    I have one of these, the wind noise is driving me crazy, I have tried some bits of foam to quieten it a little bit , it helps but only a bit, I have found
    online replacement ear covers for the Bell Drifter half head helmet, Im going to buy these (about $20) and glue them inside my helmet should cover my ears and stop the wind hopefully ! I will keep you posted

    Will try some others when I get a chance thanks Davutch. Was just keen on something different not just black. And you shouldn't have to repack a helmet to make it comfortable. I can see why PS had them out so cheap.

    I just purchased one too. Haven't ridden in it yet, but I find it's uncomfortable too. There seems to be a lot of space around the ears aswell which I don't like... You can buy them for $100 on Ebay if anyone is still interested.

    Thats exactly what I found. Tight around the lower head but loose around the ears and above. Thought it wa just my ugly mug.

    G'day Ive been wearing a shark evoline for some time now and I really liked it...but I didnt know different.  I just bought a M2R custom flame from the good folks at Morgan and Wacker.  The fit (and look) is so much better than the evoline. hardly any wind noise and the XL fit my HUUUGGEEE head really nicely......but a few thigns to know. No built in glasses, no front cover, no face cover...so the cost of the helmet is great but you need googles/glasses a face mask etc if you go for the face open one.  It was really comfy to ride in and 120 felt nice....I only just bought a face mask this morning though (a few rides without and I now I remember what stones feel like.....NOT THE FACE< NOT THE FACE aggghhh.

    lucky im no super model

    ;)

    Just for clarification

    Bell changed the shell shape for 2014. The ones stevos is selling for $100 are the older shell size and the new style (in a handful of colours) is about $150

    I picked up a blue flake and a chrome bubble visor. Really happy with this setup in winter.

    Note the old style I couldn't even get my head in where as the new shape i'd guess i'm between XXL & XL
