Well its been about three weeks with the HJC.
I must say this is a great helmet (in my opinion). It is very quite for a modular helmet. I think quieter than my full face Arai. Its still a little snug but will loosen with time. The modular style helmet is great as many of you know. As I've said before, "I'm missing the whole point." The other day I gassed up and it was nice to be able to flip up the chin bar and have full view of my tank to pump gas, to converse with people, etc. The clear shield has great width. My peripheral vision is better then my Arai. One strange thing I noticed is the left field of vision, while looking at my instrument panel, makes the left side of the instrument panel seem closer. I actually thought the fairing had twisted or torqued to one side, really strange. Also I think the internal sun shield could be a little darker but overall, I rate this helmet high. So when your helmet gets 3-5 years old and its time for a replacement. I would recommend this moderately priced helmet.

Can you say BRIGHT! This jacket is bright in the daylight. I know I'm being seen on my I-95 commute to DC. Vehicles actually move out of my way. Maybe they think I'm 5-O. Lots of pockets, ventilation and armour. The only dislike, more air hits my neck than the ole Joe Rocket which means a balaclava during cold mornings.
