Did you hear that???

[Naggedalot]

Anyone got recommendations for a helmet that doesnt let in over 100 decibels into my head?
Am currentley wearing a cheapo Caberg Trip.

Sorry, not sure on specifics for helmets, but ear-plugs are well worth a look.
I got a set of custom-fit ones for abour £65 I think - incidentally on my Caberg Justissmo I had to take out a couple of ear-pads to make it comfortable.

Are you actualy complaining about the loudness of your own silencer?

+ 1 for earplugs. Why would you not.

Anyone that says they block out noise so you are less aware of stuff on the road has never used them. I've never had problems hearing police cars, car horns, even people shouting with them in. They block out the harmful noise, not all noise.

I know what ur sayin about earplugs. But they are so damned irritating and uncomfortable. I wanna know if there are any quiet lids out there that can stop the wind noise when ur doing about 90 down the motorways.

Bazza..for ur info it wasnt J Clarkson..it was Simon Cowell on Top Gear that said, “I don’t understand bus lanes. Why do poor people have to get to places quicker than I do?”

It was very irritating and uncomfortable wearing even my custom-made ones with my Caberg until I took the two bits of foam out (they are around the chin strap where it goes into the helmet and are obviously designed to be removed – I presume they provide a little sound-reduction themselves).
At 90mph, especially if you’re not ducked down behind a double-bubble, then you’re going to get wind-noise regardless of what helmet you’ve got.
You can get selection packs for ear-plugs so you can try out different ones and find which is the most comfortable for you, but even the custom-made option would be cheaper than buying a new helmet!

Quietest helmets out there (according to the manufacturers ) are Schuberth ones.

If you want to try one I suggest you have a fat wallet, they aren't cheap.

It's always annoyed me that helmets are expensive and there's no chance to try before you buy. I wouldn't buy a bike or car without trying it. I wouldn't buy a bike jacket/trousers/etc without seeing if they fit. It just doesn't seem right.

Ear plugs are so much better. First few rides with them in was strange but now even if I'm only popping to the shops and not doing over 30 I will put them in. I can still talk to my mate when I stop. Only bad thing is in petrol stations if they speak quietly.

Custom made ear-plugs, enough said...
