I bought a new ????

HI

I just bought a new HJC I90 helmet.

It is lightweight, and quiet.

It has built in speaker pockets, and built-in channels for speaker wires, and boom mike.

It has a internal drop down sun shield, which is operated by a smooth wire lever that is easy to reach on the bottom of the shell.

It is also Bluetooth compatible.

low profile

It has a increased view for a wider vision on the road, and a rapid-fire, shield.

Cool interior

It fits snug.

Just sold one of these to a customer. He likes it. But states that it fits about 1 size smaller than his previous Nolan helmet. $299.00

They're great helmets. I have been using the same helmet for about 6 months. I have been using HJC helmets for years; great price, good fit, etc.

Congrats. I'm still waiting on mine to arrive. I had to go up one size for it to fit. Can't wait to get it.

I bought my helmet from a can am dealership. I got a good price.

My previous (old) helmet was a Zox. I had the Zox for long time.

( off topic, I went -in to our local can-am dealership looking for some ice scratchers for my sled, I don't have much down time between the motorcycle season and sled season).

Back on topic: I like my new helmet.

I have a couple HJC helmets. Good stuff for the $$.

:congrats: on the new helmet Deanna. :yes:

New riding gear is great. Like starting all over.

Used a Nolan N-103 for years until it started getting loose. I purchased a Shark Evo-One to replace it. Great helmet.

Two pluses for HJC: one, you can often get replacement parts and liners, and two, they hold up well and protect well in a get off (verified personally in 2016).

Im still wearing my Arctic Cat (HJC) helmet the dealer gave me in 1994 when I bought my ZR 700...Probably close to 150,000 miles and I lost count of how many dozen replacement shields I have gone thru...

Yes, it is like starting over, but I'm not.

I got my new helmet at a Can-am dealership,( off topic: I went in looking to some rear ice scratchers for my sled, which is a 2020 Ski-Doo 900 Ace Renegade, the sled season is around the corner).

That is good to know.

Most, if not all helmet makers claim a helmet should be replaced after:
1. a crash with helmet contact
2. 5 year old (due to material degradation over time)
Granted, helmets can still look perfect after many years but run the risk of failing when needed in a mishap.

Since returning to the wind therapy in 2008, I've gone thru 1 Nolan N103, 2 HJC RHPA Max, 1 speed & Strength, 1 Klim, and 1 HJC C90. All but the Klim have internal visors and all are modular. The HJC RPHA Max was miles ahead of all the others but no longer available. My go-to now is the HJC C90. If the Klim had an inner visor, it would be on top.

How do you like the HJC C90 helmet?

I like it because it moves air across my head when 100+ and is warm (no other headgear) in the cold. It fits my head shape, is on the lighter side, has the flip-down visor, is modular, and I bought it 2 years ago for $240. As I mentioned above, the HJC RPHA Max was easily the best yet but the C90 is very good. I don't like D-rings so I converted the C90 to a clip closure.

Didn't think it was suggested to run helmets that long.

:agree: . Officially, they only have a life of Five years here in Oz! :shocked:

Marketing Propaganda

Don't think so, but it's your head. Over 25 years is really pushing it. I've had interior foam degrade after 5 years let alone sun and shock (drops and hits through the years) exposure to the exterior.
