Quiet helmets
when I ride my bike with the stereo... I notice I can hear the stereo better when i'm wearing plugs... with or without the helmet... acoustics are strange things to understand...

Quiet Helmets
By the way you other Cheeseheads, this Saturday is the annual Jack Frost ride, here in Green Bay. www.vvhd.com for more details.

I believe I saw somewhere that the Shoei Quest was one of the quietest helmets around.

I also have the Shoei RF-1000. My first full face. I got it for just cold/rainy weather and wear it almost all the time. On our trip out west a couple of weeks ago I was riding an EG with a radio. The music sounded like it was inside the helmet, I loved it!
Anyhow, I find the Shoei to be very quiet. I did take me a week or two to get used to it over my 1/2 helmet. It's definitely quieter, but it has a different sound. Not bad, just different.

I have the Qwest for riding in the rain (I wear an Outlaw half helmet most of the time). Definitely the quietest full face helmet I have had (have owned the Shoei x11, a couple different Scorpion helmets and one Icon).
