Looking for a less noisy helmet
Ladies and gents!!
I currently rock an HJC i10. Fits nicely. I know fit is most important. I'd like your input on what you wear and if it's quiet. I'm looking to upgrade to a newer, quieter helmet. I came off a Dyna with no fairing to a Street Glide and had less noise than I do now. The buffeting is annoying and seems generally more noisy.
Thanks in advance!

I am a few months in with the Shoei RJ Platinum R, it's a really nice helmet and feels great (very light for a 3/4 lid). It's of course much quieter than the 1/2 helmet I was wearing and I haven't head any buffeting issues up to 85mph with a 17.5" recurve shield.

Nolan N40 3/4 with face shield is my favourite very comfortable and soft shell covers the ears no empty holes.I also use skull cap worn by helicopter pilots for sweat and noise barrier by Gibson and Barnes.Helmet slides on real easy no need to stick your finger in to position your ears.

Who isn't??!! 😂🤣 I wear ear plugs with my HJC half helmet. I also have a full face HJC & it's quiet on the Ultra Classic & my Intruder (w windshield) but rode my SV1000S this morning & in that crotch rocket position & out in the open air it was very noisy. May try ear plugs on the way home.
