Has anyone got this helmet, if so is it any good? I'm tempted by this after seeing it at this price..

Paid half that for a Nitro carbon one, weighs less and was not even noticeable when it was on.

I've had a non-carbon version of the FG-15 for 4 years. Paid £100 for it, I consider it one of my best motorcycling buys. I bought it to replace a £400 AGV which was shit.

Pads etc are removable, I wash them about once a year or when they get gross. For me, wind noise is low but I wear earplugs anyway. Visor mechanism is still going strong and I am still on the original visor, despite having a spare and it being used in 4 salty winters. Venting is good and the nose guard thing works wonders at keeping the mist at bay on cold/wet days. I don't have a pinlock fitted, but would like to try one so that I can keep the visor fully closed during heavy rain.

Other than that, seems nicely made, haven't had any reason to dislike it and I would and will buy another if anything happens to this one.

We've got both Nitro's current carbons at the shop, the DVS shell's better looking but I dont like internal sun visors.

The 927 Evo's a really comfy lid & got a 5 star on the SHARP test.

Might be able to help with some cheapy lids if you're happy with end of season stuff.

All new, odds and sods etc although most of the premium stuffs sold fairly early on - https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/Clothing-Helmets-Protection-/177074/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_ssn=bowen-moto

Got my HJC Carbon for £130 , Most comfortable helmet I own (I have 4) removable lining helps aswell, fairly quiet and ventilations good. Wouldn't say its amazing but it's definitely one of the better helmets out there.

Very, very tempted to buy that with the visor i'd be wanting anyway thrown in that looks like a real bargain

I have 2 FG15 helmets as well , one old with original visors which I got about 4 years ago used daily and a new one from lids direct that was £89, still in box unused with pinlock visors. Great helmets especially at £89.

FG-17 is imminent to replace the 15. I'll have to have a look and see if there will be a carbon version, and see what updates it has.
There is a carbon version of the RPHA10 Plus, if anyone's interested. I preferred my old Laser carbon (£300 helmet I got off the rep for £65!) but the RPHA is the best crown fit I've ever had in any helmet - I'd need to replace the cheek pads in my size (med) to those from the small though.

I have an FG-15 but in the Ben Spies colours and it's a fantastic helmet, best i've ever owned. When it comes to replacing it i'll definitely be getting another HJC

don't tend to have a lot of choice when I bought my helmet as I have a massive swede of a head (3XL) so lucky the FG15 fits. but standard shiny black for me.
still had to be specially ordered in. I'd be buggered if I need a new lid in a hurry.

I got the non carbon one and I'm totally opposite to everyone else coming from shoei raid its turd , noisey as hell the visors feel like there made from paper , front vent broke after about 2 months of use , the up and down mechanism is crap compared to my trusy old shoei its just feels massively cheap
