HJC launch their new helmet into the highly competitive £200 category
Customers are generally satisfied with the HJC i70 helmet, praising its comfort, fit, and value for money. Many highlight improvements from previous models, such as better speaker pockets and an enhanced sun visor mechanism. The pinlock feature is appreciated for preventing visor misting, although some customers note it can still occur in slow traffic. Critiques include issues with wind noise and occasional visor whistling, as well as stiff sun visor controls when wearing gloves. Nonetheless, customers find it a worthy upgrade from older helmets.
I guess this is an end-of-line product as the i71 is now out, and at about £80 it's an absolute steal. ACU rated, Sharp Level 4, and a Pinlock included in the box, what's not to like? Others have said about these being smaller than the advertised size, and that's also my experience. I'm normally an L, 60cm, this XL 61-62cm is actually a bit tight. Either the foam will yield a bit or my skull will deform, but better tight than loose especially when new. I find the vents easy to operate, unlike in the video review, but agree it's a bit noisy which I think is down to a bit of space around the ears for intercom etc. Overall it's a great lid at a bargain price.
The Helmet is good quality for the price.
It is a little bit tight when pulling it on but was comfortable once it was fastened up.
Beautiful helmet and at a great price.
As my wifes helmet I cant comment on the fit, but the finish is world class.
Built in sunvisor has come in handy for her too.
Only gripe would be the old school D shakle type strap
Bought this as a replacement for my ageing HJC helmet. This is the more modern version of the one I had. It has a few handy upgrades like proper speaker pockets and the shell is a little bit more streamlined, you still get a pinlock included which is great and the sun visor lever at the bottom is better, my old one had it on top of the helmet. Comfortable and secure. This is not the latest version and is still a 22.05 standard but a great discount made it a brilliant buy. Ordered 2 different helmets and returned the other that I didn't want and the return was as easy and painless as ever with Sportsbikeshop. Thanks
No wind noise great fit and looks good
Had this helmet for around 3 weeks now and so far have been pleased with it, and found nothing to fault. Fits as expected
This is the second one of these helmets that I've purchased. I have one which easily accommodated a head set and I also wanted one without a headset as a spare for possible use for a pillion. The noise levels are good and I've had no issues with steaming up in the winter months. The wide visor also helps with visibility when doing shoulder checks.
Good fit, everything I was expecting I got. Good value for money
Does the job for a good price
Comfortable, hi-vis, good padding. Only gripe is the internal visor controls are a bit stiff and tricky with gloves on, but otherwise a good lid.
Ordered online but swapped sizes in store at MK. Great service and very helpful staff. HJC make great helmets and are better value for money than many.
Top top helmet! Comfortable and good quality, this helmet is everything I was hoping for. The only minor issue is noise when the top vents are open which on a long journey would become annoying, but that's the only thing stopping it from getting 5 stars!
I was a bit skeptical about buying online, without trying it on ( especially after returning faulty LS2 Storm) ... I had a few helmets of HJC in my hands, and on my head and... the sizing is not so obvious. Usually I wear size M 58cm, this time I decide to took 59 .... and it was a bullseye. It was a little "tight" on the sides of the head, but it has started to settle down and I don't feel it as much anymore... I have the opportunity to compare it to the Frank Thomas helmet. The Frank Thomas is a bit more comfortable, but the HJC i70 is a bit lighter, the pinlock really does the job and what is very important to me, the HJC i70 is noticeably quieter. Surprisingly, during the first rides it whistled slightly in the side wind, but it is a matter of fitting the new helmet. Summing up, I am happy with the purchase.
The helmet is a safety device, I feel the safest colour is bright yellow, it stands out like a sore thumb.
The padding he super comfy, far more comfy than my previous AGV & Shark.
& It comes with a pinlock, everything I was after for £120.
Cheaper than the black version, good snug fit for my wife and the best part is the internal visor comes down and covers your whole face.
I bought this to replace my IS-17 Helmet that I has served me well over the last 5 years.
The i70 seems as well built, comfortable (perhaps even more so) than it's predecessor. A great value every day helmet.
Surprised with the quality of the helmet when it arrived, considering the price. Bought it on sale for my wife. Great fit, comfortable, it's got sunglasses and comes with pinlock. Wife couldn't be happier. And as always great service from SBS.
HJC have high hopes for the i70, which arrived in 2019 to replace the uber-popular IS-17 in the competitive mid-price...
