WD, do yourself a favour and start wearing proper hearing protection on the bike. https://www.hear-it.org/motorcycles-haza...0116%20dB.

Will do, I've been trying to find the perfect balance of sound isolation, comfort, and being able to hear the environment. I have tiny little ear passages so even the smallest in-ear earbud adapters are extremely uncomfortable, and a lot of things I've tried just blocks too much for my comfort.

FWIW...I have found [url=https://www.earpeace.com/products/motorcycle-ear-plugs]these to be very comfortable and the 3 different filters give you flexibility on how much sound you want to block out. They also come in regular and petite sizes so may accommodate your situation well.

Me too. That's one long WiKi entry on a TV show character.

You guys have never watched Top Gear (not the new one or american one) or Grand Tour? You don't know what you're missing!

Got me this little tiddy the other day:



Went shopping for the coveted Arai XD-4, and found it. Next to it, saw this Klim Krios Pro, tried it, then suddenly the XD-4 moved way side. This is one heck of a performing helmet.

However, fashion-wise, it would not wear well on the CB1100.

Highlights:[ul] [li]Extremely light. Possibly the lightest ADV helmet today.[/li] [li]Very quiet interior (despite the attached helmet sun peak).[/li] [li]"Transitions" technology face shield. Works incredibly well and fast.[/li] [li]Ultra fast patented on/off chin strap clasp. Can just use a gloved hand.[/li] [li]Superior head crash protection technology (you will be less brain damaged).[/li] [li]Subjective: Very comfortable.
[/li][/ul]
Lowlights:

Hard to list, but here are some:
[ul] [li]Despite its incredible lightness (carbon fiber), the shell is a bit larger than typical. Not totally unusual for an ADV helmet, but noted nonetheless.[/li] [li]Expensive.

Yep wouldn't wear well with a CB 1100, but probably looks pretty good astride an Africa Twin

Yep, maks a good match with your AT. I like it
