I have a (pretty cheap) AGV K-3, only my first helmet but I think it's pretty quiet at highway speeds. Also gets a lot of good reviews about the noise. I think it cost me about £130.Gassing Station | Biker Banter | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
