I completely agree with this. One helmet can be the quietest thing since silence to one person, but really noisy to another. Helmets all very personal and individual, which is why I think you always need to try one on before you buy.

What's the latest after a bit of use then TD, I'm after a new lid.

Possibly an unfair appraisal but as I no longer do [or can achieve] speeds above the national speed limits[68mph max] since selling the Triumph. I am no longer finding the need for earplugs. Perhaps because I have no wind deflection from a screen now but the BMW[Schuberth] is one of the quietest lids I have had. Regarding comfort, it is taking a bit of time to break in but definitely a lot better than when it was new, about 80% at the moment but it is either changing the shape of my head or getting softer. For £300 I am pleased and some dealers have them even cheaper but as I want to try for size before I buy I bought it from my local BMW dealer rather than send for one from the internet therefore cost a few quid more.[£10-20]
Snug fitting,easy to undo the chin strap,anti-mist pinlock standard, removable linings for washing, easy action sun visor and should you want it they also do a blue-tooth kit for this helmet.

Thanks. Just wanted to check it is worth the time and effort to go to the nearest BMW dealer in Sunderland.

regarding the head shape and size..mine still has a snug fit and needed some minor arrangement of pads. I think its comes up small for the listed size ( more pressure on the forehead) . I have a bmw sport which fitted like a glove in the same size so certainly a slight change in the fitting shape. Visor ratchet mechanism is a bit clonky and doesnt stay firm when on the move. I still like it but take the compromise for a flip lid in yellow
