Need some helmet advice

4065 Views 27 Replies 11 Participants Last post by  Adrenaline Revolution
So this is for all the guys and gals that, like me, prefer to rock a full face bucket. The helmet I currently have (cheap fulmer) seems like it has a ton of wind roar. Very noisy. What helmets do you all wear or have used that may cut down on that? Also thinking of adding a bluetooth unit with the new helmet purchase.

My scorpion exo 1000 is awesome and little noise, although I ride with ear plugs on long rides just for the comfort. Great helmet and love the flip down sun visor.
I love the flip down visor too BUT...
I sometimes just use that on real hot days and leave the main shield up.
This, I found, is like an open invitation to bees to be scooped into the helmet and only get pissed off when they hit the flip down sun screen and then crawl around for a while 'till they find your neck, right under your ear so they can sting a real soft spot.

Ask me how I figured THAT out!:tsk:



bastards!
Hey 11, never actually rode with a half helmet but most full faced one that I've used have quite a bit of roaring from the wind. Looking for one that is quieter.
Wife and I have the Fulmer full face helmets and no wind noise, but my 13" Rifle keeps just enough a way I think. But my exhaust noise is much worse on us both with the full face over the wind noise of the half helmet.

LOL AR. Never had that happen but did get a bug in there once while I was stopped. When I put the helmet back on and hit the road I noticed and noticed this little thing walking around on the main visor. I tried to get it sucked out by opening the main a little bit and that did not work. Nothing seemed to work. That think just kept walking around the visor like nothing was happing till I eventually stopped and took my helmet off. That was really annoying.

HA ha, you had a hitch hiker!
So just an update. I just ordered the scorpion exo 500 and the sena smh10. I got gear happy and order a new pair of boots too. I'll provide some feedback once I receive them. Thank you guys for all the help.
I usually pull my bandana over my sun glasses but the other morning I left a little bit exposed and a bee got in and stung me several times on my way to work. When I pulled in the garage I pulled my bandanna off and let it go. I got to my desk and my boss says hey, you need to go take care of that, come back tomorrow.... I says ok.
Awesome. That would've been my response too. "Okay boss"
"Miko

I put my kickstand down with my hand.
