Hows the form lads? Just a quick hello!
Reading through boards forever but never posted until today because I was only flicking through the topics in the truck when if i had a spare few minutes.

Just wondering what ye think of the HJC brand of lid.

Cheers!
Dan

Very good lid, well made and comfortable. They would not be in the same league as Shoei or Arai but they are one of the better makes on the market. If I could not afford the top 2 it would be a HJC or a Shark lid.

I currently have an Arai and a HJC and while I do favour the Arai the HJC is very good.

I've got a HJC FG15
Very comfortable. Only thing a can say is that hjc lids tend to be bigger overall than the more expensive brands. That's fine by me cause I'm not spending 600 quid on a helmet.

Top job. All I wear

HJC IS-16 here and has kept my noggin in grand condition twice now after a couple of low speed offs anyway.

I have the HJC RPHA10 (Ben Spies Replica) very comfy lid, and had the IS-16 when I had a bad off last year. I was pleasantly (and thankfully) surprised how well it held up, given the severity of impact. Highly recommended. Not a thing wrong with them.

I have the IS-16 now a few months and can't fault it :-)

Had a HJC before and definitely wouldn't mind getting one again.

It's sort of like a tick box when you're filling in an online form, the spam tick box:
"Please don't tick this box if you don't want us to not send you emails about our deals"

OP will have to work out wheather i like hjc's or not! Yep, good lid.
And the plus side, remember seeing an ad for it in a bike mag, had a woman wearing nothing but the hjc lid. She looked like a sex robot.

I have the fg15-prism, nice lid, only thing I don't like is the cheek pads seems a bit more snug than other brands I've tried- although this probably isn't a bad thing from a safety point. Good buy at £50 too..got it on sale.

At least they will loosen slightly with wear, I have the HJC RPHA-10 "Ben Spies" Monster Replica its a very good lid and comfy too.

Buying a Ben Spies replica is kinda like saying 'crash into me here'. He must have used up all his good luck in a past life, or something...

It was the monster livery I was after not so much the Spies replica. I got it for a very good price too. I would have got it even if Stephen Hawkings was on it.....:D
