Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)As the title implies, I've owned an HJC Symax helmet since 2003.Now, after over six years and tens of thousands of miles, the lining was wearing in the rear and the strength of the shell starts to become suspect from all the sunshine and heat it has endured.I've been a happy Symax owner, so I was a bit concerned about how I'd like the replacement.
First the fit:The basic fit of the shell seems the same as the original Symax, the peripheral vision seems the same and the clearance between the chin bar and my chin is identical.The new helmet is a bit more snug, but I suspect that's due entirely to the lining in the old one being compressed a bit from years of use.
Ventilation:There is no comparison.The ventilation in the Symax II is light years better than the original.With the top vent open I can actually feel the air going over my head.Nice.The chin bar vent is also more effective, so the combination is just outstanding.
The nifty new feature on the Symax II is the built-in sunshade.It's a great idea, and works reasonably well, but it really misses the mark a bit.While HJC advertises it has three positions (four if you count retracted) the fully extended position is really just for removing and replacing the lens.The primary two operating detents are VERY close together and almost at the fully extended position.It really needs one more position where it can act like the dark band at the top of a car windshield - far enough down to shade the eyes, but not so far down you are actually looking through it.
It's a great helmet, the flip-up chin bar functions flawlessly, the sun shade is a nice add-on and the ventilation is outstanding.All in all a worthy successor to the original Symax.
