beautiful helmet
I just wore this on a ride for the first time...it wasn't a long ride but it was nice and cool (it was very humid out) with all those vents. They're adjustable so you can close them, which is great. The versatility of this helmet will make it well worth it. I purchased a silver finish which looks very nice. It comes with a nice bag that I'm sure will minimize scratches when I place it in my trunk. Overall a great buy. Follow the sizing chart and suggestions for a perfect fit!

Excellent fit and easy use for military while going on and off post.

Ok... So you make a Flip Up helmet that doesn't fit the speakers for a headset?
The helmet fit a little tight when I first got it but it stretched out after a while. I tried putting my headset in for my Goldwing but there is no place to put the speakers! When I had to use the cheek pads from the HJC flip up helmet that is too small for me so the speakers would fit.

Good helmet for the price
Been using this helmet for about a week - I like that I can put the chin bar up while riding at low speeds to cool off a little. Easy to flip it back down when getting on the highway.

This full face helmet has a very comfortable fit - snug enough without feeling tight or confining. The flip up feature is a little stiff and difficult to operate while riding; otherwise I am very satisfied with it.

Best helmet for Glasses wearers
Full face protection with lift up chin allows me to put helmet on while wearing my glasses. Feels comfortable while riding and allows me to wear helmet while stopped as I can lift chin to talk with my friends.

Good helmet for the price.
I have had this helmet for a month and have no problems to report. It fits well and I have taken this on a road trip to CA. It is a little louder than I expected. But all said it is a good helmet for the price and as usual MS and their shipping ROCKS. I will always order from MS as they are the best:)

Solid compromise
I wear prescription glasses and full-face helmet is a pain in the back-side to put on and take off with glasses, so I always rode with a 3/4 helmet. Then I saw the flip up lids. Nice compromise. I can leave my glasses on when puttin' the lid on and off. Visor is bigger than my old full-face so I have better peripheral vision too.

Very happy with the helmet. Fit is very good and the modular style suits me. You do not have to remove your glasses to put on the helmet which is good. It is somewhat hot during the heat of the summer.

so far so good
This is my first helmet, so I really don’t have much to compare it to, other than the helmets from MSF. I like this helmet much more than those from MSF. For one thing, it was cleaner. Another thing is, the helmets from MSF felt like they were crushing my head... quite a tight squeeze. Anyway, my experience with this helmet has been good so far. The fit is comfortable. I don't really notice the wind too much... when I ride, I expect it to be noisy. Haven’t had the helmet too long, so I can't say much about durability. The visor does get fogged up, but it’s primarily when the bike is going really slow.

HJC - CL-Max Helmet - a very nice helmet
Great product and value, not extremely expensive and offers unique options, i.e. flip up front.

Great Helmet
The helmet fit a little tight around the cheeks when I first tried it on, but within one day of riding, it is one of the most comfortable helmets I've worn. I especially like to be able to flip the face up when I need to talk or when I've stopped for a minute to cool off.

I have found this helmet to be everything I wanted. The fit (helmet size chart is accurate), style, performance and appearance are excellent. The helmet shell is larger than I expected but I believe the helmet meets and exceeds all of my expectations.

HJC Modular Helmet
Good price, comfy and doesn't weigh a lot on the head. Good things. So here are some of the things I don't like…
After some use now the flip up squeaks a little bit and it wants to drop down. When I'm crouched in super tuck mode on my sport bike you can see the top of the helmet and it obstructs my view partially, and the visor fogs up bad at night especially - in colder weather.

HJC CL Max helmet
So far, this is working out to be an excellent helmet for the money—as have all the HJC helmets I’ve owned. It’s really comfortable, and the flip up front opens easily, which I love. I’m not as crazy about the ratchet on the visor, which is so stiff it feels (and sounds) like you’re going to break the thing off whenever you try to open it all the way. It does seem to be freeing up with use, though, as it’s already better than when it was brand new. Note: I needed one size larger on this model th

HJC-Max Helmet
Nice helmet. I too wear glasses, and the flip up is much more compatible with eyeglass wear. The shield is a little difficult to open by itself, but the flip up makes up for it. Nice fit, comfortable & nice field of vision. My only complaint was that there were some scratches on the face shield when I got it. They were under the protective film, so it obviously came from the factory that way, and I didn't have time to return or exchange it.

Worth the price and more.
I bought this helmet because I wear glasses, and I'm here to tell all of us 4 eyed riders that this is the helmet for us. It's extremely comfortable, and the flip up allows me to keep my glasses on all the time. I ride on I-95 a lot, and this lid is no more or less noisy than my Icon Mainframe. (Also a good buy) It has a wider field of vision, and it keeps my head cool in the Florida heat. Good buy.

HJC CL-Max Helmet
First flip up helmet, very comfortable despite large skull! 7-5/8" hat size is a XL for me in this helmet. Vents work well considering the intense sunshine of Florida summers. Would prefer a velcro vs. a snap for the free running end of the chin strap. I wear earplugs and the helmet is pretty quiet. (hey, it is a motorcycle not a Lincoln Town Car)

Nice Helmet
I purchased this helmet after using an HJC AC-11 as a skid plate. This is a nicely designed helmet and I love the flip front. I find it much more user friendly since I wear glasses. The front flip area allows me to put on my glasses and seat them properly without having to reach through the smaller opening of a visor. I have noticed on two occasions a high pitch sound when there is wind coming from the side of the bike.

Excellent helmet. Nice to be able to open to buy gas, etc. without removing helmet. Lightweight for its size. Very comfortable. It's a winner!

great deal
This helmet is great bang for the buck. Shape and fit is actually better than the older Symax design (for me). Only annoyance: the face shield with its new design is very difficult to open.
