Excellent fit helmet and the drop down visor works perfect
I am extremely pleased with the HJC. I tried on a medium HJC, that doesn't have the visor. It was a little too snug. Head measures somewhere between 57-58 centimeters, which I measured myself, should have someone do it for you. At low speed helmet is good, so far only have ridden 60 mph, and I tighten it a little more for higher speed. Because I wear glasses, the visor is an excellent feature. It pulls down very easily with two fingertips, and youcan find the tab easily, with gloves on. Have already had a rock, come off a semi, that hit the visor square on, and that would have hurt. The visor color is excellent, it is like a grey, and seems to improve my vision. I got the white, and unlike my black full-face which is also an HJC, Harley-Davidson modular, it stays cool. South Georgia is hot, during the summer. Either wear the full and get heat exhaustion, or wear the half.The liner is well made, provides ample cushioning, and so far has been comfortable. I have read some forum discussions, with riders complaining about the size of the helmet, and that a bigger helmet doesn't "look nice". I don't understand, the rational, behind fashion over function. It's a half, it won't protect like a full face helmet. But to me, I feel safer in this helmet, than I think I would feel, with a thin little half helmet, that has a reduced size liner, so that you look "cool".

This helmet has nice style and features.
Like the fit and style so far! Haven't had it out on the road yet but would expect it to be nosie due it's a half helmet. This is what I was looking for.........Great service and communication on the purchase!!!!

Love it
All the ratings above are for a 1/2 helmet. I mean, noise? All haves are a quiet as no helmet (or loud as he case may be).
I've tried tons of 1/2 helmets and this is the 5th I've owned. Easily the best. It does not have that sensation of lifting off my head while riding at speed. Stays put during head checks. Solid and comfortable. In the past I always tried to find minimalist 1/2 helmets so as to look as ungoofy as possible. Guess what 1/2 helmets look goofy, might as well get one that is comfortable, fits, and gives some decent protection (for a 1/2 helmet). If I could change anything I would trade some stealthy venting front to back for the built in shade. My head is 59 1/2 centimeters and a large fits me perfectly.

A Great Helmet For The Price
It's a good helmet, period. I do wish it had the adjustable fitting device on the back of the neck like some of the newer half-helmets out there.

Nice Helmet.
Shield is fairly easy to raise and lower with excellent coverage. Fit and style are very good. The chin strap could be longer, as is it is difficult to loop through the rings. A bummer is that the darn 'size' sticker is on the visor, which I scratched when removing the sticker! It's barely noticable and does not detract from the added comfort of riding with this white helmet in hot weather!

Not Second-rate for Second Helmet
Bought for carrying around as a loaner for passengers. No complains after several riders. The pull down shield is nice for novice riders and the experienced ones. One novice rider commented about freeway noise. So, offering ear plugs to guest on freeway glides is recommenced.

Like the look and the fit.
We're pretty happy with HJC products overall. Nice looking helmets, excellent finish, the lining is very comfortable and we LOVE the built in shield and sunshade on our IS-33s and the eye shield on our IS-2s. Revzilla service is excellent. Will use Revzilla for our riding needs whenever possible.
