Returned Helmet
I used the size chart provided and the helmet was to tight. This being the case I should not have had to pay for return shipping. My return was processed in about a week and my refund was posted promptly to my credit card. I ordered the next size larger helmet, life is good.

hjc is max solid modular helmet
The appearance is nice, the fit is snug. But I wear glasses and that interferes with the sun visor. All-in-all the helmet is great, living in the Midwest it allows me to ride more into the season. I can see clearly and my side to side view is great. For the price it is well worth it.

HJC-IS-Max Solid Modular Helmet
I have never owned a full face helmet before purchasing the HJC-IS-MAX. I Bouhgt it for a cross country trip. Being able to wear my prescription glasses while riding was a big plus. There was also the added bonus of the integral sunglasses. I was very happy with the the comfort and fit. Traveling at highway-plus speeds for hours at a time was very enjoyable while wearing this helmet.

Great Value!
I love this helmet for the convenience it offers, but comes with one annoying problem. I love that I can flip up the face without taking off the helmet, great at gas stations for fill ups and quick stops. I had to return a medium for the large. The measurements said I was a medium, but it was way too tight for comfort. The built-in visor is great, no more fiddling with sunglasses. The one annoying problem I have is the noise I get at speeds up above 50mph. I ride a Suzuki Bandit and the wind noise can be deafening! It comes from where the seam from the face meets the rest of the helmet. I'm sure if you have a bike with better wind protection from your windshield, it will be less of an issue. After one long ride, I had ringing in my ears for a bit. I wear earplugs now, so that solved that problem. All in all, great helmet.

Great Helmet
I really like this helmet, the fit is perfect. I am glad there are optional settings for the sun visor (for large noses I bet). Get alot of good comments on the color and style. I send everyone to your website because every time I make a purchase it is always right and on time.

HJC IS Max Solid Modular Helmet
Great helmet! Like the simple features (need only one hand to raise chin area) and easy to lower the sun visor (though sun visor sometimes "touches" my nose ... didn't think I had such a big nose?!). Still prefer sunglasses with wind visor open, but on some partly cloudy/sunny days, the visor is a nice feature. Also like traditional D-ring closure strap. Great vents too!

HJC-IS-MAX Helmet Like It
Bought one for myself and loved it so much, I bought one for my wife. Great fit, looks, and features. I use the tented retractable sun shield to block the afternoon sun. It does need to be a little darker. The only other issue I have with it is the poor venting. I have to ride with the face shield open a little to get air into the helmet. Over all I like this helmet.

Exactly what I needed
Upon opening the box, I found that the helmet was exactly what I expected for looks. After trying it on, there was some glue or other substance on the sun visor. After removing the visor and cleaning it, I've had no other problems. The airflow is great as compared with my previous helmet. The vision is wonderful and I've never had any problems getting the helmet to close.

Awesome helmet
The features on this are so nice. I love the built in retractable sun glasses. The versatility of the flip up face or lens is great. If I am too hot, just flip up the face or if I need to talk to someone quickly, I just flip up the lens without having to take off the whole helmet. It fits snug but not uncomfortably so. The 2 air vents work great. I have been riding with full gear in 80-90 degree temps, full sun and high humidity. No problem getting overheated. This fall the anti-fog lens and breath shield will be available so I can use this helmet for snowmobiling as well. DOT approved and well worth the price. Happy it came in white- for visibility- not easy to find in helmet selections from other companies.

Great hat for the price
Great fit, I used the head circumference chart for sizing. I have a small head, hat size 7- 71/8. Size small fits perfectly. The visor could be a little thicker as it tends to deform a bit when lifting from full closed position. The modular aspect works well; the helmet does not feel heavy to me. The helmet works great with glasses. If I position my head just right I can feel the air moving through. I am very pleased. I was going to spend double the price for another brand. The IS-MAX is an excellent value.

Fair valued Lid
Dick H. from Birmingham MI. pretty much echoes my thoughts about the helmet described here. I find it is quite noisy at highway speed but ear plugs tone that down a bit so it makes the trip bearable. Venting the visor is poor on cold mornings and I find I have to leave the visor open until the fog clears. It would be a nice feature if room was provided to slip glasses in along the sides but the helmet is flexible enough to pull apart making this task fairly easy. This feature is something I found on the “Adventure” style helmets but they come at a hefty price so I'll put up with what I got. Not a big deal. One last thing regarding visibility is something I've had to get used to as I have always worn an open face helmet so I find it a bit limited. The trade off is worth it though because of the added protection the full face offers.

HJC IS-Max Solid Modular Helmet
This is the best helmet I've ever had. Love the features and the low weight. Helmet is built very good with great features. Love the visor that slides down. Also love that the helmet comes down past the chin, a lot of the others I tried did not. Also the helmet came quite quickly.

Will get another
Helmet is good and the sun shield works great. I did not know it had a couple settings for it till I got it at the house. Had to ride in the cool rain and the face shield did fog up a little. Removing the sun shield is easy if it will ever need replacing. All in all, I think it is worth it. I will be getting another.

