Windjammer 2 "Reduces Wind Noise fits All Full Face Helmets. The Original Often copied !

This is a very useful product for me. My eyes get dry very easily, and with my Arai helmet there is a ton of air coming up the front of my face. With the Windjammer that's mostly gone. There is a bit of air that comes via the holes you can see in the photo of the product and that's plenty for keeping my screen unfogged while moving. While stopped (e.g. at a stoplight), I just crack my visor - which i always did anyway, so this hasn't changed that habit. So there is significantly less wind with this. Also, it does make your helmet quieter. I use earplugs as well, but this helps. As for installing this, it's quite easy. Just turn your helmet over and hold it in your lap with the top of the helmet facing down to the floor and the hole of the helmet facing up. Put the windjammer, with the safety paper taken off, on top of the hole with the sticky side out (naturally). Then i use both hands at once near the front of the helmet to push outward, over and down to get the sticky part well over the sides of the helmet. I spin the helmet and I do that motion again for the back end. It stretches the material a bit and gets the stick portion of the windjammer completely touching the outside of the helmet where it can hang on, and it makes the opening for your head a bit larger via the stretch. Thus, it's much easier to put your head through that if you don't have that stretch. Note that this is my second windjammer. I bought my first a few years back and here's what happened: a)I loved it, and b)I ended up leaving it in the direct, hot sun a few times, and when you do that the soft, gummy adhesive that they use gets really soft and it can slide partially off of your helmet. This happens when you leave it for long periods of time in direct sunlight. I don't feel the least bit bad about that lesson learned b/c the thing is so inexpensive and so useful that i just bought a second one and this time I'll keep it out of the sunlight on hot days :). BTW, that does not include riding on hot, sunny days. It happened at a couple of track days i did where i just left it in the sun between sessions. Oops.

I have a Bell RS-1 full face helmet and I bought this for cold weather protection and wind noise reduction. It helps slightly with wind noise reduction - for my helmet I've found the only thing that seems to reduce wind noise is either absence of wind or getting the helmet into clean air. Most windscreens cause buffeting and uneven airflow, and that's what causes the noise in my helmet. For cold weather, this is great - it really does keep your head, and even neck, much warmer. The drawback is it will make the helmet shield and glass fog much easier, but I've found I can crack my helmet in even < 30 degree weather and not freeze because the windjammer helps control the amount of air entering the helmet. When it is raining, it's a different matter however - because the windjammer won't let your breath escape as easily, my helmet fogged heavily and it became difficult to see out of - cracking the shield did not help clear the fog for the same reason you don't freeze in cold weather - it controls the air flow, so you don't get enough flow to defog the shield. Overall I like it as I spend 1/2 the year riding in cooler and cold weather in NC. I have warn this when it was 80 and higher out - on the highway it's fine, but you will get hotter than without it in urban traffic. I recommend this for cool/cold weather riders - if you coupled it with a pinlock system it would be very, very hard to beat.

18-Month Update Still have the same Windjammer 2 on my helmet although I am beginning to see signs of slight fraying in the material around the material edge at the jaw (perhaps stubble a few days after each shaves is beginning to get to it?). Can't even remember what a loud ride with wind noise was like, except that I recall my ears would hurt for some time. Original Post So I received and after the super easy task of putting this this my helmet, trying it on, then loosening it a bit so its not pulled so taught (which pulls it away from the neck) I thought to myself... 'its 8pm and a little below 32 degrees but I just have to find out well this thing cuts down on noise'. So, after donning my cold weather riding suit I head for the interstate, but not before a ride around town. The ride over though I have to say "This thing is WONDERFUL!" This thing really works! While it will keep you warmer in cool weather (a pro), the con of actually being hotter in the summer is a reasonable cost considering the very real hearing damage which will surely be done without it. While it isn't a replacement for ear plugs at extreme speed (75mph) I would feel confident going without earplugs for extended periods of time when driving anywhere from 0-74mph. Real Data: As an human and environmental health graduate student I am well aware of the value of hearing protection. Were you to ride your motorcycle for a living, federal OSHA permissible exposure limits (PEL) limits 8hr exposure sound limit to 90db and only 2hr @ 100db (average). Unfortunately, these regulations are a careful mix of employee health statistical expectations and employer cost feasibility and The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) "found that significant noise-induced hearing loss occurs at the exposure levels equivalent to the OSHA PEL." NIOSH published recommended exposure levels without concern of employer costs for adequate employee protection (feasibility) based solely on health risk data. NIOSH limits are: 8hr @ 85db and 15min @ 100db. In a 2004 study by the Charted Institude of Environmental Health (UK), it was noted that all tested helmets (open face plus visor open and closed both with/without neck seal) within the study generated greater than 85db at speeds lower than 30mph (50kph). Interestingly, the data also suggest that neck seals increase the allowable speed prior to exceeding the 100db recommended limit from 65mph to more than 75+mph (the db/speed graph [fig 1.0] didn't quite go high enough to make a definitive (~77mph?) observation). Using this AND earplugs?... would probably make my ears ring from the resultant deafening sound of utter silence, lol. Food for thought... if you get this thing only then to turn around and blast music from your MP3 players directly into your ear I fail to see how your actually reducing your risk for hearing damage... Luckily, this thing makes wind-noise quite enough that don't have to do so, so turn the volume down a little. Drive safe!

