| Modular I said I would never get a modular helmet. Well, I lied to myself becuase I now own this one in Black: Welcome to HJC
It's an HJC. I'm not sure if I'm gonna like it or not just yet, but hey, I needed something else to play with. |

| Re: Modular There is no wind-noise. The venting leaves a lot to be desired, but it is extremely hot outside. I don't think my hair has enough ventillation right now.
The helmet itself could be made a lot better over all. It's very flimsy feeling, but that may be because of the fact that it's a flip-up helmet. I don't like NOT having the chin padding I'm used to in my other helmets. There is absolutely no way to place a breath guard on the chin bar either.
The helmet is extremely comfortable however.
I've worn it once. I prefer the ICON. |

I have yet to find a qualilty other than the paint that I disagree with. I feel that the paint could be better, but then again I'm a perfectionist. |

They take a beating around here, but it wouldn't have SNELL rating if it wasn't earned.
My two ICON helmets have been the most comfortable helmets I've owned. |

| Re: Modular My Mainframe Icon is Snell M 2000 DOT rated.
And I wouldn't consider a mobile home. If I wanted a house on wheels I would live in my truck. |
