I have just invested in the new BMW enduro helmet; i commute from Tauranga to Rotorua every day thru the Pyes Pa road… I think its the best helmet ive ever owned... I do wear ear plugs all the time so noise is irrelevant anyway.. but i still beleive its better than both my AGV St George and my Shoei..... Is light and v comfortable... Just make sure you feel comfortable in it and dont take any notice of the sizes... they are v small ..(Or i got v fat:-)))))
