Full Helmet Noise Damping

I had been wearing a 3/4 face helmet this year after getting my first bike. As the weather chilled, I bought me a Nolan N100 full helmet to take the chill off. The first thing I noticed was a significant drop in sound that I could hear. I can no longer hear the engine reving sound and it feels awkward driving. I kind of feel in limbo not being able to "hear" and feel the bike respond. For some reason, I could hear everything fine with the 3/4 helmet. Any one else feel awkward with a full helmet on? Everything, from switching gears to downshifting just does not feel comfortable. Is it just the model helmet I bought, or is it a common factor with full helmets? |
