For 350, depending on your answer it would be a schuberth c3 (not the new pro), or a nexx r1r carbon.

I've got a Nolan at the minute (n103 flipup)... It's horrifically loud.

Caberg Chrono here fella so I share you're pain with noise & leaky visor...........I'm looking at the Shark S900C. Good luck.

(As with 95% of helmets now the lining is completely removeable to throw in the washing machine!)

Post by: Robbus on 05 October 2013, 05:34:00 pm: I'm in the same boat, even down to owning a Nolan like Mick, N90 flip in my case - utter pap over 40mph. I've even padded it out with extra foam but it's still awful on the motorways. Not sure what I'll go for, thinking of going full face for a change as that should at least have a few less places for wind to get in and whistle around although I do like the convenience of the flip, guess if money was no object then I'd be wearing a Schuberth C3.

Heard/read good and bad things about pretty much every helmet I've considered, it's maddening. Shops should really let you try them out for a quick blast before purchase as everyone's different and different bikes cause different wind noises.

If I get a full face then I guess there's the Windjammer thing to try as a fall back if it's still bad on M/Ways.

Cheers,
Rob

+1 on the GT Air. Only another 50 quid.
