While helmets are obviously a key part of a motorcyclist's safety measures, the protection they offer from excessive noise is less-often mentioned. Though most motorcyclists have learned to live with the wind noise that accompanies riding at highway speeds, too much noise will wear a rider out before actual fatigue will, thus cutting short rides - and enjoyment, too. Countless hours of wind-tunnel and road testing have made the well-balanced Shoei TZ-R probably the quietest helmet money can buy - a feature greatly prized by riders over any slick, alien-like styling or snazzy, shocking colors. In addition to reduced road noise, this "Best Of" also has perfected the easy-to-use, quick-change visor that allows you to switch from clear to tinted visors in a matter of seconds without the use of tools. This same flip-switch on the visor allows you to crack it just a bit for a little cool breeze, too. Available in eight sizes and a rainbow of colors, the Shoei TZ-R comes with a five-year warranty and meets DOT and Snell standards.

After thorough independent research we selected the Shoei TZ-R as a 3LUXE "Best Of", to see our other two motorcycle helmet selections visit our motorcycle helmets review.
