Skid lids

Christ that was a deal! I wore a HJC to Morrocco and back and to be honest it peed all over the Arai I had at the time

Well I went with my gut and bought the HJC RPHA-11.
Got it at an unbelievable steal of a price..... Sportsbikeshop are selling them for £360 (£450 for the Monster graphic one) I got mine from ghostbikes for £172!!!

Turned up today and I'm very pleased.
Read reviews beforehand and took the advice of going 1 size up and I'm glad I did, I'm usually a M but the L fits perfectly.
It's beautifully light (1300g), the vents are all adjustable should you only want to open them slightly or open just the right side but not the left etc etc (No clue why)
Also in the box was a free pinlock and dark smoke visor ( rrp£50) which was a very nice touch.
Obviously not taken it out on the road yet but will report back when I've put a few miles on it ?

Nice,that,does the interior come out to wash?

Yeah the interior is fully removable and has that emergency quick release thingy so in the event of an accident the paramedics can remove the cheek pads out of the helmet while your still wearing it, making it safe and easy to remove the whole thing without disturbing your neck etc

Yeah I have read plenty of reviews where people have said it's comparable to their (considerably) more expensive Arai helmets in terms of build quality and comfort.
I'm sure it wouldn't be as good as their top end ones but it's gonna be more than fine for me. It's track approved too so will be using it on my next fling round Cadwell ?

Well I can happily say that I finally managed to get out and test the new helmet. I've got to say the first impression and stand out feature is the ventilation, It's amazing! Its so good I actually had to close some of the vents off after 10 mins cause my head and face were getting cold. It does have 5 separate vents in the front so I suppose I shouldn't be surprised but compared to my old Shark it's outstanding.
My only gripes with it right now are the fact it's really hard to get on and off due to a massive chin curtain (but that will be coming off in warmer weather) and it seems a bit noisier than the shark was but nothing ear plugs won't fix
All in all I'm very happy with it and would recommend anyone to at least give them a look before your next helmet purchase
