Only had this a couple of weeks, but I ride about 30 miles, one-way, into work whenever I can. Really need more time to give a true assessment but the first few rides have been good. I typically take an XL (Shoei modular I take an XL) but had to go to an XXL with this helmet.
Overall I like the helmet. Seems to be a lot of airflow. Would like to see a "chin cover" like on some of the other modular helmets. In cold weather (right now) having that extra little piece of cloth under your chin would help keep cold air from coming up and onto your face. Possibly cause you to fog up but not sure since I can't try it. I wear earplugs so noise is not really an issue for me. I believe there is plenty of airflow for warmer riding but will have to wait to see.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Great helmet for the price, but fogging can be a problem at low speeds.

I bought this helmet after having tried competing units from Nolan, Arai, Vega and Scorpion. This new unit from HJC is the best balance of competitive pricing and newest features for my personal tastes. The only complaint I have is that at low speeds or at a stop, the facemask tends to fog easily, even with the lower vent open.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Answer: 
We do apologize, but at this time HJC does not have plans to produce a XXXL SyMax 3. They are limited by shell size specifications and the expense of producing new molds.

Answer: 
The Schuberth is one of the quietest modular helmets on the market, but the HJC is reported to be very quiet for a modular helmet at such and affordable price.

Answer: 
I have both a Schuberth C3 and a Symax II (not a 3), and while there is much ado about the quietness of the C3, I find that once the vents are open, it is all academic. While the C3 is slightly quieter than the Symax, neither is quiet enough (in my opinion) for extended rides without hearing protection. I found the Symax to be a very good helmet. Why did I replace it, you ask? Because it impacted the side of a utility truck in a glancing blow at 40mph then the pavement with my grape still inside. Dislocated hip, smashed clavicle, crushed bones in my foot and ankle. Zero head injury, no loss of consciousness, no failure of the locking mechanism of the chin-bar. Great helmet, and I will own one again.
