riding in this morning - I had a chirp of wind noise early on - but a quick fiddle with the vents and it never returned so no issues there.
wind noise at low speeds (say sub 70) is really good - would say a shade better than the chaser v - noise increases as you push thru 90 and over 100 - but would say was comparable as made no difference.
Haven't had an issue with the other stuff, but this is something I have noticed.wind noise at low speeds (say sub 70) is really good - would say a shade better than the chaser v - noise increases as you push thru 90 and over 100 - but would say was comparable as made no difference.
I assume the wind noise is coming from the top vents? I can't see anyway to close those, although I haven't given it a thorough inspection.

I tried various vent combinations (well 3 I spos - btw on the M6 the whole plastic bit of the top vent just moves back and forward) I also tried both nose breathing and the usual rain technique of blowing the air downwards with pursed lips ! the top did clear at one stage - then it misted at a different point of the visor.... it wasnt that cold this morning so it didnt bode well.
maybe I just breathe / pant like a sex offender then ! but older arai clearvision pinlocks were epic - you could have a hot cup of tea in 2 degrees and pant like a dog and no steaming what so ever - my route to work is dark dingy and fecking dangerous so im a little precious about having good vision

nope - I didnt see one - dont know if the m6 has one. But then the mrs had already unpacked it - maybe its around here somewhere.
Have you got a "chin curtain" in? If so remove it, they are a mare for causing fog even on decent days. My Shoei drove me mad until I sussed it was chin curtain causing it. !!Ordered the M5X Carbon yesterday with free delivery and bought the visor off J&S both arrived today excellent service. The helmet is really light and just looks quality, I ordered a Large as I have tended to have Sharks before always Large and it fits perfect.
Thanks everyone for the heads up on both items

These helmets look great. I am a large in an Arai (which this will replace) but went for an xl in the shuberth. If these are a bit tight compared to arai am I best going xl?
Buy whichever size and then return it if it doesn't fit right and get a different size. Amazon returns are piss easy and free. After 200 miles at the weekend the Bell Carbon in XL is a bit tight for me.
My ears actually went numb, slight pain in the forehead area, also the chin strap is a bit cheap and abrasive with no padding so I found that after while my neck got a bit sore. So I guess it wont be the helmet I wear for long trips.

I got misted up to hell last night in the rain..... if it was summer I would keep it - but given it the start of 6 months of misery commuting I think I may offload my M6 Carbon. Paid £237 but what is a fair price for it after wearing it for 3 days ? The mrs has helpfully thrown away the receipts and gubbings that came with it - but kept the box and carry bag....
If anyone wants a M6 carbon (pics in this thread maybe two pages back) you can have it for £180 quid if you come and get it from Ongar ( in between brentwood/chelmsford in essex)
