HJC i100 Semi-Flat Black Helmet

I previously had the SHARK modular helmet and while its price point was $130 higher, it felt like a better helmet, its movement, vents and sunshade operation were all easier. The top vent is very sticky and takes considerable force to open with a gloved hand while riding, and the sunshade is a thumb operated slide at the jaw instead of overhead and it too is not as easy to find or easy to adjust. The overall comfort of the helmet is great and I love the way it looks.

1. Uses double d loop strap. I prefer this as ratchets dig into my Adam's apple.2. Helmet is very creaky3. Sun visor is a very generous size compared to other helmets4. When you go from 3/4 to full face the visor comes down with the chin bar. you can pinch your fingers pretty easily so instead you have to smudge your visor with your fingers to get everything in position.5. the double d loop retention straps have stitching (see picture) that painfully scratches your face every time you take the helmet off. never had this problem with any other helmet before6. when you try to put the visor down with one hand, the visor will not come down flush. the side of the visor that you push down with one hand will come down but the other side won't all the way. ... More1.

Helmet comes with pads that cover the speaker pockets. remove this or else your ears will be smashed against the side liner. speaker pockets are big and deep enough for 40mm speakers.8. Chinbar is the rear position is a floppy mess, even with the "locking" red peg on the side of the helmet.9. chin cover is very difficult to install and comes loose anyway when you flip from 3/4 to full as it hits your chin on the way down and pops out.

Fits well after I returned my Large and got an XL replacement. The modular feature is nice but for some reason, it tends to direct air right into my eyes if I'm going at or above 45 mph. Might just be the shape of my jacket or head. It has cutouts for bluetooth speakers which is nice. My only complaint is the chin strap. It is very annoying to fasten when you're wearing gloves. My old $100 helmet had a much better chin strap by a long shot. Otherwise, it's a good helmet
