    I have similar issues trying to find a good screen for my @ and I have to agree about the Justissimo. It is the noisiest helmet I've ever owned, and the buffeting blurs my vision slightly while riding and leaves me a bit disorientated after a long run. Suggestions for a good replacement welcome, I've tried the Schuberth but the neck strap chokes me. So its currently a choice of deaf or asphyxiated.

    I have bought a Bell helmet, I have tried other helmets but hankering after the feel of a light comfortable and quiet helmet I have always found Bell to be good at the quiet helmets and the new materials should make it comfortable.

    I'm on my second multitec after an off last year. I've never found them to be quiet helmets an any bike, (apart from when brand new in the "honeymoon" period), but they win on comfort and I wear glasses so the flip is a big help. Tried a number of different lids including a Schuberth as I liked the Judge Dredd visor idea but the Shoei was the best fit which is the most important thing. My 700 has the standard screen, I'm 5' 10" and don't really have any problem with buffeting, certainly no worse than my previous bikes. Any wind noise is dealt with using ear plugs.

    As mentioned before, it's very personal.
    When I got my Caberg, I tried it on my GS; much noisier than my Shoei, so I put it back on my shelf and carried on with my Shoei. But, when I tried it on the Transalp, it was a lot quieter! Go figure..
    It also depends on many factors. I noticed with different screen configurations, if I stretched my neck, it was quieter; uncomfortable though
    So, you'd think that if I stretch my neck by two inches, lowering the screen by two inches would have the same effect; Hah, no way.
    Ooh, wait a minute, if I wear my leather jacket, it's noisier than my normal jacket. Ooh, must be wind flow, quick John stretch your neck, ooh, no good with the leather jacket.
    Do you get the picture! Now you know why I'm not playing with my screen anymore, I don't want to end up in broadmore
