Hi Honza,

as always the choice of a helmet depends on how tall you are and the
turbulences behind the windshield. Even the cloth you wear has its
influence.
As always you have to ride with different helmets on your @ to find out
which model is the best solution for you.
I´m 1,90 meters tall and I really hated the roar of the turbulences. I´ve
cut the windshield so that my helmet lies now free in the air-current.
Perfect.
When it´s cold outside I mount the old  Five-Stars, reduce the speed and
it goes quite well.
Usually I wear the "Silencer" from baehr and I´m very satisfied with this
model. In Summer I switch sometimes to a BMW 3 helmet which allows to open
it while riding. Quite comfortable. It also makes sense fo me, because I
wear glasses and take a lot of pictures.

Good luck

Arnd

P.S. Offroad, when the speed is low, I wear a very old open helmet.
