Excellent helmet for the money with great features!
Received quickly and immediately put 400 miles in the hat! Was extremely happy with how quiet helmet was compared to my Caberg that this replaced! Sun visor could be a little darker tint, but it does a good job! Air flow is adequate and does a nice job of keeping your head cool! Would definitely purchase again.

Great helmet, good view.
I bought this helmet for a 300+ mile trip, mainly for the full protection and the UV protection. The fit runs small, I had ordered a Large and usually wear S to M. The large fit great. Helmet has very good viewing area. I actually forgot I had the shield down and would bump my hand into it trying to rub my nose, etc! The pop down sunglasses are handy but very lightly tinted. I ended up wearing my bi-focal sunglasses under it and was happy. The vents work well - we rode from north TX to Fayetteville, AR in warm Sept weather and I was comfortable. Good product, good price.

Best (and affordable) Open Face Helmet!
I've been looking for an open face helmet for quite a while looking at all the different brands and I have to say this HJC helmet definitely delivers. Well designed, very balanced and quite affordable too as compared to other major brands out there. Awesome ventilation with all the active and passive vents. The internal sun visor is also very, VERY easy to use. Now I can enjoy my rides even more without having to worry about glares from the sun.The noise level from the wind however is still there but that is to be expected from all open face helmets (can be easily solved with a couple of ear plugs). The fit is a bit small even for an Asian guy like me. I had to go for size XL because the Large was a bit too tight for me.

All in all, I LOVE THIS HELMET. Well designed, well equipped, all in one affordable package. Awesome helmet overall.

Excellent helmet overall.
I was pleased with everything about this helmet except the noise. At around 25mph a loud whistling sound starts with the face shield up. If you always drive with the shield down this would not be a problem for you. The fit was a bit tight for a large helmet, but it only requires a little more effort to get it on without pinching my ears. Overall an excellent helmet.

Almost sent back...
But I'm glad I didn't. First, I have a round face and this helmet runs small. I ordered 2 sizes larger, and when I first put this on, it was very uncomfortable across my jaw, pressing against the side of my face. I actually started to send this back, but decided that I could not wear an even larger helmet so I decided to give this a shot. After a short break in period, this works great. I like the style, the features including the sun shade, and the airflow. I recommend giving this helmet a try.

Best bang for buck
Tried several and this one has a lot of great features. Fit is on the small side. Order at least one size larger than you actually measure. By their chart I should wear a large but it is way too tight. Gave it to the wife and ordered an Xlarge for me and fits much better. Other than that it is a great helmet for the cooler temps and works great with Harley comms.

Great Helmet!
If you're looking for a full helmet but want increased visibility this is perfect. Recently switched from an R6 to Harley Fat Bob and noticed difficulty seeing the spedo on the tank in my full face helmet. With the visor extending full face I can see much more easily and have great peripheral vision. Might be the lightest helmet I've ever used... love that part!

XL has always fit perfectly in previous HJC helmets but this one seems a little snug. Might be that it's still super new and the padding needs to mold a little (only used half a dozen times on short 15 mile rides). Not a problem really but worth noting.

After the first ride I did start to notice that the visor doesn't seal completely on the top right. I've taken it off and reattached, cleaned and pressed around to see if I can get it to seal back. Again not a huge issue but does increase the noise a little.

Great for running around town but I'll probably switch back to my full face for highway use to cut down on noise.

I recommend this helmet.

Great cold weather helmet
This was a colder weather alternative to my summer HJC helmet and it was a great choice. It provides a lot more warmth and protection to extend my riding season. This helmet blocks a lot of wind and noise.

Great overall value and great features
I bought this helmet as an alternative to my Shoei full faced helmet. Wanted a little more visibility and I like the open face feel. The price and visor drew me to this particular helmet on top of my wife loving the HJC IS-33 she uses. I decided to go the next step up and I'm extremely satisfied with this product. Right after I got it I went on a 1600 mile trip and it performed perfectly. Much less wind buffeting than my Shoei and the visor is a nice touch (could be a tad darker or polarized to be perfect). I was pleasantly surprised at the performance and quality of this helmet considering it being inexpensive. Overall the value of this helmet cannot be beat and I can't say enough good things about it.

