Default Most quiet FF helmet?
I always wear a full face helmet. Currently I have an Icon Airframe. The Icon helmet I had prior to this one was very quiet as far as keeping out wind noise. The Airframe is very comfortable but the wind noise is deafening and I need to wear earplugs for riding any distance.

I'm thinking maybe a Shoei next? I don't care about graphics, just flat black, an I don't want a modular helmet, only full face.

Are there any helmets out there that are quiet on the inside and still boast a Snell rating?

Thanks for your input.

The problem you run in to is that quiet helmets in general don't vent well...I have an Arai and it is quiet but is not the quietest out there. It vens incredibly well though...

Revzilla looks like a cool site and I'll spend a bit moe time looking around. Thank you very much for the info.

That is a good point. For long trips I'd still wear earplugs, but I ride 50 miles to work one way and its a hassle to wear them every day. Hurts my ears.

I like my FXRB helmet, quietest helmet I have ever had, but I know there are even better ones out there.
