It gives off odd reflections in the sunlight, better than fogging up though. Hjc RPHA 70 for me. Only because the cheaper HJC IS-17 seems rounder and doesn't fit as well. Damn.

Tripletrouble Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 (edited) There is the true pinlock with a good soft rubber seal. Mine came with a different brand, the seal was hard. Maybe check what you've got ? Edited April 18, 2019 by Tripletrouble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fj09newbie Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 HJC RPHA 70 ST, with Pinlock. only thing I have with the pinlock is cleaning it. and not having fuzz on it. Pinlock doesn't fog at all 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will continue to experiment. Love the RPHA 70 otherwise. I had the same thing with mine. It seemed to me that the "Skipfog" insert included seemed to hit the shields release mechanism. There would be some distortion where the insert contacts the shield. However, after sitting for a couple of weeks, due to our lovely spring weather, it seems to be fine now. I was even out on a cold night and experienced no issues..... Still, I wish it was a better fit, or an actual Pinlock insert right out of the box.... Edited April 23, 2019 by getpetey Add to post..

Premium Member 1moreroad Posted April 26, 2019 Premium Member Share Posted April 26, 2019 Trying to retire my Scorpion EXO T1200. Excellent 1st impression. 3 years in, I'm replacing it. It feels worn out. The padding is worn out. The air pump system to size the cheek pads leaks air. I get a headache after about an hour on my forehead. The protective styrofoam is wearing noticeably from the inside. The sun visor scratches ridiculously easily. The liner is frayed in places. The plastic in the little sleeve around the helmet strap is cracked. My previous two Shoei's never had these problems. My first helmet, an HJC, didn't have Shoei longevity either. It vents pretty well around the top of the head. Mediocre at the chin. Noise was similar to the Shoei X-11 which was never considered a quiet helmet. I'm replacing it with a Klim TK1200 based on online reviews. I only find it online (or 300+ miles away). Ordered directly through Klim. Rated a similar head shape. Hopefully it fits. Otherwise I'll be looking at Schuberth C3 Pros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeepSix Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 I ride in an AGV Sport Modular. It's a fantastic helmet but a little louder than I'd prefer. That said, I have very sensitive ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlambke19 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Shoei RF-1200 Had a Shoei Qwest before this and love how that brand fits my head. Ignore the price tag - I bought mine in January at the bike show and paid less. 🙂 The matte finishes on helmets has come a long way - they are so simple to keep clean.

sphyon Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Shoei Neotek 2, hands down the most comfortable and well made helmet that I have owned. I have a number of Arai full faces that are also great but the Neotek is my go to! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cspradlin Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Another HJC RPHA 70 ST here! Mine came with an actual Pinlock branded pinlock visor, though. No problems there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

countersteer Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Shoei Neotec. It's the only modular I've found that fits my head. Now that I've had modular, I'[ll never go back. Comes with internal sun screen and a pinlock shield. Love the former, don't like the latter. Lacks clarity. Biggest problem is the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recently did a 7 day ride with a buddy who just got a new Shoei Neotec, he didn't stop raving about the helmet the entire 7 days. ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Shoei NeoTec 2. I did X11 for awhile then tried a Multi Tec and was hooked on modulars. It has been Shoei modulars ever since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimmie Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Scuberth helmet for me. Having a pin head "very small" I find it difficult to get a helmet that fits comfortably. I've had several shard helmets which I have been very happy with but the Scuberth is sensational. The only thing it is missing though is a pinlock, which I will ensure I get on the next one. They aren't cheep though so I have to wait until they come on special here is Australia.
