Good helmet for the price

Very comfortable helmet with good ventilation on the top vents. The front vent isn’t as effective as you really need your head down to benefit from the airflow. The internal sun visor is a great addition and has 3 settings for where it sits. The helmet is prepared for HJC 21b & 50b comms systems which I intend to buy very soon. It has a double loop strap which works great too. In the box it comes with a pin-lock which I feel is a nice touch. All in all it’s a good value for money helmet.

First-time biker, didn't know what to look for with a helmet but took guidance from far more experienced friends. Of all the different brands tried, this one felt the most comfortable, felt the most secure, it's lightweight and easy to put on. D-rings feel more secure to me than ratchet straps, and this has D-rings. The built in sun visor is also really great.

Usual HJC quality finish and delighted to see that they have dropped the visor centre catch opening mechanism which was a definite weakness in their design
