Overall its not bad, the vents are positioned really funky and I dont see it being too good at letting air in and out, other than that it seems pretty solid, locks good, stays up, the glass didnt fog when i breathed on it hard. I'm gonna take it for a ride before I give it a full review but so far for the priice I got a good deal

Which HJC? CL-MAX, SY-MAX, or SY-MAX II?

IS Max. Overall they say its a better helmet than their more expensive offerings, but the visor could use some work, the article says the vents dont work, but looking at reviews online folks say it does work so I'll have to try it out and see for myself.

I'd own the Shark Evoline or Shark anything in a heartbeat. Alas none of those Froggy helmets fit my round head.

I have a Shoei Multitec that I use for commutting and the previous commutting helmet Nolan N102 that I now left in New Mexico for use whenever I'm home.

The Nolan N102's round shape is not very aerodynamic at all and you get a lot of drag & buffeting. The rubber neck flap is nice for keeping the noggin warm during the colder days. Venting isn't all that shit hot. The externally mounted dark visor is a good idea but lousy execution. It's hard to clean the inside of it because of the clear main visor. And talk about difficulty taking the damn visors apart for cleaning or replacing...very little thought put into maintenance and services. Makes Arai's visor changing procedure look like a walk in the park. The Nolan N30 half helmet also isn't all that shit hot with quality of fit & finish either. I don't think that Nolan believes in sound insulation. Both Nolan helmets are noisier than hell. Earplugs are a must.

The Shoei Multitec is more streamlined with the shape. The chin curtain does a great job of keeping cold air out but not as good as the Nolan's neck flap. It's hard to describe but everything on that helmet oozes typical Shoei quality. The chin bar flip-up lever works really well. It locks down solidly with none of the rattle associated with the Nolan.
