New Helmet.

Vegas Street Rider · 07-22-2018, 09:33 AM

Just bought a new HJC half helmet for summer riding. I usually wear a Scorpion EXO900 modular helmet, but with consistent 100+ temps here in Vegas, I needed something cooler. I got it online through Revzilla for $98.00.
My first impressions: Helmet fit and finish are very good. Simple pull down tinted visor is good but could be darker in the intense sun here. I have better peripheral vision with it than with the modular, of course. I ended up buying tinted goggles as the wind drys out my eyes as the visor doesn't really keep it out and I wear contacts most of the time. My one small gripe is that I have to tuck in the top of my ears into the lining but once there I am comfortable. I get great ventilation through it with the rear vents pulling the air through the helmet.
I hope this mini review is helpful.
