After three pages, is that it?
After three pages, is that it?
any Shoei will be quieter than Arai. Have 1 of each, I wear both
I know they look like they will but generally I've not had any problems with mine at all, and that was used on an RTW lasting 3 years and 100,000km. The peripheral vision is excellent and the visor is great if you're riding into the sun. I've just bought a new one so they obviously get my vote ! However, as others have said, you need to try any helmet on to see if it suits your shape head. All Arai models I've tried work for me, but I know that's not true for everybody.
At the same time?
How clever is that

It has been a great day in UKGSer 1200 land... and that little exchange rounds it off, nicely.
You are, sirs, Tossers of the highest order.

On a bad day I would be duty bound to take that as an insult cur ...
But it's a good day indeed sir, so I take it as a compliment
May JB and me have time off then for good behaviour
Disregarding that I may be in 1200 land ... it's the Schuberth C3 for me every time
1/2 lb (8oz) lighter than a C2, better fastening/release, coms so eeeezy to fit, it's a revelation

Schuberth C2 (anthrazit) with built in speakers for my zumo and bmw system 5 (titan silver).
Both are comfy and quiet. The vents on the bmw work better, but the c2 has a built in sunscreen.

I bought a new S1 after falling on me 'ed
but returned it very rapidly because of lousy ventilation, almost zero in fact - the shop blew air through it and said "it's fine" - but I didn't agree but we did agree to swap it for a S1 Pro - feck me, the world of difference The moral - if you decide on a S1 then spring for a Pro......
Try a System 5, pretty good on short journeys without plugs with the added advantage of being able to ventilate at low speeds. Haven't tried a 6 but in my local dealers there is big cash off a S5, probably to clear them. Also Arai Chaser is good but ventilation is poor with the tall screen as the air flow goes over my head (GSA screen on a GS)

Schuberth C2
Quiet, comfy and stylish. The sunscreen is top in variable weather. The air of screen and inside is great.
For the bad parts: A bit expensive. When open it works as a parachute over 60kph. Last but not least, I had to position the screen on the GS1150 to its lower position to avoid buffeting (I even took of the two back screws to get a real low position, but it gives a special-sporty look to the mamooth!)
Nevertheless my best buy so far, the very best is my GS!
Cheers

Shoie XR-1000 with pinlock, with my cross eyes I don't have any problems with vision. Do wear ear plugs.

Got a Shoue Multitech which is a great helmet but not quiet without earplugs. Actually, I don`t know any helmet which is quiet without plugs
Schuberth C Flip thingy is quietest I had but it was bloody heavy - I had trouble hearing people with the flip uo and no plugs in !!

Not grumpy at all.
I was hoping it was going somewhere but all we got, after three pages*, was a very poor trip report and the news that the OP didn't like two of the helmets that he had tried.....
Oh, and that he is deaf and had a dreadful taste in music....
Still, never mind. If it pleases people to make lists, carry on.....
