(available from revzilla.com)<\/a><\/strong> does that mean it’s for Cruiser type motorcycles?<\/p>\n\n\n\nAllow me to answer that question with a question. Have you ever seen a motorcycle wearing a helmet? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Motorcycle helmets should not be picked based on what style of motorcycle you ride, but rather with what style you ride on your bike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This helmet is called the cruiser because that’s what it’s used for. Cruising, chilling, relaxing. It’s a women’s lightweight half helmet for taking it easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The next question will come from Harley riders who will ask, “I have the same helmet, but it has the Harley logo on it, did HJC steel this helmet design from Harley?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No HJC makes Harley’s helmets. It’s HJC that wanted to offer this popular helmet design to more riders and not just non-Harley folks but also Harley riders that prefer not to flash a ton of branding all over the place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Style<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
You’ll notice right away that the HJC logo on the front is very subtle in noncontrasting colors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The helmets are only available in gloss or flat black colors, so they’re definitely for the less flashy riders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weight<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The shell is made of polycarbonate, and the size large weighed in on our scales at 2.65 pounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Structure<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The drop-down shell design makes this helmet feel incredibly secure compared to some more basic half helmet shapes. The size chart is accurate, so make sure you use it. My head circumference calls for large, and the fit is spot on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Size<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The HJC Unisex-Adult IS Cruiser helmet is available in sizes extra small to double extra-large. I think this helmet is going to be popular, so expect to see some larger sizes in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Feature<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
There are three features on this helmet that set it apart from other helmets of this style. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ventilation.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
This helmet has some ventilation. Some helmets like the IS2 don’t have any as you pick up speed, a pocket of low-pressure forms behind the helmet that draws hot moist air out of the vents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Drop Down Sun Visor<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The second feature is the HJ V4 drop-down Sun Visor. Don’t get me wrong, this is not the first half helmet to offer this feature, but it’s one of the first to get it right. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s simple, there’s no complex release system to fail or add unnecessary weight to the helmet, but it’s also not so simple that it feels fragile or cheap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The shield doesn’t scrape against the shell when you raise or lower it, and it has different selectable detents. The only thing I would change is the tint. I would add a lot more of it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not only use the Sun visors as Sun visors, but that is also my only eye protection, so for me, I would have to replace the shield right away for a darker one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Interior<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The liner in this helmet is a plush Nialex moisture-wicking liner. I know this isn’t the first half helmet to sport this liner but what’s unique is that it’s fully removable and washable without making the helmet look any larger.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
