WINDJAMMER 2 "REDUCES WIND NOISE" fits all Full Face Helmets. The original often copied ! (P&P 99p Worldwide) by Proline

18-Month UpdateStill have the same Windjammer 2 on my helmet although I am beginning to see signs of slight fraying in the material around the material edge at the jaw (perhaps stubble a few days after each shaves is beginning to get to it?). Can't even remember what a loud ride with wind noise was like, except that I recall my ears would hurt for some time.Original PostSo I received and after the super easy task of putting this this my helmet, trying it on, then loosening it a bit so its not pulled so taught (which pulls it away from the neck) I thought to myself... 'its 8pm and a little below 32 degrees but I just have to find out well this thing cuts down on noise'. So, after donning my cold weather riding suit I head for the interstate, but not before a ride around town. The ride over though I have to say "This thing is WONDERFUL!"This thing really works! While it will keep you warmer in cool weather (a pro), the con of actually being hotter in the summer is a reasonable cost considering the very real hearing damage which will surely be done without it. While it isn't a replacement for ear plugs at extreme speed (75mph) I would feel confident going without earplugs for extended periods of time when driving anywhere from 0-74mph.Real Data: As an human and environmental health graduate student I am well aware of the value of hearing protection. Were you to ride your motorcycle for a living, federal OSHA permissible exposure limits (PEL) limits 8hr exposure sound limit to 90db and only 2hr @ 100db (average). Unfortunately, these regulations are a careful mix of employee health statistical expectations and employer cost feasibility and The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) "found that significant noise-induced hearing loss occurs at the exposure levels equivalent to the OSHA PEL." NIOSH published recommended exposure levels without concern of employer costs for adequate employee protection (feasibility) based solely on health risk data. NIOSH limits are: 8hr @ 85db and 15min @ 100db.In a 2004 study by the Charted Institude of Environmental Health (UK), it was noted that all tested helmets (open face plus visor open and closed both with/without neck seal) within the study generated greater than 85db at speeds lower than 30mph (50kph). Interestingly, the data also suggest that neck seals increase the allowable speed prior to exceeding the 100db recommended limit from 65mph to more than 75+mph (the db/speed graph [fig 1.0] didn't quite go high enough to make a definitive (~77mph?) observation).Using this AND earplugs?... would probably make my ears ring from the resultant deafening sound of utter silence, lol.Food for thought... if you get this thing only then to turn around and blast music from your MP3 players directly into your ear I fail to see how your actually reducing your risk for hearing damage... Luckily, this thing makes wind-noise quite enough that don't have to do so, so turn the volume down a little.Drive safe!

I saw the Windjammer in an online motorcycle magazine review. They said it was worth the money. I agree 100%. I wish I could rate it 4.5 stars, but it's worthy of 5 stars since that's the option. I waited until I have used it for several months before rating so I could give an honest review.I do not use a windshield, so I catch all of the wind with the face of my helmet. By using my hand to block wind entry to the bottom of my helmet, I found that most of the wind noise was from wind intrusion through the bottom of my helmet. The Windjammer does a VERY good job of mitigating this situation. I know the Windjammer is doing its job because I can now hear the wind whistling through the vents and on the outside of my helmet. I didn't even know that noise was there, so I know the Windjammer is helping. I still wear ear plugs because the high-frequency wind whistling around the outside of the helmet. With the Windjammer, I can hear my exhaust even on the highway; previously I couldn't.The Windjammer wasn't particularly EASY to get stretched around the bottom of my helmet, but it wasn't impossible. It was handy to have my son hold the helmet steady for me as I stretched the Windjammer around the bottom of the helmet.Getting my head pushed through the Windjammer/helmet opening is weird at first. I'm used to it and don't think twice about it, now. Also, I don't have particularly big ears, but the Windjammer does grab my ears as I pull the helmet over my head. It's not horrible, but it is weird.When the humidity is high or if the ambient temperature is particularly cold, my helmet visor fogs quickly every time I stop with the Windjammer. It happens quickly, so I simply crack my visor and the problem mostly goes away. I keep the visor cracked as long as I'm in town and then latch it shut as soon as I hit the highway.I've read others' opinions that they will remove the Windjammer when the temperature gets too high. I think I will leave mine on. It does seem to make the helmet somewhat warmer, but I think it's negligible on the highway (I do use my other helmet when I'm riding in-town, though).FYI, the Windjammer is shipped from England. Mine arrived withing a couple weeks, but don't be surprised if it takes much longer.Again, I'm very happy with my Windjammer and I would certainly purchase it again. It DOES NOT get rid of all motorcycle-riding noise, but it does help A LOT with wind/helmet noise.

I haven't gotten a chance to ride with it yet, but I am disappointed that they didn't include a stitched hole for the helmet mounted audio systems that quite a few people have. I cut a hole in mine and then put another piece of velcro over the legs and pulled the cover up to it. Hopefully it'll hold and not be a hot spot for wind noise.It doesn't seem to take give any extra coverage other than in the chin area, but I'm not really sure where all my wind noise was coming from. Hopefully this will cut a lot of it down.Update - this thing DOES cut down quite a bit of wind noise, but on my LS2 assault it's just not enough. The reduction in noise is nice, but I'm going to have to keep wearing my earplugs.
