I've owned several HJC helmets over the years and others such as Shoei and X Lite.This is best so far. Very comfortable, light at just 1400gms which is important to me and reasonably quiet. Not a cheap helmet at £400 but great quality. There's really no downside.
Shoei Neotec 3 - Anthracite This is my Third Neotec and delivers everything I have come to expect of the brand. It has only had a couple of outings but I find it comfortable and pretty quiet. The staff at the Preston Branch were very good at making sure the fit was correct and were prepared to swap out any of the liners to find a better fit if required, it was not required and i left with the original liners. It is an expensive lid but the quality makes it worth it. The Anthracite, I understand, is not a popular colour but when it was taken out of the box in the shop a number of people commented on how smart it looked, worth seeing in the flesh, so to speak.
Shoei GT Air 3 - Discipline TC6 This helmet is perfect for me. The fit is lovely, even with my glasses on. The liner is soft and comfortable, I didn't need to break it in, it didn't have any tight, pressure spots. The sun visor works really well. I would have liked a double D strap, but that's just personal preference.
HJC i91 - Arven Orange Brilliant helmet. Fantastic bright tangareen orange, a colour that can be seen by other road users. Fits like a glove. Having the ability to flip the front section is lovely when stopping to chat or enjoy the surroundings without needing to keep removing the helmet. I would definitely buy one again.
SENA Phantom Mesh Intercom Helmet - Gloss White For the price it’s amazing value and a quality helmet, the comms system built is in so much slicker and the sound is awesome, highly recommend
Airoh Commander - Boost Matt Red / Blue Really good price on SBS.co.uk ! Fits well, good airflow and quiet. Easy to flip visor and internal sun visor up & down. Slightly fiddly D-Ring fastener but overall great lid.
Nexx X.Rally Carbon - Pro White I generally have issues with helmet fitment due to my head being on the upper edge of XL but with XXL being far too loose.
This Nexx is one of the very few that fit near perfectly and is super comfortable.
Incredibly light, looks and feels high quality. Maybe not quite Shoei levels by not far off imo.
Comes with the photo chromatic visor which works very well indeed, as well as some camera mounts, and a visor extension.
Finally, a great touch is that it has a removable 'plug' where you can fit the universal mount for an intercom. In My case a Cardo freedom. Making installation a breeze.
Highly recommended so far.
