HJC CL-15
Product strengths: Fits great. Looks quality. Excellent price.
Product weaknesses: Becomes very loud over 60mph. And fogs up way too quick.
Overall Opinion: I really like this helmet. But it is loud and in a humid climat it will fog fast. But overall i like it for the fit...and it was a vey good deal $119.00

Product strengths: Very comfortable. 3 seperate shell sizes. DOT and SNELL approved. Very good visability from wide visor. Adjustable vents work well. Has never leaked rain through visor (and I have put in 2 hours solid in heavy rain). Easy to change from clear to tint screen. Sharp graphics and overall solid construction.
Product weaknesses: As many have stated, this helmet has higher wind noise than some more expensive helmets. Yes, at speeds above 65 (no one does that right?) this helmet can be noisy due to all the venting and very wide visor. An iPod or $1.25 ear plugs at your cycle shop will solve that if you run a lot of interstate miles.
Overall Opinion: Very good value for the price. I own two and did crash test the first one. If you are sensitive to wind noise, spend $400+ on something else or ride in a car. I tested it at about 40mph in a curve and walked away which is all I care about. Bottom line, this helmet does its primary job; that is it will protect your head.

Product strengths: Price, comfort, has held up well.
Product weaknesses: Fogs badly in cold weather. Visor distorts and leaks when I turn my head. Visor changes take concentration.
Overall Opinion: If you need a helmet and have $125 to spend, this will protect you in comfort. New to riding? This is good protection without spending $400. Kind of like the bike. Buy a cheaper one until you realize what you REALLY want/need.

Dan Adams Spanaway, WA Great helmet For the money I don't think you could find a better helmet. Thanks.

HJC CL-15 Full Face Helmet

The long affair was over. I walked away, only looking back once, later wishing I'd taken one last picture to remember our time together and the painful end. My friends all said I should have left sooner, much sooner. My parents were simply ashamed of me. My wife had held her tongue for so long that she was about to burst into mocking derision everytime she saw me leave the house. Finally, even I saw the light (actually, I saw gouges cut so far into the fiberglass that small bits of foam were exposed), I had to leave my old Shoei X11 helmet and find a new lid.

The HJC CL-15 is both Snell and DOT approved and is available in a variety of colors and designs.

This helmet is very comfortable and has good ventilation. As with many other HJCs, the CL-15 features a removable liner, easy to remove face shield, and it is lightweight. The CL-15 also comes in 3 shell sizes, for maximum comfort.

There has been some slight fogging of the face shield, but nothing too major. Definitely a good helmet from the CL line.
