    Are they any good or do they just a make it more of a hassle getting ya helmet on & off? Can you still wear a neck warmer?
    Yep sure do, there brilliant, and yes I do where a neck warmer, but not as much now I have my Chillout shirt, which zips up high at the neck, add some heated hand grips and Im toasty as, dont give a shit about the shit, Im into comfort.
    But yes, recommend the whisper kit and the nose cover. Dont have any hassles getting helmet on and off, easy as.

    Perfection is not something you should ever attain, but something to always strive for. For if we actually achieve our idea of perfection, is it then any longer perfect?

    Plugz 4 Lugz?

    Maybe its only me, but I find that when I pull the helmet off, the whisper kit pulls the ear plugs out. They bounce real well, and while trying to make everything black, dark grey ear plugs are a right bastard to find on the road etc

    Yep, they work well but getting the helmet on and off is a pain - particularly if you need to do it regularly.

    Fitted my whisper kit and wore it for 5,000 plus kms on the Mini's Return.

    I found that it did quiten things up a bit but I still needed earplugs. Closing the top vents on the helmet also helped although it was too hot most of the time for this. The kit did increase the temp inside the helmet a bit but this was the least of my worries - I was sweating like a pig in my jacket & pants. Getting the helmet on and off is a bit harder but not too much of an issue.

    On my bike screen position also makes a difference - fully raised induces quite a bit of noise. It is quieter at lower settings.

    I guess a lot of things affect the old noise inside ya helmet but the whisper kit along with ear plugs do go a ways to quietening things up.