paul w on Mar 16, 2014
I am actually disappointed in this HJC (white) helmet, and that is a first for me. I have owned many HJC helmets in the past and they have always met my needs and worked flawlessly. This helmet, however had the slider piece on top just snap off under normal use and a small plastic piece for one of the top vents also failed. I treat all of my helmets with kid gloves but for some reason this one had both of these failures. I'm not sure how to get it fixed or replaced so any assistance would be appreciated. I am purchasing a new hi-visibility HJC helmet today but I would still like to have the other one as a spare.
K E on Oct 9, 2013

Is there a pinlock version or version of the shield coming in the future? Would this helmet even benefit from a pinlock?
A shopper on Mar 22, 2015
BEST ANSWER: No pinlock and yes it would benefit. by your mouth it does fog up while at a stand still. Clears up when you start moving.
Can the shield be replaced with a visor?
A shopper on Feb 28, 2016
BEST ANSWER: No. If you want Visor get the HJC IS 33-II
How do you install a headset? There seem to be no room between the liner and shell to attached the mic/cord piece?
A shopper on Jul 3, 2015
BEST ANSWER: Just bought Sena 20S liner removes easy to run wires and there are "ear" pockets to hold the ear-'speakers'. All tucked nicely and great sound
Do HD Boom audio communication headsets work with this helmet?
A C on Sep 13, 2016
Does anyone have advice on how to solve the loudness of this helmet at speeds above 25mph? I own other HJC helmets, and this FG is the only one that I own that is so loud when riding. It's very discernible. It's winter here, so my vents and sun shield were already closed.
VA Ryder on Nov 29, 2013
BEST ANSWER: I've noticed the same problem. Doesn't seem to be a problem with the face mask up... But that doesn't help much in this weather.
what are the different between FG-JET & IS-33?
A shopper on Aug 30, 2013
BEST ANSWER: the main diff - FG- jet is made out of fiber glass vs, poly carbonate, jet should be lighter, ventilation is incredible with jet, you can feel air flowing over head while riding , down side the helmet is very loud , i am not familiar with IS - 33, but i replaced a very old HJC with jet, they fit my head, i had two helmets in mind - jet and expensive nolan which was on sale, nolan was a beautiful helmet and the clasp system is much better than double d - rings but, fit is everything, and the inner visor of nolan is not long enough and intersects your view, i ordered both helmets in large, kept the HJC , returned the Nolan , got a quick complete refund, rezzilla is a good company to deal with, very helpful / with info
Any issues riding with the outer shield removed? Is the attachment mechanism easy to gunk up?
A shopper on Nov 24, 2013
BEST ANSWER: Riding without the outer shield is no problem. Easy on/off. Issues would be:

1) A bit more noise from uninhibited air slamming through the air inlets. (Note, the outer shield in the up position, helps break up the air stream going over the top of the helmet, thus reducing wind noise.)

The obvious:
2) Less protection in rain/cold

3) Less protection (minimal) from debris or accident

Other than that, little kids think you look like a fighter pilot.!

No issues with gunking up the mechanism. But I'm a street/highway rider. No issues whatsoever. Can't speak for off road use.

Finally. Since I'm publicly posting online about this helmet. I really, really wish HJC would have created a optional sun visor that would snap in place of the outer shield. That would have made this really good helmet even better.
Does the clear visor offer UV protection?

BEST ANSWER: I am not sure about UV protection but it does reduce the UV enough that my glasses don't get dark the way they do when I am not wearing the helmet.
does the drop down sun visor interfer with glasses?
A shopper on Aug 22, 2016
BEST ANSWER: I have two pairs of glasses. My smaller pair fit with the sun shield down (barely) my larger pair of glasses do not fit with the sun visor down.
I'm looking at the FG-Jet vs the IS-33 ii (there are comments below on the IS-33 but not the IS-33 ii) - I'm curious whether anyone has an opinion on the two?

BEST ANSWER: Jason, I have the FG-Jet. I've had it for two years. I have 5 other helmets so it isn't my only helmet. It is light and I also chose white for summer rides so that it wouldn't absorb too much heat. The fiberglass construction makes it lighter than my polyshell helmets. The internal sun visor is very convenient. I will tell you that HJC runs a little tight. Since I don't wear it exclusively, it has remained a bit tight. It is not the quietest and the top side vents are roller controlled and are not the most reliable and very difficult to adjust on the fly. The rocker and slide switches are the easiest to control. The center vent is a rocker type and is easy to open and close. The D-ring latch is OK, but once you start using the micro-ratchet latches, you'll wish it was that way too. I ride to work most days and as I am answering your question, I used the HJC today. Hope this helps your choice. Happy riding and be safe.
