I personally really like it, it fits great on my head and the sun visor works very well for me. The anti fog shield was a little tricky to install but with the help of my handy dad we did it. I wear glasses in the helmet and it works perfectly. I always wear a long neck jacket so chin ventilation's no problem for me. It fits very well on my head. But as he said, there's no radical feature, but from a 200$ helmet I don't expect that. I give it a 8.5/10! //15 year old Swedish teen
It's not all bad, it's super comfortable and I have a feeling it will be great in hot weather since it lets so much air through (whether you want it or not). The darker shield is perfect. I won't say don't buy it, but buy it knowing it's flaws.
The sun visor actually has three settings, not two as shown here. If you push down the retract button you can slide the visor down even more and lock it there, so the two buttons are touching. Not a huge deal, but there it is. Just bought this helmet and haven't tried it out in traffic yet.
I like mine a lot. Fits my narrow head really well. A little loud and the venting could be better for Aussy summers, but for the price, I won't complain.
For Aussie summers it might not be sufficiently vented, but believe me, for German winters it is simply too much. I don't like wearing this helmet below 8-10 deg. Celsius very much for the simple reason that it's getting quite cold in there. At temperatures below 10 and also below zero I use my old Takai helmet which is a bit worn out but keeps me relatively warm...
Been wearing this for a few months. It allows too much air under the chin bar. I got the chin curtain and it is useless. It's too short and too thin so it doesn't block any air. The vents do nothing. Open or closed, I feel no difference. The included sun visor is also useless because it's too light. You have to pay more for a darker shield. Also, the dampened spring gets stuck when retracting the shield. I love fiddling with a shoddy lever on the top of my helmet on the highway. I'm not really happy with it but I can't return it.
SlowRide, yeap, exactly the same concerns: - sun visor too light, and spring gets stucked quickly - hard to find sun visor / vent buttons on top, too many of them - vent on or off doesnt make huge difference - a bit noisy - side wind, or turning head on high speed feels bad - pinlock is actually included, but the visible area is kind of limited from top by it, not cool but besides it, very cool one, great vealue for the price IMO
mikocot Thanks, always useful reading pro's and cons, i know every helmet has them but always handy to sum up generally what a helmet is like. And also its price category has to take into account some features i guess.
Every single thing you said I have to 100% agree with. I do not have issue with the darkness on the visor. But I was just coming to make these same comments. I returned one already because it was getting stuck, low and behold, the new one is now getting stuck when you retract it. Vents open or close I do not see much difference. All the air comes in under the chin. Apart from that it is a very nice helmet, very nice fit (I am coming from garbage helmets by Zesus). The noise level is not that amazing. The helmet is very light! very nice looking also. The field of view in the tuck is not perfect--crops the top! My chin curtain and pinlock were included. You really never know with a helmet. You can test them all. so let me stick with this until next change. Oh I have the Lorenzo graphic, which is pretty sharp.
Thank you! so much for showing how to remove all the padding’s. I have had this helmet for 2 years and never had the confidence to remove the padding’s in case I brake it. The helmet is very comfortable. The buttons for the vents and sun visor are a solid quality build. The helmet come with anti fog (condensation) don’t know what you call it. But I think the protection it starting to wear off. When I first bought it the condensation wouldn’t settle Now after 2 years you can start to see it settle for a few seconds, which is still good enough. The helmet comes with a bag. Which is very useful for me. I hope you all find the perfect helmet for you and ride safe ✌🏽
Hello i used an Hjc IS-17for a allmost a year! oh thank you -Brian for pointing me to the right way bud. It survived a low speed crash recently and i want to replace it now.. I would like to buy a helmet with lower Noise Level, lighter Weight, without a internal visor! Usually riding in town a Duke 390. looking forward for your recommendations for once more!
+Unpausemeh The Shoei RF-1200 would be the best option for being quiet and light, but it is definitely more expensive than the HJC IS-17. For more affordable options, consider the HJC FG-17 and the Scorpion EXO-R710. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/shoei-rf-1200-helmets *www.revzilla.com/hjc-fg-17-helmets *www.revzilla.com/scorpion-exo-r710-helmet

