HJC IS-16

[zman]

Great looking/functioning helmet, I guess they really have come a long way.

I wear the HJC Modular and love it other than it is a bit noisy. The drop down visor is a really nice feature.

I was thinking modular and fond one I REALLY liked, until I started looking at the price tags. I stopped looking at modular's and started looking at full face's until I found this one.

I try to stay away from intercom capable things... That would just give her another way to yell at me

The intercom reduced my headaches...... (slapping of the back of the helmet) :smilie_happy: :smilie_happy: :smilie_happy: :smilie_happy: :smilie_happy:

Brian, any report to date how the helmet has worked out? Anti-fog still working?

I'm looking to replace my 3/4 helmet for the Florida trip (plus it is time to replace them anyway Over 8 years old).

I didn't get to use it much in cold weather since I haven't ridden this past winter. Last winter though when riding I did find that the tinted shield fogged up really quickly where as the clear shield stayed fog free. I rode from my sons college to my home (206 miles) and found that the clear shield did build up a little moisture after some time. Comfort is not a problem and the cooling vents work really well - even in July in the South.

By far the best helmet I have owned to date.

I use Turtle Wax to clean my helmet and visor and that seems to make a big difference with reducing the amount of fogging as well as having nice clear vision. I will say that riding down the dreaded driveway at relatively slow speed that I need to control my breathing or open up the visor otherwise it fogs up badly. Once riding with helmet vents open and less panting visor is fog free :good:

An old nasty anti-fog solution for shield's, goggles, scuba mask, etc: Clean with your saliva. It works.

I installed a pinlock visor insert in my SyMax 3 and it has been pretty amazing for two years now. I ride pretty much year-round on the GL1800 with heated gloves and jacket liner. Even in torrential rain (summertime) my vision stays clear. Only when starting out with a cold helmet will I need to crack the visor a bit until the insert warms a bit.

I have an Aria with PinLock insert, it's the best thing since sliced bread!

 

[slabghost]

I'm ignorant on the pinlock thingy. Anyone got a link? Is this an add on thing?

I want to remind everyone that this helmet has both a clear shield and a retractable tinted shield. The clear has given me no problems. Only the tinted shield fogs in the colder weather.
