Check out the wind jammer; it's essentially what you've described and is available at a reasonable price.

I use this chin mount:

https://www.amazon.com/Motorcycle-Helmet-Chin-Mount-GoPro/dp/B074W2J774

They run sales on them for $10-$15 less, which is a fair price. Really easy to put on, have it on my X-Fourteen and my girlfriend's RF1200. Straighten the arms out so that the middle comes in full contact first, then press the arms against the sides. Nice secure fit, great POV.

TIL a helmet wiper system is a thing.

pricey.

Bro, you can even look like The fucking Master Chief

Speaking of rain gear, I would recommend a "Vee Wipe" like this

It's really very good at getting rain spatter off your visor in low speed city commuting, a necessity in the UK at least.

It's pricey for all that is it, but worth it imo.

Let's not forget wearing protective gear no matter what level you are. There's a feeling in the skateboard community that experts don't need to wear protective gear as much because it looks silly and restraints movement to freely ride. I'm no expert nor beginner but I've found that motorcycle gear looks cool and gives the best protection. I'm sporting Jeans with sas pads tactical sniper military gloves two different types of helmets full fac and head shell and a black hoodie with pads that make me look like total buff badass.

If this saves a life from injury it's totally worth it!

I use this chin mount. It’s been solid so far. MotoRadds Motorcycle Helmet Chin... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074W2J774?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

The opening around your neck is usually the most significant source of wind noise in a helmet. If your helmet has a removable chin curtain and you remove it, put it back in. If you don't have a neck curtain, before getting a new helmet you can try a Windjammer.

Modular helmets are often quieter specifically because the neck curtain on most of them can come in closer than helmets you have to pull over your head.

I also might try different ear plugs. The simple foam ones actually have the highest level of projection of anything out there when properly inserted. Custom molded ones aren't necessarily superior.

https://www.amazon.com/NECA-Master-Chief-Motorcycle-Helmet/dp/B00U7CPQIW

The MotoRadd's chinmount might fit...

Anyone know if the Bell Servo would work as a full face? It's this one

They also sell what appears to be a step up called the Sanction

I also take a motorcycle to work and throughout the day -- It's my only vehicle so I'm constantly taking my helmet on and off. It's been about a year, and I haven't had the problem you describe. What model of motorcycle helmet do you have? Mine is the kind where the entire face flips up, rather than just the visor (not sure if describing it well), so when I put the helmet on no part of it comes in contact with my face. (This is not the helmet I have, but it's a similar design.)

I used to wear CeraVe AM as my morning sunscreen, but recently switched to a physical sunscreen. I was somewhat concerned that the physical sunscreen would be more likely to rub off but so far no problems.

Overall, I'd recommend CeraVe AM as a good sunscreen, I think that the miracle suggestion you're looking for might be to look into different helmets that don't scrape against your face rather than a different sunscreen.

I have this cheap one from amazon. It is nothing special, but works okay (in WI): https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MXRU5TE/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have a Steelbird Air 2 arriving later this month: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Steelbird-Air-SBA-2-Full-Face-Helmet-Safe-Stylish-Regular-Size-Gray-ECs/254329435447?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160908105057%26meid%3D712052fdd42246aaa175b6c0d46c524e%26pid%3D100675%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D15%26sd%3D254329435447%26itm%3D254329435447%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2481888&_trksid=p2481888.c100675.m4236&_trkparms=pageci%3A7c06bbfe-ea2b-11e9-bb74-74dbd18080eb%7Cparentrq%3Aade9478c16d0ac7298e553b7fff03d47%7Ciid%3A1 (they all seem to ship from India and take like a month to arrive)

My self and a friend bought this below:
https://www.amazon.com/WINDJAMMER-REDUCES-Helmets-original-copied/dp/B003FHLNVK

Really helps in blocking wind noise, but keeps the main noises still there. I use the rev noises to clutch shift a lot as my bikes clutch cable isnt the best at the moment, so definitely really helps with this.