We test every helmet on our site, and are lucky enough to wear hundreds of models each year to compare fits. Sometimes that doesn't line up with other brand's opinions as to certain details. We stand by our real world testing and riding evaluation though. Hopefully it helps you make a decision on your next lid.
@@RevZilla I guess I should have stated it clearer. Those other videos were your Revzilla videos on other variations of this model like the Dead Pool one and Tario.
not happy with mine, on cold days, there is way too much cold air on my face,i even stuck a piece of fabric over the useless mesh chin curtain, which helped a bit, needs larger area chin curtain,what were the designers thinking of? surely they must have trialed it in cold weather 10 to 15 degrees Celsius, thats not that cold, but it would be unbearable in really cold weather!. oh yeah, one more thing,my model has the mini ratchet closing latch, which digs into my throat-another poor design. and also..............the drop down sun visor fogs up badly,in cold weather, but not the main visor with the pin-lock shield. but it looks nice.. lol
Does Hjc manufacture a diff design for Asia? I have the Loktar and it's pads are dark blue, the rear pad at the back of the helmet does not have that Hjc logo
It's likely, yeah. We don't have any presence in Asia to confirm, but typically helmets will change in design and shape for different markets. -Kraus-e
I would recommend the FG-17, because it's lighter, stronger, and more compact. The FG-17 meets both the DOT and Snell safety ratings, while the IS-17 is only DOT-rated. -DrewZilla

what do you mean by cut away for a communication device. does that fabric open for a speaker or do you have to cut it out of the helmet or what. I am looking for a helmet that will take a after market bluetooth. thank you anyone for your help
+Robert Clayton When Anthony says it has "a bit of a cut-away", he means that there is an area of the cheek pad that does not have any foam.

No, it cannot be changed. The version here in the US has the double D-rings. The international version you have has the ratchet strap. Tampering with the straps basically voids the safety of the closure. -DrewZilla
Don't forget the fit of the scorpion exo 510-air and the HJC is-17 are quite different! In my case, the EXO 510-air (intermediate oval) gave me headaches and pressure on my forehead while while the HJC IS-17 (round-neutral) fit me like a glove! I doubt they would both fit you equally well, so don't base your decision on specs only :) (But then again I see you're already wearing a helmet in your pic while I just entered this market so who am I to say haha)
Does anyone know where i can order a mirrored shield for this helmet ? Not a pin lock insert, i want actual shield. Ive looked all over....Ebay only has conspicuos, chinese, poorly identified models. I also attempted to call HJC with no answer.......awesome customer service.
Both are good options with internal sun visors, so it really depends on your head shape. The IS-17 has a slightly rounder internal shape, while the K3 SV has a slightly narrower internal shape. Both are still considered intermediate oval in internal shape though. The HJC is the better value of the two. -DrewZilla

Because the RPHA10 Plus is physically narrower than the IS-17, I can understand its 3-star SHARP rating. The IS-17 has a much larger shell, so there is room for more EPS around the ears. For long-term feedback, the RPHA10 has really good ventilation but is not quiet. The IS-17 has a bit less ventilation but is also slightly quieter. The AGV K5 and K3 SV have good ventilation, average noise, and are more compact than the IS-17 and both received 4-star SHARP ratings. The K5 and K3 SV are a good compromise between the other two.

From what I've read a DOT certification is crap. Given enough money a company could get the government to put that tag on a Styrofoam cooler with a bungee cord chin strap. Just my two cents.
Just look the SHARP scale, it is far more reliable when it comes to safety, this particular helmet is one of the few 5 star on that scale, making it way safer than 99% of the 300+ dollar helmets out there.

Because the RPHA10 Plus is physically narrower than the IS-17, I can understand its 3-star SHARP rating. The IS-17 has a much larger shell, so there is room for more EPS around the ears.
