Quiet Rider...

[WildKat]

Anybody use one of these, or a similar product? how do you like it. I know I hate riding in the cold with my neck exposed to the wind, from my collar up to my helmet. wind racing thru there is quite a bit nippy to say the least.

I have one. I absolutely LOVE it for the Winter. It doesn't really keep the wind noise down, but it keeps the wind off your neck and face and holds in heat very well. I highly recommend them for cold weather riding...

Huh , I do okay with a scarf . Those look nice too , though !

Should be mandatory in Canada then!!

They work pretty well. My only complaint comes from there not being
enough airflow through the little front vent or some other way to open
it up on the bottom for when the temperatures rise. It's fine when I
start out in the morning at 38 degrees but when the afternoon temps
got to the 50-60's it was very hot in the helmet. If it's cold all day long
it works fine.

I'd forgotten about my desire for one of these when I got my last helmet (flip up). I'm disappointed to hear it doesn't cut down on the wind noise.

Is it not easy to remove before heading home if the temp goes up throughout the day?

[jhugh]

Well yes and no. The QuietRider has a 'lip' in it's fabric that installs between the helmet shell and the liner. On my HJC the front chin liner area is made of a semi-rigid plastic and makes trying to slide the QR between there a pain. Each time I have to pry the liner to fit the QR on. So, yes it can be removed when the weather warms up but then it's a PITA to put back on each time.

As for being quiet I have to disagree with stevnmd - it made a noticeable difference in my case. I am sure the helmet makes a big difference in both installation ease and how much noise it eliminates. My HJC is noisy to begin with.

hhmm, yeah that would be kind of a pain.....but im so used to riding in cold weather I probably wouldnt even use it unless the temps were guaranteed to not go above say, 45 or so. other than that, its not really that bad..

[tdrcomm]

I suppose that won't work for flip-up's, hun?

[jhugh]

I would guess no.
