Sounds much better! Nice helmet! I think the chin curtain helps a lot!👍🏻

[@TheFranticNomad]

It definitely does! I do have a chin curtain on my AGV helmet but it’s not quite as tight fitting. Possible this is where the whistling sound is coming from but I’ve not been able to pinpoint it exactly. May take a ride without it and see if that’s the cause, although I’m doubtful. I’m wondering if maybe it’s caused by the visor itself. Air definitely comes in from somewhere. Vents open/closed doesn’t seem to make much of a difference.

Sounds better. Yea the chin curtain helps. I don't use my chin curtain at all though 😂 nice helmet, I even like the solid ones. On the sun visor, I only wear reading glasses and don't have any tinted glasses. The sun visor did the trick and I have 2 helmets. 1 with and one without.
Yea I got the 2 wheeler bug.... I doubt I'll have a motorcycle soon. Wife was like Helllll no! 😂
Great video!

[@TheFranticNomad]

I believe my wife will say something similar. Especially when what we really need is a second automobile, preferably a truck so I can haul the Vespa for service and things. Anyway it’s also fun just to look and ride a few bikes to see what you might get.

[@tinman7781]

I find mine unbearably noisy. I hate it.

[@TheFranticNomad]

Sorry to hear that. I guess YMMV. That has not been my experience. Maybe they’ve improved things along the way or I’m just comparing my experience with a helmet that was already pretty noisy. I know my K6 has a noticeable whistle sound depending on wind direction.
