HJC Helmets C70 Helmet (Medium) (White)

If you're looking for a awesome entry level helmet, look no further. Super comfy, fits like a glove, and installing a com. system was a breeze. The air flow on a hot day isn't the best, but I'm also not sweating like a pig like other helmets I have.

XXL helmet fit my 24" long oval head great!Super comfy. Nicest fit I've found yet.Glasses slide in nicely when on also.I did remove the nose piece inside because it sat in my line of sight.

I spent a few days nerding out on motorcycle helmets to choose what would replace an older HJC I have. I think the C70 is unbeatable for a full face helmet. It has a pin lock compatible visor, the visor has a lock mechanism to keep it closed during a crash but it’s still simple to open when you want to, flip down shaded sun visor. The only thing it doesn’t have is pockets for Bluetooth speakers.The big selling point for me was the helmets safety rating. Of course it’s DOT which really means nothing since all helmets have that but the C70 is ECE rated and got 5 stars from SHARP. I don’t think you can find a helmet with all these features and such good safety ratings for the price of this one.I chose the flat black version and removed all the stickers for the clean flat black look I wanted. I like this helmet so much that I might get a second one in another color just because.

The helmet fits me perfectly. It has a very wide view range from side to side. The air flow is very good also.

I did a lot of research before I purchased this helmet and I think it paid off. First of all size and shape do matter when choosing a helmet. Be advised that this helmet will fit a person with an intermediate oval to long oval head. My head measures exactly 23 inches and have an intermediate oval head shape. The size chart shows that a medium would be too small and a large would be to big. I am an in between size. This is where head shape becomes a factor. Since I am an intermediate oval, I chose the large since this an intermediate to long oval helmet. That means that the helmet will be a bit narrower as measured vertically. The large fit me perfectly. Had it been designed strictly for a long oval, it may have been too small and if it were designed for a rounder head, it may have been too big. It is a very comfortable helmet with very good air flow even though it only has one front vent. Supposedly, the HJC C70 is supposed to be highly rated by DOT, European and British SHARP standards. However, I have read on some sites that the helmets sold in the US are different than the helmets sold overseas. Please do your own research though. Even if this is true, this helmet has proven itself over and over as being a life saver. There are many testimonies that back this up. The only drawbacks I have found is with the sun visor. It does not lower completely. There is a bit of a gap at the bottom. This is really not an issue with me but it might bother some. Also, when the sun visor is lowered, it does restrict the air flow a bit. Again, this does not bother me since I live in a cooler region. There is also a bit of chatter out there that this is a discontinued helmet and it might be hard to find replacement parts in the near future. Again, please do your own research. Regardless of the imperfections, this is a very solid, well built and comfortable helmet and I am glad I own one.