If Proline Sports would use Velcro to attach the skirt to the helmet and use a zipper and/or Velcro to open/close the opening around one's neck, it would probably deserve more than 1 star. But they didn't include either of these features in their product, making it just above worthless for anyone who rides every day. Look at the Schampa HLMSKRT01, which gives the rider an easy way to attach and remove the skirt, as well as an adjustable neck closure. As other reviewers have noted, this device suffers from poor design. 1) The opening (read: doughnut hole or sphincter) that one needs to push their head through is too small and doesn't stretch very much. Unlike helmet manufacturers, Proline Sports decided to take a "one size fits all" approach. Bad idea. 2) What the ProLine box refers to as a "non slip band" (which holds the Wind Jammer in place) is actually a paper backed adhesive strip (aka mounting tape). As other reviewers have noted, once it's in place it's very difficult to adjust or remove. Multiple removals will result in the adhesive peeling away from the Wind Jammer and sticking to the helmet. Once it is stuck to the helmet it discolors and attracts dirt, pet hair, and insect guts. 3) The design does not account for the fact that many people use intercoms on their helmets. If you use an intercom, you'll need to install the Wind Jammer over it. If you want to charge your intercom or swap it onto another helmet, you'll need to peel the Wind Jammer back or off completely to remove your intercom. See above about multiple "peeling off to adjust". Besides, do you want sticky adhesive on your Intercom? I don't. I suppose that you could cut a window in the Wind Jammer material to accommodate the intercom mount, but given the lack of stretch and rather tight fit on the helmet, this could create a rather large tear in the Wind Jammer. 4) Once the Wind Jammer installed, fastening the helmet's chin strap becomes somewhat of an acrobatic feat on my Shoei RF1100. As the title and first paragraph of this review indicate, check out the Schampa. It's a Champ(a) (-*

This is very well made and has some amazingly sticky stuff on it that really works. Further, you can pull it back off and it continues to stick over and over, making it easy to adjust the fit. It also doesn't seem to leave much in the way of sticky residue. It does, indeed, improve the seal along the bottom of my helmet and keeps my head more comfortable on colder days, although it also gets hot when the weather is warmer. In 80 degree temperature, it became almost unbearable in there, and I had to remove the product and store it on an old helmet until next winter. The big issue, however, is that this doesn't solve the problem I was trying to address: Wind noise. I didn't use sophisticated sound measuring equipment to evaluate the change, but if my helmet became quieter, it certainly wasn't by enough to make much difference. More importantly, it did not eliminate, or even reduce, my need to wear earplugs whenever I ride. That's what I was hoping for. This is a good product for anyone wishing to increase his or her comfort when riding in cold weather, because it really does reduce drafts. As far as noise reduction is concerned, however, don't expect much.

I saw the Windjammer in an online motorcycle magazine review. They said it was worth the money. I agree 100%. I wish I could rate it 4.5 stars, but it's worthy of 5 stars since that's the option. I waited until I have used it for several months before rating so I could give an honest review. I do not use a windshield, so I catch all of the wind with the face of my helmet. By using my hand to block wind entry to the bottom of my helmet, I found that most of the wind noise was from wind intrusion through the bottom of my helmet. The Windjammer does a VERY good job of mitigating this situation. I know the Windjammer is doing its job because I can now hear the wind whistling through the vents and on the outside of my helmet. I didn't even know that noise was there, so I know the Windjammer is helping. I still wear ear plugs because the high-frequency wind whistling around the outside of the helmet. With the Windjammer, I can hear my exhaust even on the highway; previously I couldn't. The Windjammer wasn't particularly EASY to get stretched around the bottom of my helmet, but it wasn't impossible. It was handy to have my son hold the helmet steady for me as I stretched the Windjammer around the bottom of the helmet. Getting my head pushed through the Windjammer/helmet opening is weird at first. I'm used to it and don't think twice about it, now. Also, I don't have particularly big ears, but the Windjammer does grab my ears as I pull the helmet over my head. It's not horrible, but it is weird. When the humidity is high or if the ambient temperature is particularly cold, my helmet visor fogs quickly every time I stop with the Windjammer. It happens quickly, so I simply crack my visor and the problem mostly goes away. I keep the visor cracked as long as I'm in town and then latch it shut as soon as I hit the highway. I've read others' opinions that they will remove the Windjammer when the temperature gets too high. I think I will leave mine on. It does seem to make the helmet somewhat warmer, but I think it's negligible on the highway (I do use my other helmet when I'm riding in-town, though). FYI, the Windjammer is shipped from England. Mine arrived withing a couple weeks, but don't be surprised if it takes much longer. Again, I'm very happy with my Windjammer and I would certainly purchase it again. It DOES NOT get rid of all motorcycle-riding noise, but it does help A LOT with wind/helmet noise.

