So after wearing my lid over winter with a balaclava it no longer fits without said balaclava. I spent all afternoon at work with a shiney new lid in my shopping basket on lids direct. It was a good lid with what I think is a good reduction.
I was hovering over the checkout button for ages and then I went for it Confused

Spent far more than I wanted to but fuck it, I'll let you know how it turns out.

Nice lid, not sure what else I should say........

My older HJC helmet has been faultless for the years I have owned it

I'm quite new to biking (this is my first summer) and I have a box bz1, so this a huge step up. I was trying some of the HJC's on in a shop and couldn't believe the weight difference!

Lets hope this one fits the same as those Confused

i don't mind the HJC lids, but find the fit didn't suit me too well, so had to buy an AGV.

Ermmmmm no, I've tried a HJC on but I freely admit I'm taking a gamble. I was a large on the Box and a medium on the HJC.

it will just go back if it doesn't fit

Nice lid. Thumbs Up

I like it when they run out of stuff to say about something so they come out with this-

'RapidFire™ Shield Replacement system: Simple and secure shield ratchet system provides ultraquick, tool-less removal and installation for efficient operation.'

I like HJC lids, fit me well, light and comfy, cant fault mine over the last year. Only other lid that fits as well is AGV, long as its a good fit for you and you like it thats all that matters.

Mind you, if you want something different look here Shocked

No internal sunvisor Shocked
Couldn't be without mine now, why can't they make this a standard feature?

Nice looking lid though Thumbs Up

I know the cheaper lid I was looking at had one as well. Figure it's a good excuse to get some new sun glasses though, that or a tinted visor
