    Reducing helmet noise...

    I beg to differ on this. I Bought the mix it your self kit year before last. Followed the instructions and it worked great for the first half of the summer. Then one ear stopped fitting right and thus allowed the wind noise. Was worse last spring. Also my kit ones started showing dirt very...
