Message from Quiet Ride Helmet designer/inventor - Al Halfaker

To my knowledge Quiet Ride Helmets are the first helmet company in the U.S. or the world for that matter to obtain a third party government tested noise reduction rating.   

I had Quiet Ride Helmets tested for actual noise reduction so I could legally advertise noise reduction rating. Advertising a noise reduction rating required tests performed by an authorized U.S. government agency to legally advertise any type of noise reduction rating. On July 2nd, 2014 Quiet Ride Motocross helmets obtained a noise reduction rating of NRR 17 and Quiet Ride Full Face Helmets obtained a noise reduction rating of NRR 19 from a U.S. government auditory systems laboratory testing agency. https://www.quietridehelmets.com/noise-reduction-test-doc/

Quiet Ride carbon fiber helmet shells are made of multiple layers of extremely strong hand laid, carbonized Kevlar® fibers with multiple layers of resin which take a lot more time to produce than vacuum molded composite shells. Due to the inherent strength of both carbon and Kevlar, less material is needed to achieve maximum helmet performance, strength and durability. As a result, DOT approved carbon fiber helmets are the lightest helmet shells you can buy, but also the most expensive shells to manufacturing

Quiet Ride fiberglass shells are made from multiple layers of fiberglass fiber cloth combined with multiple layers of resin and hand laid which also take a lot more time to produce versus vacuum molded composite shells. The strength of the fiberglass weave allows for a thinner lighter shell that will pass DOT testing also.

Using ear noise reduction muffs to protect your hearing have two advantages.

1. Helmet speakers located in ear muffs create better sound quality for intercom communication or listening to music.

2. Second, a small amount of ear muff pad pressure around ears to block exterior noise entering ears is a lot more comfortable than forcing ear plugs into your ears.

In conclusion, If you are a motorcycle rider or a snowmobile rider who rides all day and typically experiences ringing ears from listening to high sound decibels all day, a new Quiet Ride Helmet should be in your future.