That's the one. $45 on amazon, I don't think I would trust that to keep my head in one piece. Or even three pieces. It got good reviews though, so what do I know.

You could always get this for the low price of $549 + tax! Only one left in stock, order now!!! /s

EDIT: Whoops. The helmet is not Prime...

This spatula is!. I'm getting an apartment next year that has a kitchen! I'd love to cook for my roomates as a poor college student!

----

I need this helmet!

My friend I go performance driving a ton in the mountains. Recently, we hit the side of the mountain and almost flipped the car over. We're okay, only cosmetic damage, but it really put everything into perspective.

Right now, he has that same helmet (in medium...I have a large head) and he's planning on purchasing 4-point seatbelts. I know for a fact that we cannot skimp on safety!

Unfortunately, racing helmets are too expensive, but these type of helmets will suffice.

Thanks for the info! My girlfriend bought me this last night on Amazon. I got plenty more to buy too but the helm is a good start 😃

The problem with used helmets is that the foam can become compressed without obvious visible damage to the shell, and once the foam is compressed it won't protect you in a crash. At my motorcycle safety class they said that they replace any helmet that has been dropped and suggested we do the same. It's just not worth risking your life over.

You can get a good quality fullface motorcycle helmet for ~$100. For example, this Bell Qualifier helmet for $109 on Amazon is what I use: https://smile.amazon.com/Bell-Qualifier-Full-Face-Motorcycle-7049224/dp/B00HLUWN34/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=bell+motorcycle+helmet&qid=1557894214&s=gateway&sprefix=bell+mot&sr=8-3

OP, here's the budget gloves I use also, Joe Rocket Eclipse for $18: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01NABSLI6?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

I bought that thing too back in the day too. It always looked cool, but I never really put it on display (I was in my 20's when that game came out and putting out things like model figurines or game stuff like that on display would have been too nerdy and kiddish for the girls I brought over). Instantly fucks up your game and makes girls think less of you.

Now a days it just doesn't fit the decor. Thing is still cool though. Always regretted never putting that thing out the entire time I had it. It just sits in the box.

On a side note you know they made a full blown wearable motorcycle helmet of the spartan helmet?

Here https://www.amazon.com/NECA-Master-Chief-Motorcycle-Helmet/dp/B00U7CPQIW

This mount works great on my Bell Qualifier.

MotoRadds Motorcycle Helmet Chin Mount for GoPro https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074W2J774/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_dID7CbM8XPS8S

Ive seen something like that but it had one issue, the straps go where the lid closes so your not able to get a proper seal with that mount. This would be the next best thing as it resolves that issue but it uses a sticky mount- https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074W2J774/ref=nav_timeline_asin?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Get one of these for your helmet: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003FHLNVK/

That plus earplugs might be enough. Possibly more effective than a new helmet, certainly cheaper, and if you like the helmet you already have...

I've heard some good things about Windjammers or similar helmet skirts. I have yet to try one though. Personally, I get a lot of wind noise from right behind my jaw, so I get the sense that something like this would cut a lot of it out.

Unfortunately I have to remove this, but since I was in a similar position earlier this year with my RPHA-11, Ill give you the answer:

Amazon Link

It's a bit pricey, and it's not the prettiest thing in the world, but it's probably the most solid mount you can buy for a chin setup.

the footage is dope too

Seems expensive compared to these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01L0RQO1A/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=I24JNDFOW9OQC2&colid=3C4HSD6A0N1GJ

Holy crap, matte black is sick! Thanks for the link. Is there any way to remove the green lining though? I'd like it in all black like in one of the customer pics. Also, I found this motorcycle/street bike helmet off amazon, but I read that motorcycle helmets are usually not preferred for eboarding. Any idea why? https://www.amazon.com/ILM-Motorcycle-Street-Helmet-Removable/dp/B01HEHOCAK

> What does a bike helmet need any batteries for? If nothing else, I'd be worried about the need to replace it after a crash; it's problematic enough to dispose of a bike helmet properly without adding in a bunch of heavy metals and electronics.

