HJC IS-16 Helmet - Tested

No matter what time of the day it is, you can grab one helmet-the HJC IS-16-and not worry about shields.There's a general rule around here regarding helmets: when we get one we immediately replace the clear shield with the darkest one we can get. Why? Well let's face it; every helmet (and its wearer) looks far cooler with a dark-tinted faceshield. But really we do it because most of our riding occurs during the day, so this beats wearing sunglasses under our lids (which is a potential safety hazard if a lens breaks during a crash). If we predict we'll be riding into the night then we'll also keep the clear visor in tow. You can't always predict how late you'll be out however, and there'll be times when you get caught out in the dark without a clear shield, relying on the headlights of the cars in front of you to guide the way.inline_mediumwraptextrightArkanium22057220/gear/146_0908_hjc_is_16_helmet_tested146_0908_01_z+tested+HJC_helmet.jpgTrue
