All models?

thank you all for your suggestions and I have visited all the websites that you have recommended. But I am still thinking about the products that it offers. Meanwhile, I browse the web and find this ***. What do you think? This will be included in the websites to shop.

A few years ago, right out of college, I did not have hardly any money. I bought a cheaper DOT/Snell helmet. That f*cker was so loud from the wind at highway speeds it permanently damaged my hearing. After a year and a half, I finally manned up and started looking at proper helmets. I wound up buying an Arai. It wasn't cheap, but it fit better than I ever imagined a helmet to fit. I tried on virtually every make of helmet before making this decision.
I was not able to take it out for a test ride unfortunately, so I did my window noise/ventilation research online. I can't remember the website now, but I'll follow up tomorrow.
The Arai that fits me perfectly may not fit you. The Bell might not fit you. The Shoei/AGV/Scorpion/etc may not fit you. The only, repeat, only way to know for sure is to try them on.

regretfully, damage to hearing is cumulative, so every time you are exposed you damage your hearing a bit more and hearing deosn't heal itself with time.
always, always, always use ear plugs. I do so even for relatively short rides....unless you think that bad hearing is sexy somehow.

motorcyclegear.com is another great place to check, they have a decent clearance section where I usually buy my gear.

Great advice. You can buy online but wear it in store first. Not all brands fit the same, not even all models within a brand fit the same. An ill fitting helmet saps the fun out of a ride ad can be dangerously distracting if it hurts too much.
Go green, buy a Kawasaki!
