HJC F100 - Plain Matt Black

Before visiting the Birmingham store I had my heart set on Schoei Neotech 3. Unfortunately, it didn’t fit my head shape. After trying 3-4 other flip-fronts in exactly the same size (L, 59-60cm) and with the guidance of the excellent staff, the HJC F100 was the “one”. The build quality of the HJC is very good, OK perhaps not in the same league as the Shoei, but still excellent. My advice - put “fit” before brand every time. On this occasion, compromising on brand image saved me £260 and the HJC “flip-over” has now won me over.
+ves: good visibility and ventilation; comfy.
-ves: limited visor positions; visor removal is a bit fiddly.

This was my first HJC Helmet in many years of biking. It's comfortable and reasonably quiet. The visor gives a wide field of vision compared with my previous helmet which I find particularly beneficial. So far, there isn't anything I dislike about it. The staff at Boston also transferred my comms to the new helmet which was returned by mail within 36 hours - excellent service.

All I can say is that it is not only a perfect fit but also very comfy. It is a weird feeling of tightness around the head (as a newbie biker) but over time one gets used to it and, I also have installed anti fog visor onto the pinlock which helped immensely. Along with Cardo bluetooth. Made my rides awesome. It has a sunblock visor within as well. The best part is the ventilation units on top and at the chin area. This helps breathing fresh air (although depends where you are riding as lorry's burnt disel smell is not great to inhale lol)

I chose this helmet as it was the only dual homologated modular helmet that fit me well within my budget.
With a small head and longish narrow face it was cosy on the cheek bones and around my head.
It’s comfy and feels light. Came with a pinlock which I found quite easy to fit. Release action of the strap underneath the chin is great.. Really happy
