"Excellent helmet and very good customer service at HJC" 2009-02-14By
Eric (Thailand)
I've had an HJC Symax helmet for about a year and a half now, and have been very happy with it. It's protected me well in two falls - (1) I went down very hard on concrete at about 30 mph when a large dog came out of nowhere and ran into my back wheel (!) - my head and the helmet hit the road on the right front side; I'm sure the helmet's chin bar saved me from a broken jaw, and I didn't even have a headache afterwards. (2) I crashed going downhill on a steep dirt track (tires got caught in a rut), and landed face down; my face and the helmet landed on my chin, but no injury or soreness. The helmet is well-padded and well-ventilated, and the paint has retained its glossy shine. The flip-top option is extremely convenient, and necessary for me, as where I live (Thailand) there are a lot of vehicles that pollute badly, and I sometimes need to use a smog mask. I've had one problem - the plastic lever that opens the flip-top broke recently when I was opening the helmet. HJC customer service was excellent. First they sent me the replacement part for free. Then they answered my emails promptly and helpfully when I needed help figuring out how to get inside the chin section to replace the part. One other thing - I've noticed that at times the chin bar will click when closing it, but is not fully locked in place, and needs an extra tug (which causes a second click) to fully secure it. This is not happening now that I've replaced the chin bar, so my guess is that it was caused by a loose screw that attached the chin bar, causing one side to close and click slightly before the other side. I'd give this helmet 4 and a half stars (but there are no half-star rating increments available with Amazon).
