Helmets

[B7ACKTHORN]

I know it's not aimed at me but since I do own the same helmet and am using it for quite some time, I'd like to tell people that the wind noise is too damn much! It's damn irritating use this when there are crosswinds/or when doing good speeds!
The quality is good and the ventilation is even better but....................the wind noise......aaaarghhh!

Yes bro. And I guess you've quoted the same experience back this same thread.

Ride review! Do post without fail the ride review. And since I guess the CEEBEEAAR yours, it's pretty easy to touch triple digits without a sweat and do post us post the triple digit speeds of the helmet.



Very true, djay. Very true.

One man's junk is another man's treasure, as the saying goes.

Yes the wind noise does get a bit unbearable at first, The 400km trip i did back home from Bangalore, i was doing a constant 110-135 everywhere and completed the trip in just over 4 hours(mlore-Blore). The vents on this one work great, my head was dry despite me doing the trip in the afternoon on the ghats and all.

YEs the noise is a factor at triple digits. Its pretty much bearable till 100 and then it gets a whole lot noisier. But i guess i wasnt concentrating on the wind noise there since i could barely here my own bike's exhaust with the lid closed. All and all the cheek padding is great and the shell seems to be tougher than the LS2s ive seen so far.

Did you really go through this thread buddy?

The answer to your query is just three pages back from here.

But still let me answer your questions. SOL is upwards for 5k, nothing less than 5k in SOL. For your budget you can look at Cross, LS2 or Studds Scorpion or Studds RHYNO, both are excellent VFM helmets and have all that you ask for.
