Overview

A carbon fiber outer shell gives this HJC open face helmet its light, shock resistant build. An internal smoke visor drops down in three steps, and the leather and suede lined interior has removable pads, speaker pockets and grooves for glasses.

HJC blends a retro look with practical touches like a drop-down visor and room for a headset and eyewear. As an open face design, it gives no chin or jaw protection.

Who it's for

Around town riding on cruisers and classic bikes suits a light open face helmet. Riders who spend time on highways at speed should consider a full face.

Pros and cons

  • Speaker pockets for headsets
  • Removable, washable pads
Cons
  • No chin protection

Performance notes

A carbon shell spreads impact load while saving weight on the neck. The internal visor cuts glare and the vents move air, but wind noise is higher than in a full face helmet.