Would buy again
I've returned to motorcycling after a 30 year absence. The helmet seems a bit noisier than I remember from the past, but I don't have anything current to compare it to. Fit is good. Love the flip-up feature. With the chin bar up, I can spread the sides and put the helmet on without ripping my glasses off my face. That was a problem with an old full-face type that I used to have. The sun shade helps, but is not as dark as sun glasses. I tend to use it in the morning on the way to work when it's bright, but I'm not riding into the sun. In bright daylight, I use sunglasses. I can't tell much difference between having the vents open or closed.

Very nice helmet for the price.
Like the retractable sun shade although I agree with another reviewer about the sun shade could be darker.
Very satisfied with purchase
Saved close to thirty dollars compared to local retail store.

Fits well, comfortable, sun shield is a great and important safety feature. A lot of value for the money.

HJC-IS max feel and fit
The helmet is great and I love it, except that wind noise is terrible. As soon as I reach above 55, the noise picks up dramatically. It's so loud the com system is overwhelmed, not by the wind at the mic, but by the noise inside the helmet. I tried two different XL helmets and they are the same. I am going back to my full helmet at higher speed. As for this one, it's too late to return, I will use it for casual ride.

Convenient but noisy
I like my new HJC, the convenience of the modular design gives me the full face protection I want while allowing communications with passengers, gas station attendants etc easy. Airflow thru the top opening I found effective unlike my HJC CL15 which has no air flow. With the vent closed though I found the flip down shades vibrate causing a lot of noise, adding to the fair amount coming thru the chin area.

This is a great helmet I like the features very much, it is comfortable and visibility is great. I think it is a great value over more expensive helmets I look at with less features.
Paul Burch

HJC IS-Max
Nice helmet for the price, but I think the flip down sunshield is 'way over rated. I much prefer a full-tinted shield, which seems to be currently unavailable for this helmet. Full tinted shields have the added benefit of keeping the helmet cooler during the summer, and the flip-down sunshade doesn't fit over glasses well.

HJC IS-MAX modular helmet
I've had the helmet about a month but haven't worn it much. The times that I have, fit seemed very good, it was reasonably quiet and the venting seemed surprisingly good considering that the upper vents are just two 1/4 diameter holes. I tried on a Symax II at a shop to determine size and the IS-MAX seems to fit the same. So far, so good.

Nice helmet
My favorite part is the built in sunshade!!! The helmet runs a teeny bit smaller than helmets I've owned in the past, but it is a comfortable, nicely made product. I recommend it!

Best full coverage helmet for glasses wearers I have ever used. Put on glasses and head cover, and with chin bar in up position, put helmet on. No discomfort from glasses! Comfortable from day 1. Installed headset quite easily thanks to online directions w/pictures.

Helmet
I have been well pleased with the helmet. For the price, it would be hard to beat. The consumer reports that I read before purchasing were spot on in their description. The sun visor could be a bit darker as I still have to wear sunglasses in the bright Alaska sun. The fit is great. The main visor is a bit difficult to move in the lowest position, bit certainly manageable. I really like the modular flip-up feature as it is very handy. I'm happy with the helmet and feel well protected with it.

HJC - IS-MAX Solid Modular Helmet
I have worn a modular for about 6 years, and I thought it fit well, until I tried on the IS-MAX. It was snug and fit my head very well. The snugness will probably fade a bit after some wear, but it sure feels good! It goes on and off with relative ease. It will be easier after some wear time. My Harley head set mic fit onto the rim very easy. The removable liner surprised me. My head set earphones fit in under the liner ear piece. The wires all fit under the liner and do not have to route around the rim of the helmet. The bar raises easily, as does the face shield. The retractable sun shield is awesome. I had duct tape on my old helmet to block the sun. I think this is a tad better! My wife has the same opinion of hers. The helmet is great. It was a good buy and at a decent price at Super-Store. This was my 2nd purchase from them, but will not be my last. I will definitely be back!

Great Helmet
This helmet is everything I had hoped it would be. The fit is fine, everything works as advertised and it looks great. The built-in sun shield is really handy - I'm always forgetting my sunglasses! Yes, there is a little more wind noise than with my full-face helmet but this one is so much more convenient. It's an even better deal when you consider how reasonable the price is.

Good helmet
I've only spent a few hundred miles in this helmet but it is proving to be quite comfortable and fairly quiet. This is my first modular helmet so I can't compare it to other similar helmets. However, this unit is a tad noisier than full face helmets I've had in the past. It is not excessively noisy by any means, though.

HJC IS-MAX
This helmet is the great deal that it appears to be. It's feature-rich with practical innovations and good quality. The weight is nice & light, the fit is comfortable and accurate. The viewing area is really large, best I've had in a helmet and it doesn't fog up easily. It's no noisier than my solid full helmet and the modular portion works smoothly. The built-in sunshade visor is effective and cleverly easy-to-use.
