Default A good full helmet for winter riding?

Things are finally starting to warm up here in MO, so I'm putting my Harley modular helmet back in the box for another year. I wear a half helmet probably 10 months out of the year, but I break out a full helmet when it's really friggin' cold out. The Harley modular helmet is the noisiest thing I have ever worn, probably the worst money I've ever spent on bike stuff. Who has a good modular or full helmet that they wear in the winter?

I got rid of my full face helmet, it was so damn loud! I ended going with a 3/4 helmet with a clear face shield. Luckily, I only wear it when it's super cold out.

I wear an Arai full face in the winter and Arai 3/4 in the summer. I like them both very much and would recommend them.

If you try them on locally for size and find one you like, - check the Helmet Store in Daytona Fl for price before you buy, they've got the best prices I could find, and call them for the absolute best.

I use a Shoei Neotec....its modular and I dont think its noisy at all. My last full face HJC was much much noisier.

I've got an HD 3/4 with a face shield that makes it feel as close to a full as I want that I only use for winter or exclusive superslab riding. Otherwise a 3/4 open face with a good pair of eye glasses or a decent dome rag if I'm not going high speeds.helmets make my pipes resonate and bug my ears after awhile. Not so much at highway speeds so it all works out.

I use a Shark Evoline 3 modular now. It is better with regard to noise than other modulars I have had in the past, but still noisier than I like. I think a 3/4 with a face shield is the way to go if noise is a concern.

I'm looking @ getting a Scuberth full face. They are 1 of the quietest helmets out and they have that near Bluetooth collar that attaches to the helmet.

Ditto.

Had the HJC modular for two years. Decent helmet, but noisy. They've also been making the Harley helmets for several years.

Just decided my head was worth it and bought a Shoei Neotech. It's much, MUCH quieter. Love it.

Two thumbs up.
