Sometimes choosing purely on looks works out well, sometimes it doesn't. Our reviewer's experience of the F70 came down on the disappointed end
Customers are generally pleased with their HJC helmets, noting improvements in quality, comfort, and functionality compared to cheaper or older models. The helmets are praised for their soundproofing, ventilation, and field of vision, which enhances both comfort and safety. Built-in features like speaker pockets and sun visors are appreciated, especially for those using intercoms. Some customers mention initial tightness, expecting it to ease with use, and minor visor issues. Overall, customers find HJC helmets to offer excellent value for money.
Fits comfortably and feels secure. Looks good on, would recommend
It looked good online but it s better still when it arrives. The colour and finish feels very contemporary. And most importantly it fits really well. A comfy head, feeling snug and supported in all the right places. Easy use sun visor, flowing ventilation and a traditional D ring add to the sense of a well designed and built helmet. Throw in the great Sportsbikeshop price and service - there s nothing to be disappointed about.
One of my favourite lids. Upgraded to a Shoei but I'd still be using this if I hadn't.
Good comfortable fit. Accommodates intercom speakers and extra space at sides for glasses wearers. Good air flow when various vents are open. Very happy with this purchase.
Ive now had this helmet a couple weeks and at first the cheek pads would start to ache but has gotten much more comfortable with time. The noise cancellation is great and the speaker pockets fit my cardo speaker perfectly. Can not fault the helmet.
Feels tight at first, like race fit, but softened with use without becoming slack. I am a large (60) and that’s what I bought. Good vision, included pin lock works well. I prefer D ring fastening so that’s a plus too. I wore it on the bike for a couple of hours at a time and gradually increased the time over a couple of months, now can wear it for a 14 hour 600 mile day without discomfort. I have other helmets, but this my go to. Both my Cardo and Sena Bluetooth fit perfectly. After 18 months I unfortunately dropped it on holiday in France and chipped the outside. I ordered another exactly the same from Sportsbikeshop and it was waiting for me when I got home and the bonus was, it was less expensive than the original.
This is a great helmet, fits really well but is still comfortable. The sun visor is a real bonus although takes some getting used to where the lever is on the helmet, but after a few rides its becomes second nature. I love D ring fastenings they always feel safer to me so overall a great helmet for a fantastic price
Had to change to HJC after the new AGV's didn't fit anymore and I do like this one as it is light and fits well. Seems to be good quality
I like the design, it's a good fit, the sun visor is easy to operate. Easy to open the outer visor from either side.
Have had many HJC helmets over the years and only bought this one after my last one was stolen.
Had to return the first order as the sun visor was jammed and inoperable from first use which was a an unwelcome surprise - the older design with the sun visor mechanism on the roof of the helmet seems far more robust than the cable system now in use on this model.
SBS was very quick tp get me an identical replacement and this one had a working sun visor, but it does not inspire confidence? The visor does not track perfectly and you need to 'jiggle it a bit' at times to get it to sit evenly and to draw back completely.
Decent helmet overall but this one feature is a bit flaky!!!
We bought two HJC F70 helmets for use on the scooter & old Norton. We’ve not used them yet as I’ve been on the sport bikes, the weather has been good. Visually & fit wise we’re both delighted with the helmets. SB if you re send the link I’ll Road review in a couple of weeks. The Leeds store were outstanding
Great fit and great service. Unbelievable shopping experience and delivery.
On the positive side - very light and your can barely feel any wind resistance.
On the negative - very tight foam on the cheeks causing a lot of discomfort and pain. Secondly, there's no eyewear tunnels in the foam.
This is my third HJC helmet, all through Sportsbikeshop. Fit is as expected (2XL), although ever so slightly smaller than the HJC RPHA-11 I had in the same size, so a bit more breaking in has been needed after some initial concern. Very comfortable now though.
Visibility is superb through the huge visor, and the integrated drop-down sun visor does a great job on the extremely rare sunny days we get in Scotland. D-ring strap fastener seems a bit fiddly and prone to twisting, although that might just be me getting used to it again after a ratchet fastener on my last lid. Great ventilation, decent enough chin curtain and a choice of two sizes of breath guard are all positives. The only real negatives are that the rough matt Stone Grey finish is a bugger to clean, and the visor itself is attached using two screws - not the end of the world, especially as I'm not going to be taking it off nearly as much as other helmets due to the integrated sun visor but still, an odd choice.
Great service and delivery from SBS as ever - ordered on a Sunday evening and delivered the very next day. Price was great too. Recommended!
Replaces a previous HJC helmet, good fit, catches for visor and sun visor are in different locations but you soon adapt. Blue tooth sounds a little clearer and is pretty easy to fit. Size wasn't available in store but arrived the following day via courier.
Tried the helmet on in another shop to make sure I got right size. Great fit, looks good, would prefer the quick release chin strap but just need to get used to it. very good service from SBS as usual.
I am very pleased with my HJC helmet. I have had many helmets over the years and this is up there with the best. I was initially unsure because the padding is quite tight and was uncomfortable around my ears but after wearing it for a week or two, the padding has softened and it is now really comfortable. Virtually no wind noise even a relatively high speed. The visor and sun visor are really easy to move with gloves on. All in all, I thoroughly recommend this helmet, perfect!
Purchased this helmet as I wear glasses, it's very comfortable, quiet, and lightweight, I also like the visor action, no pressing release button as with some HJC helmets very satisfied.
Find it cheaper at any major motorcycle accessory retailer, online or in-store and we‘ll match it.
