Hey Guys,
Made it out to a couple of stores today. I tried a J-Max, I think it was called. Just terrible. The opening / closing of the lid and face were deafening, and it had a chin piece that blocked vision when the face was up. It's off the list.
Also tried a HJC, with a plastic button. Fit, finish, and noise levels were good, but after hearing Pauljo reviews of it, I will try to find a Nolan.
*** I have read some reviews but I don't understand the chin 'ski lock' system. Instead of D rings they use this? What is this, and what does it look like? I am not a fan of the half tinted shield, but like ya said, it can (and would) be taken off. Also, can you while wearing the helmet with the chin in the up position, can you ride / see clearly? I am not talking about the interstate or local roads, but from gas pump to store? fwiw, I am looking for one of these helmets for my trip to SC in May. Last year, every gas stop turned into an ordeal due to taking time for a smoke / drink etc...So I am looking to be able to get gas, have a drink, AND be able to have a clear field of vision with the chin up, saving time and avoiding the 'gloves off , glasses off and hung up, helmet off, ear plugs out'...and all back in reverse routine.
Keep the info coming.