It has a very nice communication system in it, but the company used proprietary non-replaceable batteries (NRB's) to guarantee it will fail on a predetermined schedule, and require total replacement. Here it is on Amazon:

• AmazonSmile: Sena R1 Smart Cycling Helmet (Onyx Black, Large): Automotive

I got these. They are thin, and sound pretty good. Built for helmets. I wrap up the cord and tuck it in the back of my helmet when I'm not using them. Don't even notice it. I've recommended these to a few of my friends, and they are not disappointed either.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004FK8RKG/ref=oh_o03_s00_i00_details

There are smaller cameras than the GoPro. I also found this guy when I was searching amazon but haven’t bought it. Though I want to it’s just more expensive than I think it’s worth and I’m to lazy to cad it myself to 3d print.

There you go. yes its cheap in comparison to real high end motorcycle helmets but its a darn good helmet. I think it looks cooler being full faced anyways. And yes "4lbs is heavy for a helmet" people say but unless your neck is a twig its fine i promise. its the only style helmet i wear.

HJC CL-17. I think I broke the mouth vent open somehow, I'm gonna try to fiddle with it without compromising the structure to see if I can get it to close. It's also my track day helmet for my BRZ, since some events require Snell rating.

Great choice! I have a RF-1200. Moto Rad chin mount works great with a gopro. I've heard great things about the Sena camera/speaker set up too.

You can try a wind jammer like this:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003FHLNVK/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I put it on and just leave it. Makes putting the lid on a bit of a squeeze but nothing major.

Anyone use one of these? http://www.amazon.com/WINDJAMMER-REDUCES-Helmets-original-copied/dp/B003FHLNVK

You didn't have to go through all that with the headphones. I got these a few years ago and it was only $25 and very slim.
EDIT: For maximum awesomeness, if your an Android user, buy an app called eCID and it will read out anything you want to you while you ride (SMS, Gmail, Calendar, etc). Very very handy. It will pause the music, read out your message, and resume music.

The sunblocker does an amazingly great job of reducing glare (which is the real issue with droplets sitting on your visor). Rain-X/wax helps too, but requires reapplication (and IMHO makes glare worse).

I went with an IV2 Helmet from Amazon. I'm guessing that the same chinese manufacturers supply Cyclegear with helmets that get the Bilt logo and a price hike.

I went with this one.

It's really pretty quality. Its got removable everything, and the joint that locks the chin bar down is a metal connector. There isnt any obnoxious wind noise that has bothered me either. Seals up really good. It's a bit heavy, but most modular helmets are from what I've heard. Comfortable inside, and less than 60 bucks before shipping.

Cyclegear sells the exact same helmet with a Bilt logo for around 70, which is cheap as shit if you pick it up in the store.

I'd go try it on, but I love mine. I even bought some cheap headphones on amazon and added them into the little ear pockets and wrapped the cord up under the padding so I can jam to tunes on my phone while commuting. I'd buy another if anything happened to it.

$650 on amazon

I use a vee wipe with rain x, I have a bit of rain x in a make up spritz bottle because I'm a fancy lad and it's portable. I often ride at night in the rain couple of times in cthulu inspired fog. For the fog maybe look into auxiliary lights the projector type that go round the forks. Biggest issue is oncoming lights being defused if their high beams are on.

Looks like the Bell Servo

But I got mine from Academy for $60

[Here's the link] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0776PRDPM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_IMIdBbA0PR0AA)

It's just a graphic, I needed a helmet quickly for my MSF course and this one had pretty good reviews and was pretty cheap, I know I shouldn't go cheap on a helmet I plan on upgrading soon.

However it is pretty nice, surprisingly not much wind and the airflow is pretty good, fits well too without being very top heavy. I just did a 160 mile highway trip two ways over the weekend and it felt great.

I have this one and been happy with it..
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GIYZ45M/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Thing is if you have a hard impact to any helmet your suppose to trash it and get a new one. Thus I cant see myself buying a $300 to $400 full face helmet. And then maybe having to buy another one at some point..

