Also love the one-touch Integrated SunShield: Smoke-tinted 3-stage adjustable SunShield.
It deploys "quickly and easily". While riding out around Moganshan last weekend with euphonius, we rode through a few tunnels, and with just a tap to the top of the helmet, the visor retracted, and then could easily slide back down on the way out of the tunnel.
One issue I have is related to the built-in recess for an optional wireless intercom. When riding at high-speeds (i.e. on the expressways) it is way too noisy. After checking the HJC website, I now see that there is supposed to be a cover on the recess (see photo) - but I was told by the shop they don't come with one. I'll see if I can source one from HJC directly, but I'm a bit confused why mine didn't come with this cover. :confused1:
Threadbump!
Motokai,
I'm about to pull the trigger on the exact same helmet, which is selling for 616 RMB in a shop up near Scootertown. It's a great fit, which most of the modulars I've tried are not, and seems to be a good package of features.
How's yours holding up after more than six months of use? Comfort? Quality? Noise levels? Stuff you don't like? Did you ever find the cover for the little BT hole?
thanks!

This guy dropped his bike in his driveway, just moving it into his garage. After brain surgery, he ended up with a metal plate in his head. Hope this is not considered mongering, just a reminder..

It is a good reminder. Skull of humans is like a shell of a chicken egg. It gets easily crushed or cracked.
