HJC V90 - Pearl White

Light weight helmet, very good visibility. Good fit and no wind noise looks good with retro visor and sun visor. Good vents thanks Good Quality.

Really nice comfy helmet with totally unrestricted vision. Cheek pads initially feel snug but soon wear in. There is no pin lock system but the only time I have had a problem was in minus 3 freezing fog where ice formed on the outside! Flip up is easy to operate and the tinted visor easily clears my glasses. It is quite noisey compared to more expensive helmets - but I ride an Enfield! Excellent price too.

Best feature of this helmet is the bubble visor, as it gives a large view, with plenty of peripheral and vertical vision to spare.
Second best feature is ventilation, keeps things cool, and the absence of a chin curtain, a fixed open vent on the chin and the shape of the visor all help avoid or manage fog.
The mediocre stuff is the sun visor, which doesn't go down nearly enough and cannot be finely adjusted.
The bad stuff in my opinion is the flip-up chin, mainly the latching mechanism. Whilst it's really easy to open it up, due to the nature of the helmet, you cannot close it easily whilst moving. It's not even advisable as the helmet isn't dual homologated, so having the chin down is a big part of its structural integrity. But even at a standstill, I find it difficult to slam it shut with one hand, far easier and more sensible to use both hands to push the sides down so the latches can catch the respective anchors on each side.
The issue is, and again I'm pointing to the modular nature of the helmet, due to the very thick cheek pads pushing the sides of the helmet outwards and stretching the frame in such a way that the chin bar gets stopped short of reaching the aforementioned side anchors.
It creaks and feels wobbly, certainly indicative of its poor 3* SHARP rating. And yes, I use the correct size for my head, having only 2 shell sizes doesn't help the matter, but you get what you pay for.
Noise wise, it whistles. A lot. Lower your head down and it sounds like Thomas the tank engine. Lift your head up, stand straight, and it's fine.
As a matter of fact, I believe most of these shortcomings can be tolerated for the price and its intended use - it's a retro helmet, probably best deemed for cruisers and tourers. You stand straight, it ventilates great and is as quiet as a helmet of this price can be.
You flip it shut before taking off and that's dealt with.
Not sure how it manages in the wet yet, I am not expecting any impressive results.

My order arrived very promptly the day before a 300klm road trip so I couldn't wait to see how it would compare to my previous Shark Evo One 2. Its much quieter and doesn't fog up at all, which may be due to no chin curtain. Initially the visor seems a faff to raise but its not a problem with gloves on during spin. I would have preferred a slightly longer sun visor but overall it was a great performer on my windy but sunny road trip. I'm usually a size S in Shark but the M was a much better fit with this HJC. It has a lovely clean classic look with the cute retro bubble visor but yet has the stuff I love like the sun visor, vents and handy flip up feature. It also has pockets for a bluetooth system but my earbuds were very comfortable to wear underneath for my own GPS navigation. A great value helmet!

Elegant design. Unbeatable combo of full face, modular (flip) + retro extra wide vision visor. Looks so simple, but full of features. Easy open and lock. Simple access to vent and tinted visor sliders. No fog vision. bubble visor very spacious. Fit true to size for me. Fast post, amazing service as usual.

I've been looking for a helmet of this type for ages but either poor reviews or to costly. However this helmet ticks all the boxes. It's very comfortable and the sizes seem spot on. As per usual sportsbike are superb on price and delivery!
