HJC Helmets Forum

Just some thoughts after using this for about 5-6 rides.

My helmet background, my only helmet for about 6 years was an Arai RX7-3RR (I think this equates to the Corsair in the current line up). For the past year or so I have alternated, the Arai for commuting to work and a Shoei RF-1000 for the weekends (this helmet has wired speakers).

To prevent me from leaving my sunglasses at one more store, I was very excited to see the Scorpion EXO 1000 announced with the built-in sun visor, but got tired of waiting and waiting and waiting.

I am thinking of replacing my current helmet with a new one. I went in thinking price was no object, but with the firm intention to evaluate the helmets based only on quality, feel, and fit. The HJC CL SP seemed to rival the $500 helmets in the important categories. Anyway what do you all think of HJC CL SPs? any of you have them, are they noisy, does the air flow well, does the visor continue to work smoothly?

I welcome all opinions and experiences. Thanks.

HJC FS-10. Helmet with Integrated sunshield. I have and use one regularly. The design is cool and for the most part it works without fogging. However, I'm used to my Oakley e wires with the polarizing lenses. The integrated sun shield does not cut the mustard on optical clarity or whatever the hell it is that makes Oakley's so great. If Oakley made an insert lens for the

HJC, the world’s largest helmet company, have launched their popular FS-10 full-face helmet in a new carbon fibre shell option.

Predominantly the use of carbon fibre is largely associated with racing and sports riding, but by utilising this lightweight material on a sports and touring helmet, HJC have found other benefits in aiding rider comfort after long durations in the saddle.
