So last week the weather was nice, so I was able to commute on the bike for 4 days straight. The problem is that after the 3rd day or so, I started having a low-grade headache that lasted a few days which I fully believe is due to the wind noise I'm hearing in my helmet. Because the heat had been topping out close to 100 degrees I've been cracking the visor up an inch to get more airflow. This of course makes the wind noise go up drastically.
Has anyone else felt any ill effects from continued wind noise?
This week I tried riding with earplugs, and at first felt a bit disoriented, so I imagine it will just take time getting used to it.
I must admit my helmet ain't the best (Z1R Trance). Perhaps if I had a helmet with much better airflow I could keep the visor down to keep the wind noise down, then I wouldn't need ear plugs. My commute is only 20 minutes, so it's not like I'm being submitted to long periods of it.
Can anyone suggest another helmet that is relatively quiet but has awesome ventilation when fully closed?
