Other People say on their reviews that this a noisy helmet, it lets to much wind in, It's over priced, ect. But let me tell you, I've had this helmet for 6 months and this is a great Helmet. I normally wear a small (Hat size 7) but I had to get an extra small to get a proper fit. The FS-10 does let some air in, but that's nothing that a chin curtian can't take care of. I ride year round in Arkansas and this thing never fogs up in the summer, or in the rain. It barely fogs up in the winter when it's below 30. They did a great job on designing the breath guard for this helmet. The sun shield works fine, but it wouldn't hurt for it to be a little darker. and as for the noise, I have never rode with a "quiet helmet". I've ridden Shoei, Shark, Bell, Scorpion, Icon, and of course HJC. Every helmet that I have ever tried has had wind and road niose. With this helmet the noise is noticeable with the shield up, but when it's closed it't not that bad (you can even lock the face shield down, Which is nice for high speeds). The padding is very comortable, it feels like a safe helmet, has good features. It has an MSRP of $259.99 on the HJC website, and I think it is fairly priced.

I got this helmet few years ago, after my nice shoei helmet. I didn't want to pay that much money, so I saw this helmet with all the hitech stuff, built in sunshade. But regardless of what I do, it let's in wind like anything even at 30, 40 mph from below. I even have all the extra guards attached to it and doesn't help. I used my shoei for years and never had any trouble. Something is wrong with the design. It's not the helmet doesn't fit correctly. It has a good tight fit. But the aerodynamics of it is not right.

I tried to sell this back on craigslist, and no one would buy! Stuck with it. So now even in summer, I had to put a lot of stuffing under my chin and cover it and it looks funny, and it's hot and sweaty! If this is what their top quality helmet is like, then I don't even want to think of the ones that aren't. Too bad other top brand helmets are expensive, but it's so much worth it.

I hope the manufacturers, put in a bit more effort in making it a bit aero dymanic and make sure it doesn't let it so much air from underneath.
