One day they will figure out prescription visors for those that wear glasses. Tried one my optometrist got me to try and the distortion in the curve of the visor was bad.
One challenge I see with that is all the different helmet models using unique shield designs. For sure if they could sort that out it would be a game changer for people who need glasses. - Van
hi, I have a question, is there a way to make it a little more quiet especially in higher speeds? I have the chin curtain, it fits very well, I ride wiht my visor always down and tried closing the vents, but the nois is still pretty loud from the wind. I don't want ear plugs because I know it could get uncomfortable when doing longer distances. So, its there a way? or it's hust how it is with this helmet
I bought one and the helmet is great with one exception, if you install an intercom and open the top vent, the air flow makes such a weird noise and loud enough to impede your conversation. I have to ride mine with top vent closed even when not using the intercom because the noise is annoying. None of my other helmet do the same. I advise you to ride at speed limit and open the top vent before buying to see if you can stand it.
Sorry to hear your experience is not great. If a helmet fits too loose it will be far more noisy than it is designed to be. Very important it seals tight around the neck and jaw. - Van
@ agreed. Mine is tight fitting though, and I’ve made it tighter still by adding a larger set of cheek pads. That made a positive difference, but still nowhere near good enough. It’s a very noisy helmet. It’s reported as an average 102db, but I think the reality is that it’s much louder.
@ anything above 30kph and it starts to get noisy. At 80kph+ it is like sticking your head out of a car window. Spend more and get something known as being quiet - Shoei are usually very good in that respect. I’ve wasted my money. Don’t waste yours.

No just wear ear plugs, hearing is more important than comfort. Your hearing is something you only get once.
I cant figure out why I should pay double for the rpha 71. Can you help me out?
What Alpinestar suit is in your intro video?
That is the Alpinestars GP Tech V3 Max raced in during the 2020 and 2021 season. - Van

Thanks for sharing your feedback. - Van
How fast do you usually go and experience the noise? I usually go about 60-75 kmph or 37-46 mphs. I want to know if this helmet would suits me or not.
Hi Poppy
Hola
SUCH a noisy helmet. I’ve changed cheek pads, use the chin curtain, but it is deafening.
