My fairing goes nose level, so buffering is not an issue.
I have both the ghost bandit and outlaw bandit, along with shoei x-14 and rf-1200. The ghost bandit is pretty slick looking, but on the noisy side.

Thanks for that. I ended up going with the rf-1200. It felt comfortable and reviews brag about the noise level.

If guys that race in AMA, MotoGP and WSBK wear it, then it's a good helmet.

Ended up with the RF-1200 Flagger.
Took it out on a ride today and loved it. Very quiet, lightweight and super comfortable. You can really feel the air flow when you open the vents but it won't push it.
Only thing I noticed is that the chin guard is almost flushed with my chin if I don't tilt it down almost touching my eyebrows. I guess they're designed to fit a little better when you lean over the tank on a crotch rocket.
My big nose does come in contact with the breath guard when adjusting it.
I had the Qwest before I tried a bunch of them in the past 4 weeks, I like this one the most by far.
I love the design. The red stripe and accents match the color on the bike and the stitches on the bags.
