Shoei helmets. Do you have any of these and what are your thoughts about them? GT-Air RF-1200 RF-SR My HJC FG-17 is killing me. The NOISE! (Also, it used to kill my forehead, so I'm thinking the shape isn't a perfect match.) I know wind noise is a complex interaction of turbulence, position, bike structure...but I'm wondering if a more expensive helmet may help /enough/ to keep me riding. I do wear foam ear plugs, but my ears are ringing just sitting here. The noise comes from the base of the helmet, maybe more towards the back. I like to be leaned forward a little, rarely tuck, never fully upright. And I plan to move to NC, so heat might be a factor, but noise is a deal breaker. I've tried a Windjammer II which just doesn't work for me. Wearing a neck gaiter does help, but it's summer! As it is now, I can only imagine short rides and/or not exceeding 50mph. This is no way to live!

From Shoei's latest release of new graphics comes the "Cog" graphic on the popular GT-Air model. A cog is simply another name for a gear which is the prevalent theme throughout this helmet. On the right side we have various cogwheels and reducer gears connected to an antiqued rod and piston. On the left side the cogs are connected to a smashed and exposed tachometer. All the cog elements have a metallic property to them and the flake really comes out in the light. Overall, this is one of the more visually intriguing helmets out of the Shoei factory as of late.
