I know you didn't ask me but I won't for several reasons.

First, none of them are Snell approved I've noticed. They tend to be heavier and over the years I've found raising the shield is good enough for me.

 

Shoei modulars... every new model gets better than the last. I'm currently getting close to the point where I'll need to replace my Multitec and am looking forward to the Neotec.

Having 1/2, 3/4, modular and full face helmets in the gear cabinet, I like the modulars for cooler weather since I can flip open the front to sneeze or do a farmer's blow to clear my sinuses. If it gets warm out you can ride with the helmet open to get some good airflow. They're also PinLock, anti-fog shield compatible and that's the ticket for keeping your visor fog free.

 

Shoei Quest....wind noise almost non-existent....

 

Have a Shoei Neotek and it is quiet. If you crack the clear face shield up the 1st click, some wind noise, but not bad. Nice area for helmet speakers too. Vents work too. Honda shop in Montgomery AL sold it for 20% off.

 

The most quiet helmets in the world are schuberth.

Email us at sales@akb.ie as we have some end of seasons specials on schuberths at the moment ( Only small amount left in stock )

 

The only reason that modular helmuts are not Snell approved is because they are hinged and will flip up and down. That does not comply to the definition that Snell has for a Full Face.

I recently purchased a Bell RS-1 and it is super quiet. I also added the photo-chromatic shield which makes the helmet downright excellent.

 

I cheated and did not read the thread. Ear Plugs!!!

 

when it gets cold up here i have one of those high dollar carbon fiber harley full face units, i gotta say it is the best one i've ever had on (had lots when i was a crotch rocket guy) only reason i have it is because it was so cheap. Daughter wears it more than me.
