Bash hat is a bash hat. What impressed me was/is the level of service the guy I spoke to listened to me and advised me, was very helpful, not only with this product but a few other items as well so I'll be going back and telling anyone who asks to try this particular shop, shop is clean tidy and well set out with a variety of stuff for the biker in your life.
So pat on the back and well done.
Yep. surprised.
Given the low cost of this helmet I was pleasantly surprised at how comfortable it was to wear straight from the box. It doesn't drag when open and is easy to use.
A few down sides. It can be a little noisy and draughty when closed but the vents work well.
The adjustable level for the internal visor is a cool feature and the external visor is easy to remove and replace.
Maybe not as good as my Shoei Neotec, but at a third of the cost I'm not complaining.
Nothing to dislike. Even my intercom fitted snug in it
I like HJC helmets as they're well spec'd, fit my head shape, and most are a reasonable price. Especially compared to some other rip off price "Brand names".
My only issue is that as a flip front helmet a replacement visor from non OEM sources doesn't work properly (fine on a standard HJC helmet, just not the flip front !) This means buying a replacement visor is restricted to OEM and therefore more expensive. SBS were as helpful as they could be, but this is an HJC issue.
I will still buy HJC as opposed to other brands though.
Good fit and features and great value.
Stylish and easy to use. Great sun visor.
I already own a HJC i91 helmet, that needed a new visor and pinlock. The price for this color was so good I decided to buy another helmet instead. For the price this is a brilliant helmet. This seems to be my go to helmet, even though I own better helmets. The flip up front is great, and the ability to fit a cardo intercom (that fits pretty much flush to the side) makes this helmet so good. It's comfy when riding for 6 hours+. The negatives are wind noise, and it looks slightly large next to my more expensive helmets. It's definitely a good helmet though, especially at this price point. I own 2, and would probably buy another.
Priority #1 for ME was being able to comfortably wear my glasses with the helmet on, which the i91 is great for, particularly with the lift-up chin.
Other features like the strap release, included pinlock & additional tinted visor are great.
It is quite a heavy helmet, and it's a shame it has a custom intercom set up rather than standard
Would buy again though.
I treated myself to this helmet due to its gorgeous colours, its the same make as my original helmet so no worries on safety, and fits perfect. Off out over the hills & far away I hit gravel on an island. One broken leg. But my head is intact - thanks to this helmet!
Lovely fit, good guality, nice touch to have the speaker recesses makes a good fit over the ears. Internal dark visor operating mechanism is an improvement over the previous model, and although this has been mentioned in other reviews, the main visor ratchet mechanism feels flimsy and not positive enough, hope it can hold the visor in the position when open.
More comfortable than the older version (which is comfy), vents are easy to use. It’s light, love the built in visor
Brilliant helmet. Fantastic bright tangareen orange, a colour that can be seen by other road users. Fits like a glove. Having the ability to flip the front section is lovely when stopping to chat or enjoy the surroundings without needing to keep removing the helmet. I would definitely buy one again.
Nice comfortable helmet easy to operate and comfortable to wear easy to install communication unit.nice and stylish.
Very good quality and functional also good value
Very pleased with it
Shop staff where very knowledgeable and helped with fitting and sizing
This helmet is a good fit, comfortable with good visibility. It was also easy to fit the HJC intercom system.
As a flip helmet this offers the freedom to use as an open face on short journeys and helps without having to remove if you pull into fuel station providing full visibility
