Still can't find one I like. Has anyone tried an X-Lite X-551?

My mate had a one, didn't get on with it and found it a bit noisy. Bought an HJC HQ1 carbon fibre lid instead and loves it.
It's pronounced 'twenty-one-twelve'

Thanks. This is such a PITA trying to find a quiet lid with good vis. EDIT: Which fits.

Agreed, buying a new lid is a chore and you generally end up with sore ears ! Keep on trying and check out the HJC option if you get the chance.
