I had to change out the cheek padding to a thinner pad and I had to cut down the ridiculously long strap but other than that I am very happy with it. Be aware that it has lots of venting that does not close so for winter riding somewhere it gets cold (not here) you might have to duct tape over a vent or two to stay warm. Helmet's fit and finish do not measure up to the big dollar helmets but the screen offers very good visibility, the peak is just long enought to offer excellent shade for the eyes and does not catch the wind at all, and I find it very comfortable now. I would buy it again if it got stolen.

thanks,

Todd

I as looking through a catalog last night as some some Arai helmets for $899  :shock:

I gotta know.  What the heck does a $900 helmet have that my HJC CL-SP doesn't have?!

A totally different feel, that is if you have an Arai shaped head, my Quantum F was lovely then they dicked around with the sizes and shapes so now I have no idea which is the nearest to what I had.

I have a HJC Symax II and a Zox Azuma.  Both are pretty good.  I would buy either again.  I have no issues with the quality of either.
