Well, my poxy HJC FS-11 has gone and lost its chin curtain (piece of crap design) and now I need a replacement.

Currently on back order of six weeks from the factory!

anyone know of an alternative?

Make your own?

Its only a bit of fabric with a stiff card insert to hold its shape (well mine is anyway, AGV).

Has anybody had any success with those aftermarket helmet skirts?
I had a motrax one and it just ended up wrapped around my head every time I took my helmet off.
Someone I used to work with asked me where I got it from so I just gave him my one. I've never seen him using it though so I think he probably had the same problem Smile

I've tried both the "windjammer" and the Motrax stopwind deluxe skirt.

The windjammer feels like shoving your head back where you came from. After a couple of years, the effect was heightened by it disintegrating into sticky smelly goo.

I felt that the Stopwind skirt worked better, it really did do a decent job of keeping wind (and rain and sleet and snow) away from my neck. I didn't have a problem when putting the lid on and off, just velcro and go.

Very much an individual thing though, I can see people not liking them.

Anyone know if the StopWind Deluxe is still available - looks a better solution than the windjammer or as suggested is it better just to DIY?

Old Thread Alert!

The last post was made 5 years, 218 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful?
