Warm Temperature helmets - HJC bi moto ???
 

Hi folks,

I’m planning a Jordan trip and need a suitable helmet. I like the idea of the moto cross style but have heard negative things, about using them on the hightway. A flip front is good but have found mine to be too hot in warm weather and steams up in cool weather.. (it’s the family inheritance – big nose and heavy breather – but that’s another story)….

Does anyone use a HJC Bi Moto helmet, it’s an off road style helmet, with removable peak (ideal for the highway) and removable visor so you can use goggles… looks ideal (apart from the colours) and its in my budget at around €200

The trip is highway through Europe then a slower router down to Turkey : Syria and Jordan – warmer temperatures need to be an big consideration.


Thanks Matt

Heya.

The only helmet I can think of, on the top of my head (hehe) is the Arai tourX(2). It is definately not within the pricerange you seek. More like twice your range.

However, it does have the features you seek. Also, at the top and the back there are some ventilation holes that you can open and close (even while wearing it). Gives great inside-the-helmet airflow on those hot stretches.

On the down side (apart from the price) I think it's a bit on the loud side. I don't think it's the ventilation holes that's causing this. More likely it's the shade and the protruding noseguard design that's the issue.

But I do recommend it. I got one myself and I can vouch for the effectiveness of those ventilation holes. They are not just there for show. They realy do work.