I have a clear pin lock installed on mine right now and rather avoid exchanging them every time the light changes . Found this thing, ever used it?

> Gotcha. I got confused by the $0.01 thing.

Before I took real fuel prices I was saying premium cost about 1 penny more per mile than regular. It's actually 1.3cents per mile with real fuel prices. The point being saying 15% makes it look deceptively bad just like saying 1.3 cents a mile makes it look deceptively good.

People use plays on wording like that to make disingenuous points.

>I actually do care about things like this as the same attitude of letting 'small' things like this slide causes other things to do so.

You can fuck right off with the slippery slope argument. Again, we're talking about extremely minor operational costs in cost in return for getting something you truly wanted. That says absolutely nothing about your character and what you will and will not let slide.

>Doubling back a bit, you don't consider losing access to a liquid $2-3k extra a big deal assuming you get full price back flipping the hypothetical 5k bike but I consider that something worth considering.

Not if it's something I want. Fuel savings on a motorcycle vs an average car is going to save more money than 2k would make on interest so there is literally no downside. Is it as cost effective as a 300? No. But that doesn't mean it's hurting me at all to do it this way and it's something I quite enjoy much more than I would a 300.

Tell me, how much did your riding gear cost you? I'm willing to bet that you didn't spend just 59.99

It's DOT certified so why did you (likely) spend as much as 5x more than you need to.

See how flimsy that argument is? Bare minimum is not always the option you want to go with.

I use this: https://www.amazon.com/The-Original-Helmet-Sunblocker/dp/B00BSCFETQ

Can I get some recommendations for gopro chin mounts?

get a chin curtain insert for the bottom of the helmet. It helps to cut wind noise. It's cheaper than anything else and you can try it without changing your earbuds (for now)

https://www.amazon.com/Hjc-Helmets-Csr1-Chin-Curtain/dp/B001DELLJQ

or

You get used to glancing in your mirror to see what the rider behind is doing. Most of us run a 3" bar end mirror on the left bar. It's not perfect, but you can still tell what bike is behind you and if they are on line or not.

But actually, the instructor in front who signaled was wearing one of these: Reevu MSX1 Rear-View Motorcycle Helmet . I haven't tried it on track, just in the paddock, but he says it works really well.

You can also get these.

https://www.amazon.com/UVIA-Motorcyle-Supermotard-Snowboard-Schubeth/dp/B00PBCTJP4

Proper fit would be the most important thing to focus on. Get a Snell/ECE Full face (or modular) to minimize noise and maximize protection.

I would be worried about long term hearing damage from the extended exposure to wind noise. I never ride without earplugs, either some custom fit plugs I got at a gun show, or from a [box of disposeables](https://www.amazon.com/Howard-Leight-Honeywell-Disposable-MAX-1/dp/B0013A0C0Y/ "A box will last you for years"). You may also want to look into a Windjammer to further reduce wind noise.

To help with visual acuity, consider getting multiple visors and a helmet where changing visors is easy. It's simple enough to try visor removal and replacement in-store to weed out the bad ones. Think dark smoke when it's sunny, yellow for glare, and pinlock-equipped for when it's foggy. You don't really want to mess with goggles for the highway.

I'd stay away from brimmed dual-sport style helmets, the brim can act as a sail and cause discomfort at high speeds.

Consider adding a Bluetooth intercom system if you want to listen to podcasts, navigation prompts, or other entertainment during your long trips. Higher end helmets can be fit with nice, integrated systems.

For color choice, statistically, wearing a white or hi-vis colored helmet will tend to reduce SMIDSYs.

I use these - they work great and can be taken out and switched from helmet to helmet. Sound quality isn't too bad either.

Looks like you got a good deal

I recently got an Amazon helmet for 70 and I honestly love the thing, its modular and flip up so it works for my glasses, sleek design, comfortable, and way less noisy than my last one, plus the chin strap is one of those nice snug ratchet ones. It even has a fold down sunshade Here it is
