Great bang for the buck here. Very comfortable, great fit and finish. Lining inside is removable for washing. I trust it without a doubt to protect my knoggin if I do happen to crash. I went and tried on helmets at the local bike store, and this one fit my head better than the helmets that were twice the money. I don't know how noise level compares to other helmets, because I've never worn a more expensive helmet at high speeds. I wear ear plugs anyway, so it doesn't matter to me. It has lots of vents, which is nice for those hot days. To me this helmet is flawless.
