In the past I have used AGV which were ok.
A Caberg flip lid which was the noisiest helmet I've ever had - after one 400 mile trip I wanted to chuck it away but the bike shop in Penzance didn't have anything better so I had to ride home wearing the flipping thing, wish I'd had earplugs on that day. It was replaced with Shoei full face lid and what a difference!
I bought a cheap helmet at a bike show (can't remember the make), the wind noise was bad enough but there was also a high pitched whistling noise which drove me nuts. I took a sledge hammer to it. It took several attempts to do any serious damage to it.
So what would you say was the quietest the AVG or Shoei? The trouble is you can only try a skid lip for size and comfort other choices are FF or flip and colour, they would not be open to you squirting off down the road with one on to try it out.
no one wants to spend 400 or more to then find out it a wind tunnel
