John Hafer Winchester,  CA HJC SY-Max II Modular Helmet The helmet fits great, is well made and looks great. My only complaint is that I wanted a 'flat' black color and it was not available. Anyway, I have a comfortable helmet for the cold mornings.

George JACKSONVILLE,  FL Almost the Best of Both Worlds I like an open face helmet in the summer, short trips, good weather, and easy to put on over my glasses. I like a full face for winter, long trips, bad weather, but a real pain to put on over my glasses!! I've had a number each type, alternating between open and full. I eventually ended up buying two helmets. When it was time for a new helmet[s], I was a bit skeptical about buying a hybrid. It has, however, turned out to be a very good compromise and definitely cheaper than buying two helmets! Excellent value for the price. Love the flip down sun visor!!

Glenn St Louis,  MO HJC-SyMax II Mod Helmet I really like this helmet because of the integrated sun visor. It doesn't go as low as I would like but does provide additional eye protection from the sun. Best when used with a pair of sunglasses. The flip up visor works well and stays firmly seated when riding. Helmet is a little noisier than my Arai but probably due to the visor release on the top. Good ventilation. Good fit and finish for the price. This is my first mod helmet and I really like that feature.

Brian Burke Las Vegas,  NV HJC - Sy-Max II Modular Helmet I had a non-modular HJC that hurt my ears. This one is molded around the ears so its more comfortable, but it doesn't hold to my head as well. The air flow adjuster on the top rattles when in the closed position. Wind noise is a little more pronounced compared to the non-modular HJC. Modular function works real well with either hand even with gloves on. The internal sun visor has a third position that is used for removal but I need to use so it comes down far enough to actually cover the sun. I replaced the clear face shield with a slightly tinted one and the net result is good enough to stop wearing my Oakley’s under the helmet. Riding directly into the sun is still a bear so I am considering tinting the sun visor more to get more blockage. Overall I am very pleased with the helmet and I would buy another one. The price is about half of comparable helmets.

Tim Coshocton,  OH Great Helmet! This is the best helmet I have ever had. It is comfortable, quiet, and looks great. The flip-up feature is great! No wind drags at all, even when I turn my head and that in really unusual for full helmets and was a pleasant surprise! The only shortcoming it has for me, the internal sunshield in the lowest position rubs against my nose. I do have a slightly larger than normal nose, but, not big enough that the shield should be hitting the sunshield. Besides that, the best full helmet I have ever owned!

Mark Sarasota,  FL Great helmet I was initially leery of a modular helmet. However, this helmet is better than I expected. The fit and visibility are great. The air flow is not perfect but is adequate. Being able to get some heat relief by using the easy lift is priceless in the Florida weather. The look of the helmet is sharp. This is another fine HJC product. By the way, Motorcycle Superstore has a fair price and the helmet arrived quickly and in excellent condition.

Michael Cheeseman Gander,  NL HJC Sy-Max II Modular Helmet The helmet fits really good and very comfortable. The sun visor is easy to put down & lock in place. The visor retracts very quickly with the push of the release button. Air flow was very good, on hot days my head felt cool from the air flow. The field of vision for the helmet is really good. I also installed an headset into the helmet and it works very well. Overall my wife & I are very pleased with the helmet.

Barry Bearden Pollock Pines,  CA HJC-Sy-max modular II Got the Sy-max II about 3 weeks ago. The Fit & finish very good, comfortable and easy to use, quiet for a modular. All the features are easy to use and work fine. Inner tinted shield works really well. Sizing seemed normal. I'd buy it again.

David Dixon,  IL Noisier than original symax I have worn the symax II for 5 months and find that the fit is good. The flip up chion bar operation is smooth. I find though that the shield hard to open. The sun shield is not dark enough, I wear sun glasses under it. I hear a clicking or scratching noise that makes you think that there is something wrong with you cycle. It turns out that the sun shield release button is vibrating causing the noise. The symax II is also noisier than the orginal symax.

Brent Saco,  ME Lots of wind noise for $$$$ As a first time rider I really have no comparison. But it seems like a lot of wind noise for such an expensive helmet. Maybe it's because it's modular I don't know but that is the biggest complaint. Other than that I love the build in sun visor.
