    I recently purchased a new helmet, so thought since I've used the HJC IS-Max 2 for a year, that I should do a review of it. Overall thoughts: Awesome helmet for a great price! Other thoughts? Watch the video!
    "What kind of helmet do you wear?" I get this question all the time, so this video is definitely long overdue!I also get requests for my gloves all the time as well. And my jacket. Man... I really need to do more gear reviews!
    Anyways, hope you all enjoy the video! If you have any questions, please feel free to post them in the comments section below.
    Thanks as always for tuning in! Ride safe there, wear your helmets, and stay vigilant!
    Deuces!

    BEER?
    Lots of people say the channel has helped them in some way, be it the "How To" videos (mostly,) or other random videos. People are always saying they'd love to buy me a beer. I love beer. If you're one of those people, feel free to buy me a beer! :)

    Very good and simple helmet. And from experience, they are super strong from wrecks crashes. mine (red elemental) is scratched to hell but it's in one piece. hope this helps with someone considering a IS-MAX 2 helmet.

    Been looking for "the one" for month's. This has been the best full breakdown helmet video I have seen. I have watched Dom Mazzetti speed through all his Rev dildo videos. I like the skinny fella from Fort Twine but this is how you break down a helmet.

    That sun visor has a third position by the way. Hold that button that you use to retract down while you pull the visor down and it will go into it's third position.

      Thought that was just for changing the visor?

    I wear a Harley modular for vlogging and I also use the metal clips for all my helemts. They make it soo much easier to secure the helmet...

    I don't know why I do this, I just bought a IS-Max from my H-D dealer... but I'm watching reviews of it now. LOL I guess I needed to know that I dun gud. ;)
    I've been a Shoei guy for the past 12 years or so but my gal bought an HJC about a decade ago and it has done as well as the Shoei helmets. Did a lil ride after getting it and I like it, a lot, so far. Love the drop down visor, its lightly tinted and I had my prescription sunglasses on with it, like a fool.
    The reason I bought a new helmet was that while trying to install speakers in my Shoei Multitech the insides were falling apart. I think it is eleven years old, didn't owe me a dime but it was time to move on.
    Weight? Seems right inline with the older Multitech, so I can't complain about the weight.
    Thanks for showing the detailed breakdown of the helmet. That will come in handy.
    Your favorite brand new subscriber, pinkie. ;)

      pinkiewerewolf I looked it up before i bought my bike but when i bought my bike i needed a helmet so I bought it too, i really love mine. But realize i paid $60 more for that hd logo lol

      @pinkiewerewolf 5 років тому

      @@Anthonyisthe1 Don't know why this didn't show up for me when you posted it. Sorry for a late reply. My local H-D dealer stocks the HJC IS-Max 2 and the H-D branded equivalents, I lucked out and bought the standard HJC for less.
      Still love this helmet, even compared to the Schuberth E1 and HJC RPHA ST 70 that sit beside it on my shelf. Max is my daily rider.

    Thanks for video. How did you remove the big HJC logo (sticker?) from front of helmet? I'm guessing a razor blade and goo gone. I just ordered helmet but have not received yet. Thanks!

  • @slavazavalin
    @slavazavalin 6 років тому +3

    How did you dull that ugly forehead HJC sticker? I have the same model and color, but HJC sticker is so bright to me, so I want to either remove or blend it to the helet's surface. Any suggestions please? Thank you!

      I'd like to know about this, too. I just bought an RPHA 90 but the 2XL is a little too snug and may return it for this, as they have larger sizes for my fat head.

    How is it for wind noise? I know it's a old video, but I'd like to get one for the upcoming riding season.

    • @bigpapa8152
      @bigpapa8152 5 років тому +1

      It's not whisper quiet, but it's not harsh either. Little bit of wind noise, doesn't bother me. Had mine a year now, lots of high speed riding, and Its a great helmet. Pinlock is a must, 0 fogging. I recommend . Had a bad wreck years ago, HJC lid was trashed, but it saved my life doctor's told me. All I use now. For the money, can't beat HJC period.

      Not really, granted I do have a quieter bike (2005 ninja 250), but even when I've been on the back of my dad's yamaha 600r, it's not bad at all sound-wise. I love it
