Default 3/4 Helmet is noisey

I bought an HJC 3/4 helmet with air vents ... when the air vents are "open", the helmet is noisey (rattles) ... course when they are closed it gets HOT ... [sm=badbadbad.gif]

Can anyone recommend a good 3/4 with air vents that is quiet? [sm=confused06.gif]

thanks all!!

I bet its the windshield.

Now that I have a shield on, I have to keep the top vents closed on my full face, or get tons of noise.

Never have found a 3/4 helmet I liked. Good 1/2 helmet is what I use. You get ear wind noise but hell thats why I ride is wind in the face!

You get what you pay for. Check out Arai and Shoei. Both number one in quality and not cheap. If you have a $100.00 head, put a $100.00 helmet on it.

HJC is a good helmet. Some fit different on peolple and sometimes it has to do with the way the wind hits YOUR helmet on YOUR ride. Your helmet shouldn't be noisy no matter what it costs. my .02 cents.
