Richard,
I have the Arai Quantum/S; it is one of the lightest full face helmets
available. For wind noise use a neck curtain, earplugs or there is a new
thing, a strip you stick on top of your helmet that actually breaks up the
air eddies and reduces buffeting which causes the ear annoyance. As you
know, full face helmets with flip up chinguards are heavier so there is more
weight on your head to hold up and turn with aging neck muscles and bones.
Now is a good time to buy a helmet. Bob

So my wife gave me a go out and buy a new helmet certificate for
Christmas. My old Shoei is probably 15 years old (yea, I know but I've got
about 4 of them that old). Anyway I don't keep up on things like what is
current in the helmet world, so I'll ask you guys. Anyone have a favorite
at
 the moment? I like the idea of the Nolan with the flip up chinguard so I
don't need to take my glasses off to get it on and off. Just need your
basic
 solid black no thrills well fitting helmet. I tried a couple of Arai on
today
 and Quantum and Signet and they felt pretty good. But any experiences with
wind noise, fit and such would be helpful
Thanks for any kind of response,
Rich
