    Thanks for the tip! Hope you enjoy the fab helmet!
    I was thinking of buying the bell qualifier (8K) from highnoteperformance as they have a store here in delhi. I just need to try on a helmet before i pick it up, hence a bit skeptical about the size and fit when buying online.. but am still tempted. Any tips on that (apart from the head circumference measurement)?

      Yes, don't buy directly before trying out. I tried Qualifier and had pressure points on Forehead. Try any helmet for 5 to 10 minutes with and without Balaclava and then decide.

        A very simple and basic Bluetooth headset that i have bought from banggood.
        Working fine as of now , works well below 80kmph with some mild disturbance.
        Works fine with Google maps which is my prime usage.
        Product link and pricing is given in video description. Made the video in Hindi.

        Admins plz delete or let me know if the post is in the wrong thread.

          I got the Bell qualifier from them back in December, I did not try it and just went for the size M. Initially, felt very tight, but after using it for two weeks, it's very comfortable and fits perfectly.

          Good insulation from noise and wind. Feels good
          A bit heavy though.
          You can send it back if it doesn't fit you well and get a diff size. I used to use LS2 large and Bell M seems perfect
          AweSome is too LesS!

            Thanks Vinbex. Ya, i tried them on and the small seemed a bit too tight, and the medium seemed fine. You are right, it is a tad heavy, but overall good VFM. Haven't bought it yet, as am trying to see if i can get a scorpion exo R710 from the U.S.. Else i'll pick this one up from Highnote.

              Hello everyone. Just wanted your opinion to buy a nice ventilated helmet for summer use. I am currently using a LS2 FF386 which is a modular helmet and summer time wearing this helmet is killing me.

                  Hello guys
                  I had a budget of 8k and recently picked up my revenge binomy but I really expected wind noise to drop as compared to my previous studds Shifter but to my shock there isn't much difference and furthermore apart from windnoise there is a very irritating whistling sound from speed as low as 60 if there are crosswinds and 70 if not. Please consider I ride a naked bike i.e dominar. If there is something wrong with my helmet or any solution to my problem

                    only solution to your problem is earplugs.

                        Well in my case, I put it in the helmet bag and gave it as check-in luggage

                          No getting away from this no matter how many air vents u have in this weather you will be sweating like hell. I am using 580mm studds rhyno in city and smk twister 550mm on highway. Best way to beat the sweat is to open all vents and crack open the visor whenever you can.
                          For city you can try studds shifter it is very well ventilated helmet.

                            There is no such thing as a silent helmet a more aerodynamic helmet will have more wind nosie due to the direction of wind but it will be more stable. Even the Arai , agv and likes do have some amount of wind noise. Best option is to use earplugs.

                              Wind noise inside the helmet depends on a lot of factors like helmet fit, helmet shape, riding position, height of windshield, direction and intensity of wind.
                              With that being said, helmets can be silent compared to one another, isolating more or less of the wind noise, but there can not be a saloon like silent helmet.

                              As Somesh said, I would recommend using good quality earplugs from Pinlock or NoNoise.
                              Even 3m ones will do the job, just buy the ones with a lot of cone flaps, they seal better.

                                True. But is there any other option too? I have a budget of 10k max.
