Those issues of "Motorcyclist" that Larry Tepper mentioned don't
really tell you much about wind noise. They just sort of casually
mentioned something like "the Mother_Jones Skid_Lid TM was among
the quieter helmets we tested," or "the Bugs_Bunny Bwain Bwucket
was atrocious at any speeds above 40 mph," etc. Most helmets
tested did not evoke any comments at all, negative or otherwise.

I myself find wind noise at highway speeds on any trip more than
a couple of hours quite bothersome. Ear plugs help, but only if
I remember to wear them. A big barndoor would help I suppose,
but I would much prefer the looks of my Rickman Centura, thank
you!

My Bell Star is a lot better than the Nava I had before that,
but I still want more (or less as the case may be.) I have
heard that the Arai Astros are pretty quiet. Anybody out there
care to comment?
