A great helmet!

Extremely pleased with this helmet, especially for the price. There's a little bit of wind whistle around the face shield, but nothing excessive. Very comfortable, light weight, and the flip-up sunshade is a useful and well-executed bonus. Highly recommended.

Great Helmet!

I was waiting for the European model Nolan N-43 to come out but the HJC IS-33 has similar features and is lighter and much cheaper. I especially like the retractable visor. The only feature of the Nolan I miss is the ratcheting helmet strap but I can't complain since the IS-33 is so much cheaper than the Nolan and fits nicely.

HJC IS-33 Helmet

I saw this helmet at the MC show in NYC. I tried it on and liked it. I love the extra sun shield

A "looks cool" great quality helmet.

Ordered two (small). One for wife (silver) and one for daughter (wine). They both love it. Fits true to size. It is a quality helmet from a true and tested brand. The vents on top work well but lets face it, it is an open face helmet so you'll have all the ventilation you need. The weight of the helmet is "good". But according to my daughter (12 years old) "daddy it's too heavy". It is her first motorcycle helmet so this is expected. She did say that it "looks cool" which I have to agree it certainly does. The wine color I like very much. Has a classy look to it. Thinking of buying one myself. Already purchased the Shark Evoline which I love. This would make a great second helmet for those hot steamy summer days.

My only negative comment, if this helmet deserves one, would be about the clear face shield. Could have been of a higher quality. On the other-hand tinted replacements are available and may be of a better quality. Not sure.

The inside sun visor works well. There is a sliding lever on the top of the helmet that controls it. What I like about it in particular is that it can be lowered at various positions and locks at each one. When completely lowered, it has good coverage and does not interfere with the line of vision. There is also a button next to the lever that when depressed, retracts the visor intirely into its hidden compartment. This quick release button I think is invaluable while ridding. Overall I was not dissapointed. In fact, thinking of buying another in the same color as my little girl so father and daughter can look "cool" together. Received in 7 days with free shipping. How can you beat that?

Thanks ReVzilla.
