Patrick Merrimack,  NH Sy-Max II Helmet The helmet looks great but there are some definite pros and cons. Pros: Cool fighter pilot like sunscreen that is easy to deploy and retract. Sharp styling. Easy to remove interior for cleaning and installing Chatterbox equipment. Easy lift front section Cons: Lots of wind noise at higher speeds. Clear Visor is tricky to open; you need to flip it up from the tap on the left hand side. Air flow is not as good as expected.

Chris Daugherty Fayetteville,  GA Buy it Big! It is a great helmet! I love the Helmet; Glad I read the reviews and bought the XXL. The last F.F. HJC I bought was an XXL and was a little loose, With the SY-Max II, it is snug. Lots of airflow through the helmet, I won't be wearing this one this winter, but it is great for the summer. The sun visor is the main reason I even looked at the helmet, I wear transition glasses but the ultraviolet protection in most shields removes the reason for the glasses to darken, leaving no protection against the brightness; it is a good tint and I get a lot of compliments and questions about it.

Robert Neff Vinton,  IA Sy-Max II Having put one of these on at a local Honda dealer, I knew enough to get the next larger size than I typically wear. Other than that, the helmet has been exactly what I needed ... a way to get more tint in front of my eyes when driving directly into the sun. I always wear sunglasses as my eyes are very sensitive to light. So on my original Sy-Max, I had to not only wear sunglasses, but I also had to put on one of their tinted visors. Worked great ... except when the sun went down. I would take off the sunglasses, but I still had to look through the tinted visor at night. This internal tinted visor is a great idea and works flawlessly. One button push and it retracts back up into the helmet. The helmet is not all that quiet in wind. But I have no experience with other brands so I don't know if others are any less noisy. Bottom line, I love this thing for its features.

Herb Pitzman Woodstock,  IL HJC Sy-Max II Modular Helmet I had the previous model of this helmet which I liked very much. I wore an extra large which I felt was to large so I ordered a large in the sy-max II. I could not wear this one at all; the new helmets seem to run small. I re-ordered an x-large and it is smaller than the previous x-large. I like the features of this helmet, but after 1-1/2 to 2 hours you want to take this off. It seems to bother me in the front of the helmet where the liner is seamed. I did not have that problem with the older model. We are long distance tourers so helmet features and comfort are very important. I still like the helmet and hope that it maybe breaks in a little more. The sun shield is a nice feature however it not as dark as a good pair of sun glasses.

F Wilmar Tahoe City,  CA HJC Symax II A very comfortable helmet. The slide down sun glasses/visor means I can ride with a clear rather than tinted visor. A bit more airflow noise than my old Symax helmet, but other features more than compensate.

Doug Flower Mound,  TX HJC - Sy-Max II Modular Helmet After having this helmet for about a month now I wanted to share my experience. Here’s my opinion: Finish (mine is silver) -beautiful, smooth, even, deep metallic finish. Seals and rubber are straight and tight. Wind noise - not perfect, but about what you would expect for a flip up helmet. Fit- definitely runs small. The chart put my head at a large, I bought an XL. It still is snug and getting better as it is breaking in. Definitely get a size up. The chin area also is a little snug. I can stick out my chin a bit and touch the inner face area. I would like a little more room there. Weight- Not bad I would say. My old Bell full face feels heavier. No pain in the neck after an hour at a time. Not bad considering all the moving parts crammed in there. All in all, nice helmet, nice features, good fit (if a little small) and finish, and there isn't anything out there now that is quite like it. I'm very happy with it and would definitely recommend it.

Chas Jacksonville,  FL Great Helmet! Have always used modular helmets, and I found this one to be of great quality and value. The integrated sun shade is great! Could be a little darker, and air flow isn't as great as other helmets, but for the money and features, this is a tough helmet to beat!

ERIK SMITTLE THORNVILLE,  OH BULK DELIVERY DRIVER Great looking helmet, really like the slide down sun shield behind main visor! I live in the country and ride down roads that are in and out of the woods. This is a problem with dark shields or sun glasses. With this helmet you can slide down the sun shield; just hit the button and it pops out of sight. Great feature!
