By JCF
(this is a review I wrote for a dirt bike forum; please excuse the length)I really like my SPX and am impressed with the quality of workmanship. I had been in the market for a new helmet and I tried on my son's SPX and loved it, so I started to look for one for myself. I wanted a solid color (white, actually) but couldn't find a good enough deal (it turns out that solids retail for more initially (!?) and stay high priced since they don't change year-to-year).Well, I saw a great deal on a red SPX on Amazon Prime ($64.99 delivered!) and pulled the trigger. I received the helmet 3 days later and was blown away with the quality and looks. BTW, I'm guessing this helmet that I bought in October 2010 was last year's model which partially explains the price. If you're looking for this kind of deal, you have to be a little patient.I did make one mistake: I ordered my normal size-large; I should have gotten an XL. The ironic thing is that my son's helmet is an XL and it fit perfectly, I just had a brain-fart when I ordered mine a couple of months later. (for the record, my head is 23-5/8" and oval. The large was insanely tight on me). The seller (Powersport Superstore- Austin, Texas) was gonna take it back, no questions asked, but I decided to keep it. FYI, HJC sells different cheek and head pads also. The reason I decided to keep it is that I modify all my helmets: the cheek pads are ALWAYS too tight (slightly overweight here) so I remove some material from the back of 'em, and I do the Dick Burleson-recommended chin bar padding removal. And I would not recommend doing either procedure with this helmet (chin bar padding has energy-absorbing foam under it- more for structural support I think, but it complicates things). Get the right size.The main feature of this helmet is venting. And it is definitely superior in this area to any other motorcycle helmet I have ever worn. In fact, it comes close to venting as well as my downhill mountain bike helmet does. It's that good. Actually, in the winter, I sometimes opt for my older THH because the SPX vents too well.The helmet is very comfortable. The strap is very supple and the D-rings are very easy to use. The eye port is very wide, and the rubber roost-guard thingy is not too ungainly. The visor is integrated into the helmet and makes it very "finished" looking.I have one negative comment but it is with almost all helmets sold in the last 10 years: weight. I weighed my helmets from the 1990's and I came with an average weight of 2.60lbs. The new-millennium helmets all weigh more than 3lbs and the Lg SPX weighs 3.49lbs. I don't know where this weight-creep is coming from (maybe Snell driven?) but I wish the manufactures would start taking weight seriously. BTW, size-large helmets typically weigh the most since they use the large shells with the thickest padding (an XXL will weigh less usually). I'm am not a big Snell Memorial Foundation standard believer either, after that MCN article in 2003. We need a dirt standard.I don't think that 5-star ratings really have enough granularity to tell much about an item. If I was gonna rate this helmet on a 100-scale, I'd give it a 98. I did give it a 4 for comfort, just because of my mistake in ordering the wrong size- besides, if I gave it 5's across the board, I'd look like cheerleading tool, don'cha think?
