Default HJC HQ-1 Carbon Helmet

Don't know if this is in the right place, so mods please move if so.

I've been offered a new HJC HQ-1 Carbon helmet for a very very good price.

I know a couple of people on here have them. So my question is whats it like? Whats wind noise like? Build quality? Overall fit?

I'll be using it day in day out, so its going to get some hammer.

I'm going to try one for sizing but for the price i've been offered one for is very tempting me.

Cheers!

I thought it was a HJC HQ-1 you was wearing. I think pictures speak louder than words....

I'd gladly buy another if I wanted a road lid

I still use the visor from that lid in the bare carbon on spare I have, this was the damage to the lid:

slighty off topic but i highly rate HJC lids (ive crashed in 2) granted not the carbon fibre jobbies but the glass fibre ones.
