Thanks for the tip .. I'll try a Shoei next time. I wish I fitted the Shoei head as their helmets are on special all the time, unlike Arai

I wear Schuberth S1 helmet. It's very quiet and sun shade is nice also.

Schuberth S1 = 81,6dB (100km/h), 88,1dB (130km/h)
Shoei XR 1000 = 99,0dB (100km/h), 105,2dB (130km/h)

See noise measurements from this pdf slide:
(there is a mistake, correct OKG FF4 numbers should be 95,8 and 102)

I wear an RX7-RR4 Corsair (Hayden wired black), had an Edwards RR4 before that. They have next to no padding (compared to a Quantum, RF700, and AGV that I've had) and are louder than hell. I mean it's not wind noise like some have said, it just has no insulation. Sounds probably 1db quieter than no helmet at all. Don't think I'm kidding. On the good side, it is super ventilated, I can feel the wind blowing through the hair on my head while riding.

My favorite for comfort and noise has been my $150 AGV, don't recall the model. Never liked either of my Shoei. The chin part of the helmet goes far enough away from me that I could drink a cup of coffee while wearing it. Other than that they were ok.

To do over, I'd probably get an AGV or Suomy. If nothing else because of Arai's policie$.

According to the test that was done the Z1R smoked everyone.

I have an Icon and love the looks of it but it's brand new and I have problems with the visor flipping up everytime I turn my head.

Since votes can't be changed, I add this and other fields to the user profile so it can always be kept up to date. All are optional (and some are private as noted), so fill in the ones you want. Go to your User CP -> Edit Profile screen. I'll work on a page to show graphs/stats for everyone's choices.
