- May 10, 2013, 14:14:56 PMBecause I'm trying to keep the hearing I have left after surviving the heavy metal 80's and the Army I normally use ear plugs when doing riding on long rides (not around town obviously). I am the only one?

, and all I recall is that I found the riding experience fairly isolating.

- May 08, 2013, 12:38:19 PMFor all the reasons you state, it's probably going to have to be a Shoei. Modulars are getting better, but the hinge mechanism and all the busy parts for the chin bar will generate wind noise. I like my Symax 1 a lot, my symax II, not so much. The one piece design of a real full face helmet is superior to the added on chin bar of a modular.

my little pot for most riding, but on long trips I do have a 3/4 helmet that I carry along as an extra. Never could get comfortable in a full face, did wear a chin guard when riding drit bikes, but a full face just makes me feel to enclosed....but each to their own correct......

I don't mind dropping some serious cash . I'm tired of purchasing these cheap helmets that lack all of the above

Not sure exactly what style you're looking for as greenbarn said, Recently purchased two of these (One for my wife and one for myself so we could attach our Scala units) You buy the shell and they fit the liner to your size... The liners are removable and washable ours came with a 3/4 detachable face shield or the visor, They also have true ventilation openings front and rear, We're very pleased with them.

However, you might want to indicate what type of helmet you're looking for - full face, open, or half helmet. It will make a difference on recommendations...
