my new helmet
HJC FS-15 carbon fiber
I am upgrading from a AFX fx-28--i think..I modular helmet
The pictures don't do it justice...it is very light...I noticed no drag when checking over my shoulder like with my other helmet...barely any wind noise and no whistling through the visor. The carbon fiber weave is pretty much flawless. Clearcoat....it looks like there is a decent coat but only time will tell....the first day I had it out I had a decent sized rock smach into my head that was kicked up from a truck..I polished the scratch out..good thing it came out. The visor keeps snug, and changing visors is very simple
My complaints about this helmet is for the price your paying for..the lense is not fog resistant and there isn't much adjustment with the visor...like the clicks to lift up the visor at various stages..the first click to make the visor stay up on its own is prety far up and blocks view.
THe pros are are ventillation...I didn't know what ventillation was until I got this helemt...I never felt the air run thru my old helmet...in this helmet I can definitly feel te air rushing thru the vents. It also came with a great helmet bag with some compartments for extra visiors and stuf...its good for storage but who is gonna carry their helmet around whil its not in use???its bound to get scratched. baby it for a couple of days. and let it go. Size fits tru to size to my knowledge of course..I've only owned a vega, afx, and HJC helmet and all fit nice in medium size.
so overall...light to te point u don't feel it on ur head while ur riding...it looks great. and produced by a repectable company...it reatiails for over 400...but if u search at the right sites..u can get it for as low as 280 ( u can pm me if u can't find it) Its a great helmet and should servve me years of protection