There is no mystery here. Says what it does and does what it says. It was clear to me that it would make my helmet a warmer wear. It does but it's an acceptable downside. It is supposed to reduce wind and noise and it does so noticeably well which is the first reason I had considered buying it. It appears to be made for a lasting life. Without abuse, this thing could work for many years. If the stitching fails, it would be worth it to repair it or just buy another, which I wouldn't hesitate to do again. It also reduces the drag from wind on my helmet which reduces neck strain and over time/distance/speed riding, this little item really pays off the longer you enjoy using it. And it comes off easy. With a simple amount of patient work clutching your helmet with your knees you can put it back on in about 30 seconds and spend maybe another minute or two getting it just right. The only other mention I want to add about the actual space for your head concern I read somewhere, is that the yoke is neoprene which only stretches so much before you're probably going to be flat out uncomfortable going on and off more than once a day. If you are trying to use headphones or some kind of beanie headwear stuff before you add the helmet to your head, with this jammer on your helmet you better figure out slow and easy does it or you'll fight with it. But that's only a situation, not a failure of the device. Unless they can make a Velcro-type adjustable collar closure, you , me, and everyone else is stuck forcing our heads through what can feel a bit like cramming your head into a pickle jar with no lube. You get the idea.

Maybe this works on some helmets better than others, but on mine it has a almost inaudible difference in wind noise. It may block a tiny bit of wind noise recirculating in my helmet but does not reduce it in any significant way. Perhaps on a smaller helmet where the material makes better contact with your neck, you would have better results? Does keep my neck and head warmer, so yay... Waste of 20 bucks.

Esto hizo la diferencia al conducir, redujo el ruido muchísimo y ahora puedo conducir a gusto, fue fácil de instalar, ya veremos con el tiempo y cuando se lave o moje la durabilidad, pero hasta ahora genial

Enkel montering, lång leveranstid då det fastnade i tullen. Känns som att det kan göra en viss skillnad i brus inuti hjälmen

The wind jammer works great to reduce wind noise.

Ca ne bloque pas complétement les remous du vent mais clairement, j'ai vu la différence avant/après. C'est particulièrement efficace jusqu'à 70km/h. Au delà de 70km/h, j'entends un peu plus le bruit du vent, mais ça reste toujours moins bruillant que si je ne portais pas le windjammer. Couplé à un cache nez + bouchon d'oreille, ça rend la conduite beaucoup plus agréable pour l'audition. Après, il faut admettre que le windjammer tient chaud lorsque l'on roule à faible allure (particulièrement en été) puisqu'il empeche en partie l'air extérieur de rentrer dans le casque. Enfiler le casque demande également un peu plus d'effort puisque l'ouverture pour la tête est retrécie, mais avec la pratique on s'y fait. Globalement très satisfait du produit

I have been using this now for a while and completely love it. I ride in all weather to and from work and so really wanted something to help make the commute more comfortable. This fits very easily onto the helmet and once on is very secure, no amount of putting your head in/out is going to make this come loose. Overall it performs very well and does a massive amount to not only reduce wind noise, but also prevent air blasting into your face/eyes (My helmet didn't come with a chin guard). In bad weather you do get a lot more condensation on the inside but I also use a 'foggy' mask which helps prevent most build up, just need to get a new visor with pinlock fitted which should completely prevent condensation even in heavy rain. Surprisingly the vents at the front work really well, ensuring that you continue to get nice fresh (or as fresh as can be if your in traffic) air into the helmet no matter the weather. In terms of the noise reduction, yes absolutely it does reduce noise significantly ... but I still wouldn't solely rely on this. For sake of curiosity I did do some testing with just this, rather than the constant barrage of wind you get a lower 'boom' so I continue to use ear-plugs and it's just perfect. As a product it is very well made and I am a happy customer who will be using this on all my helmets from now on.
