    HJC IS-16

    Anybody have one of these helmets? Sounds like they're getting very good reviews. Let me know what you think $140. from newenough.com

    I have and it's fine.
    The inner shield will be appearing on all helmets in a few years, it's a great feature.

    I'm getting ready to purchase one for my wife's B-day. I'll let you know how she likes it when she gets it and starts using it.

    I almost bought one on Saturday. It was not Snell approved and the salesman did not know for sure, but thought not, if it was ok for track use. After I left thought i could just use my old Shoei

    On helmets, we drive an old jelopy car in enduro races some times. 50 mph stuff max. The track WILL NOT let you use a motorcycle helmet. Has to be car.

    Nice helmets for sure. I didnt see they are Snell approved either? I really like the inner smoked visor but question the durability of the spring that retracts it..

    Has lift at higher speeds

    I've been using the HJC IS-16 for a few months now and I love it! It fits great & looks good in flat black. I really like the sun shield

    Only problem is above 90 it feels like its got wings mounted on it... it's got some serious lift. Has anyone else experienced this? or know of a way to combat it?

    i really like the inner tinted shield, and they sell different replacements for it too...
    i found out that they can't get a snell approval because of the way the inner shield fits inside the helmet. also that the helmet has to have a spilt in the top for the "button" to retract it.
    i'm not knockin the helmet, heck i wanted one and had a really good price on it, but after seeing it and realizing the split in the top. i think i'm gonna pass.
