Is anyone using this helmet? Is it quiet?
I've been running an HJC CL-14 for more years than is advised.... mama decided it's time for a new lid. Having an XXL long oval head shape makes it a beyotch to find helmets that fit. The CL was bought when I needed a helmet and was not able to spend a lot on it. It's a noisy helmet. I wear earplugs at speed, because of the rumbling and popping. I thought this was because of the pockets for the speakers.
The RF1100 seems to have the same size pockets around the ears. It does have a chin curtain, and much better seals on the windscreen, etc. The shape of the shell, the integrated spoiler, the smoothness of the vent covers attached to the shell should all make for a quieter helmet comparatively.
I have a very small window to send the helmet back, and try out a SignetQ, or keep the RF1100. I don't want to take the stickers off the windscreen to try the thing out at speed, if I end up sending the thing back.
Any help would be appreciated.
