I got the same HD Modular by KBC, except mine is called the "Durango". Probably the same thing except for the paint job.

I find that when I get to 55mph and up, I snap down the front. If I'm on a lower speed road without any traffic to kick up rocks and sh.. and not too many bugs, I snap it open and get the wind in the face. Of course I have on my "goggles" to keep my eyes from getting tagged...

It's kinda like having a 3/4 and a full face that you can change back and forth in a snap.

Mine is kinda loud with the wind, so I ear plug up. If I don't, I get a nasty roar that stays in my ears for a long time after the ride.

I have the Stealth also...and I love it. Very comfortable. I don't have problems with my head itching either like I have with other helmets. It does fog up easily when it is humid.

When it coems to full face helmets I go all out as I find comfort is the most important thing. I wear Arai's. I ahve had Shoei's as well and they were a little quieter but not as light or aerodynamic. It is always worht the extra money for a helmet especially when you find one that fits well and is comfy at speed...

I have an Arai Vector and its worth every penny. Great fit and ventilation, and it has a reputation of being one of the safest helmets around. Its quiet and theres no buffeting even at speeds of 90+ mph. I wear varifocals and have no problem wearing them with the helmet.

I have the new 07 Shoei RJ Platinum 3/4 helmet - really nice - cut the wind buffeting down by 20% from last years Shoei
