guys, newbiw question, but at what speed is a helmet consider noisy? I mean like for a full face helmet, at what speed do you really notice there's wind noise?
I've just got a B full license, looking to buy a 2nd hand bike
Only got open face helmet for the exam and riding speed in the school is less than 40km.. Can't really hear any significant wind noise comparing to a riding a bicycle cuz the speed is so slow

long term slight wind noise will still damage hearing right? Like your HJC IS17, slight wind noise, but over a long period will it still damage hearing?
and how often do you guys here wear earplugs?

I'm thinking of maybe wearing earphones when I ride.
since it's always connected to bluetooth, can listen to songs/navigation.. also quite sound proof so kinda works the same as an earplug i guess? Not say fully block everything out but then like you said, if too quiet, it seems very weird

something to experiment on for this idea I guess..
I don't think the earphones will crush earphones unless it's a really tight fit and the impact is very strong.
Otherwise might just work..

Does the Cardo Spirit able to join in into other Cardo units?
Also, with earplugs in, won't it block off the sound coming from the speakers of the Cardo Spirit?
Sorry might be newbie question but 0 experience on this so yeah

yeah, earphones as in earbuds.. correction on my part.
Samsung buds, they literally block out noise too when just placed in the ear without playing any audio.
but thanks for the tip.. Will lock into those earplugs that you've mentioned

yeah alrighty.. For sure will be taking some time to get used to riding without any distraction first (music, earplugs, etc)
gonna be aware of surrounding while riding until I'm comfortable enough to be riding with those in my ears.
What do you guys think of KYT TT Course helmet? Anybody here have tried it? Quiet enough? Considering a entry level helmet and low speed riding (max speed 120km/h maybe?)
Or any good entry level helmet to recommend? Max budget RM 650 - 700

Motoworld nearby sunway pyramid? Thought they only sell Scorpion helmets?

technically there's no issue with buying an old helmet right? Is there a recommend shelf life? or is it similar to a tyre that you wouldn't wanna buy when its been manufactured and stored for a long time?

Hey guys, same question to this one..
I'm gonna go buy my first fullface helmet once my balaclava arrive from shopee.. cuz usually shops need you to wear one before allow testing
Anyway, currently im looking at 2 brands for first fullface helmet

HJC CS15 (RM450++) - seems like more suitable for round head?
KYT TT Course (RM450++) - apparently more spectacles friendly, unsure about the head shape. All they mention is just 'Asian Fit'

Also, I think TT Course uses micrometric buckle/strap, but I see shops sell Double D rings as well? Kinda confused on this
As for HJC I think it is Double D rings but its like a 5-6 year old design already. Not sure how old are the existing stocks in the market. I see some shops are running very low on stocks and only available for the bigger sizes ( L / XL)

how effective are the vents actually? and what's the speed needed for it to be effective?
My Zeus helmet also have vents but i feel like their fake :/

both at a similar price range, but wondering have any of you guys tried these helmets before?
I have a round head shape, even wanna buy specs can be quite a hassle for me due to my wide head
Currently using a Zeus helmet, forgot the model, but its in XL size (used for riding lesson and test - currently riding nearby while familiarizing with my bike - z250)

Any of you wear specs and wear a full face + balaclava?
Just got my parcel ystd, the balaclava was.. quite tight and difficult to wear with specs..
perhaps need to start looking into contact lens

a buff is like a skull cap right? just covering the hair until the forehead? maybe I could have gotten one of that together with my parcel
oh well.. i need time to get used to everything..
the clip adapter actually looks ... scary :/

oooh.. I think I have one of this lying around somewhere. but its quite thick though.. need to learn how to tie it like them in the video
