True Chad, you have to do your homework! Research and ask questions! Jim

What exactly makes HJC helmets marginal?

And if you are so concerned with safety,then I'm sure you also wear a Hans device?

Actually I don't wear a hans. Without a proper race seat (which NHRA won't allow us in stock), it would not be very effective as it uses the belts to secure it and the padding in a stock seat has too much give.

And I said marginal, when I should have said lower end. I've never been impressed with the quality of them.

"Since 1971, HJC has specialized in manufacturing motorcycle helmets exclusively. The combination of this extensive specialized manufacturing experience, innovative ideas, and reasonable pricing resulted in HJC’s success in worldwide markets. It is HJC’s continual goal to provide high quality, comfortable, and reasonably priced helmet to motorcyclists around the world.

As a direct result of this mission, since 1992, HJC has succeeded in maintaining the status as the #1 helmet brand in North America. (Refer to Motorcycle Industry Magazine 1992-present) More importantly, motorcyclists worldwide make HJC their brand of choice. "

Thanks for the offer Jim but I think the HJC will do the job it is intended for.

If the price is your main concern I will purchase a new, good quality helmet for you. No, I'm not kidding. Send me your size and your address and I will get you a real SA grade helmet. Let me know. Jim

Don't worry about Phil. He can pound nails with his forehead and only wears a helmet because it looks racy...
