JayMutt Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 I've gone for this flip up helmet. What I like is that it has a glasses groove. I did measure my head before buying so hoping the fit is perfect. 30 day return if not: FEATURES Meets or exceeds DOT FMVSS218 approved. Meets or exceeds ECE 22.05.

daveinlim Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 hjc are a big well known brand, they make a lot of great helmets. They don't have a lot of fancy extras that others might have but having said that they do tend to offer great bang for your buck. I don't know this lid but I've had a couple of hjc in the past and been happy with them all. They tend to get 4 or 5 stars in SHARP tests so I doubt you can go wrong as long as it fits well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeHorton Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 I had a HJC flip front it was great still have it as a reserve lid. Go to a decent stockist and try some on you may find it doesn't suit you. I tried a caberg when I got the HJC I was sold on it until I tried it. It just didn't suit my balloon head I don't think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mississippi Bullfrog Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Bang for your buck you will struggle to beat the Caberg Duke / Duke 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Westerly Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 It all comes down to the shape of your head. The basic measurement around your skull doesn't really help a lot. I've tried on a number of helmets over the year and the only brand that is a good fit for me out of the box is Schuberth. Any Italian one is a complete non-starter and for some reason I struggle with Arai and Shoei. I have an HJC but it's nowhere near as comfy as my Schuberth and I use it as a backup.
