I need to update my posting about the bell qualifier helmet I own.
I had posted that it was the noisiest helmet I ever owned and that I would not have purchased the helmet had I known about the noise issues.
I need to rescind this review. Due to the fact that I made an intereting discovery the other day.
I pulled all the liners and padding out of the helmet for cleaning and discovered that the foam around the left ear piece was broken. This is where I was experiencing the most
annoying wind noise. I had no idea! And I never even thought about pulling the liner and padding out of the helmet when I received it, in order to give it a good inspection.
So the wind noise I reported was not a design flaw. It was a manufacturer, distributer or shipping issue.
I now know just how thoroughly I need to inspect my next helmet.
My bad Bell.
I'll give you another shot on my next helmet purchase. Since I do like the weight, shape, fit and venting.
