First off thanks for the review .. I bought it due to what I read here!
Now my problem… I have crazy wind between my face and the visor it comes in from the bottom opening and its making my face hurt and my nose drop.
Any recommendations ?November 4, 2008 at 10:32 pm #14582BenParticipantMine came with this little insert u can put at the bottom of the helmet to help block some of the wind, does yours have that?

On these cold fall mornings in Michigan I find it invigorating, in the same way that ice fishing is invigorating. Once the weather turned cold I picked up a balaclava, and life got a lot better. It kills the heavy wind and keeps me warm in general. You might give the balaclava a try if the wind is bothering you to much. Mine stops most of the wind from coming under.

A baclava will keep me warm but i really would just like to reduce that wind!
I have a windshield but usually ride without it. How does not one else have that problem? maybe its my riding position? It is probably made for sports bikes.~phil

Also, try various head angles and seating positions. Depending on how I sit adn how I tilt my head it makes a huge difference on the amount fo wind coming up my helmet.
