HJC C70 Canex hełm

This helmet is clearly the successor to the old IS-17 (even sharing some of the face pads), and as such, remains one of the best entry level helmets.
The fit is classic HJC, meaning tight when new. but quickly molds to the user's head. My head measures 59.5cm, and an L was the perfect fit, if a little tight at first.
The eyeport is big, made even bigger by removing the breath guard, which is kind of useless.
The padding is an HJC tech fabric, which maintains the user's head feeling cool, yet remains soft and comfortable even when riding for several hours. It is also completely removable. allowing for it to be washed.
As far as noise is concerned, the helmet deadens the sound by a lot, probably due to the eyeport, which seals into a gasket, and the thick foam. This of course has the drawback of weight, which for this helmet is slightly north of 1600 grams in the L size.
The ventilation is ok, with two active vents,one on top of the head and one on the chin, and two exhaust ports on the back of the head. The EPS foam is cut, to accommodate for the active vent sand allow better airflow. They do whistle slightly at higher speeds, in some head positions.
The visor is optically neutral, which is to be expected, and has a quick release system, which is easy to operate. It is also prepared for a pinlock lens. This pinlock lens, however, was not included with the helmet. This is to be expected, given the price, however, it's still a regression from the IS-17.

All in all, good helmet, not perfect, but good enough for most riders, cheaper than other, less protective helmets with even less features
