HJC is one of the top helmet brands in America and very reputable throughout the world. The HJC CL-16 helmet was an amazing model. Even more impressive is the HJC CL-17.
This helmet meets the DOT and Snell safety standards. The airflow through this helmet is incredible. It uses an advanced ventilation system that allows you to adjust airflow.
If you sweat too much there is no need to worry when wearing this helmet. Your sweat will be wiped clean from your head because the inside of your helmet will remain dry from the moisture-wicking lining technology.
The interior lining is removable so you can wash it easily. The liner is also grooved for eyeglasses. The padding is thick and protects you from any sharp protruding points that could poke your head and cause discomfort.
The visor is unparalleled. It uses a Pinlock lens that never fogs. You don’t have to be a handyman to remove and replace the face shield. It does not require tools to change the visor, making this an excellent visor and helmet for beginners.
The head shape this helmet best fits is round to neutral head shapes. You can remove the cheek pads and the ear pockets are large enough for you to fit an intercom. You can buy this helmet in a few different colors but I prefer the matte black.
The HJC CL-17 is certainly a high-quality helmet. It is similar to Shoei but is more affordable. The performance is amazing and you will feel secure wearing it if you were ever to get into an accident. The polycarbonate shell is super strong and can withstand high impact. The overall design has a modern, chic appearance that will turn heads.
This helmet has gained so much notoriety from riders that it is one of the most popular helmets sold online. It is probably one of the best helmets for the money. Don’t like the HJC?
