#10I'm happy with the SCHUBERTH S1 PRO. Light, safe and silent but not cheap.

#11If an Arai fits you try an AGV stealth or so, both fits me maybe they do the same for you. I have and AGV and the vents work ok but probably the Shoei is better and would be my choice if I buy a new one.
Follow the advice and try them all on as the fit is so different.
If you worried about wind noise put earplugs in like I do on longer trips.

#13You could try this website as it offers very good advice on the various internal shapes manufacturers offer + impartial reviews. It's American, but many of their reviews are on EU available helmets.

Fit is critical so try on as many as you can - there are as many different shapes & sizes as there are heads. It could be an expensive mistake, so take your time

#18Also happy with my Shark RSI, easily the best fitting helmet I have had, quiet, light and really easy to change the visor on .
Plus it has pretty flowers on it
AGV must have a funny shape (or maybe my head) but it feels like hthe bottom half of my head hangs out of it.

#19Just Bought a Shoei XR1100, happy with fit and vision but not in the wind noise.

#20The first helmet I bought was an Arai corsair, side pods kept breaking but hoped a new Arai RX7 would be better after 5 years of ownership of my last, nope side pod still fell off with in a year .
Visor changes are best avoided with it, I like the fact I know if I crash it is one of the best but dont think I will buy another Arai.

#26AS for me, I can guarantee a Shoei large will ALWAYS fit me perfectly. And the RF line never fails to impress. I got my latest (An RF-1000) 3 yrs ago, from Competition Accessories for $299.

#30I lashed out the extra for the AGV GP-Tech as it was the lightest, most comfy helmet I tried. It's hot here and I needed a great vent system and I've been impressed with this one. Quality.

#34Met up with somebody yesterday that has a Bell M5X carbon! Amazing finish on the helmet and light as f*#&. Unfortunately was a medium and was small for my usually large head so i dont know if the fit will be good.
Of the vents only the one at the mouth closes; makes me think it could be noisy up top...
But have u seen what a piece of work it is?? https://www.roadbikebitz.com/images/pro ... Helmet.JPG

I would buy another one if they were legal here. But alas and they dont plan on selling them here.
