I own this helmet in size medium and wear eye glasses with it and had no issues. But I would say I do have a short head and face, so it worked great for me
As someone with a long-oval head type, probably looking for the only solution being an Arai Signet-X for ridiculous money, I've used HJC in the past and they fit remarkably well around my jaw line, the strap locations, general comfort behind my head, and always felt very secure if only causing some pressure at the front of my forehead. I used an FG-17 which I believe is the predecessor to this F70, at least with the same shell material. Your mentioning the slightly longer and more narrow shape is probably right down my alley in looking for better shell fit. I usually had some slop/space on the sides of my head and being tight front to back. I'm going to give this a test. I'd rather dremel some EPS out of the forehead than pay 4x the price for a fussy complex lower visibility overrated Arai. I've also used Shoei before and their neck straps for thin, flimsy, and the tails swing away from the strap causing neck abrasion. Also Shoei has nothing for long-oval heads. I am an eyeglass wearer, but the bows are very thin on my glasses. Hopefully the check pads don't cause an issue here. I guess I'll find out.
Odds are this will be a good fit for you with a long oval. - Van
Great honestreview . I received my f70 yesterday and it is a bad ass helmet. I got the stone grey one. Tight on my temples but I am satisfied with my purchase.thank you sir.
You are welcome and thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear your reviews are awesome. You don’t sugarcoat it .
Cool looking helmet.
Question: do you sell those nice looking STG hats too?
Here is a link to the hats on our site: www.sportbiketrackgear.com/stg-flexfit-hat-2018/ - Van
Thanks for this great review. I think fitment in regards to oval vs long-oval is unfortunately imprecise. What does this really mean is 1 inch longer than wide or 2 inches?? I own a Schubert C3 Pro and a Hedon Hedonist both give me forehead pressure after 45-60 min. So i picked up this helmet and you are absolutely spot-on. I had it on my head at home the night i bought for 2 times 45 min, felt that i was getting warm in my forehead but not exactly pressure. Next day i went for a 4 hour 15 min ride. had the helmet of once because the right ear bud got loose. But no pressure point in forehead or anywhere less for that matter. So nice to be able to enjoy the ride and not think about the helmet...
Have you tried any long-oval open face helmets? looking to replace the Hedonist as it hurts above 45min and is reaching 5 years.
I have an intermediate oval shape and do not get a good fit from the long oval helmets so I do not ride in them. - Van
Nice video there! Is the sunvisor removable?
It can be replaced if necessary. We find most of these will last the life of the helmet as they are not exposed to the elements being behind the outer shield. - Van
Had same problem wearing glasses. To high position. On ear placing of the glasses gives the glasses better position, but don't know if that compromises comfort to much.
For sure some helmets are better with glasses than others. - Van
great review sir
Thank you for watching! - Van
Hello sir nice video and thanks for details! I have one question, you open many times the ''glass'' with two hands, is that so hard to open with one? When you are on the road can you open it easy? Thanks again!
IMO the shield on this is a little wonky. You can do it with one hand but it for sure works best with both. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear ok thanks a lot! :)
I'm amazed you didn't talk about the most unique feature on this helmet - the reason that front vent looks so bad ass, and the breath guard is so large. I've heard that the visor opening is cut larger than any other helmet to greatly increase field of vision. I was hoping you would talk about this and confirm it. Does your silence on the subject mean that you didn't even notice because it's not a valuable factor? I tried finding reviews on Amazon but nobody has reviewed there yet.
Is the larger visor opening a noticeable feature? Or just marketing hype.
I do not feel this has an overly large field of vision. It is about what I would expect for this helmet. There are others on the market with more open fields of vision like the AGV Corsa and Pista. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear Even though you do not find that of interest, does not mean a lot of people out there do not. Let us decide.
@@sportbiketrackgear Thanks for the feedback but it's too bad the Corsa and Pista prices start at $800 and $1200. The F70 is less than $300. I might wait for stores to re-open or just stick with the CL17 that I know and love.
@ambius try Shark Vision-R serie 2, also has extended view field.. if from not full face than Scorpion ADX-1 huge visor and Caberg Horus also huge visor with exteded view field
We usually ride during summers where I live ... average warm day would be 30C or 86°F, and I would mostly ride in the city. I also like wearing glasses with the helmet. Do you think HJC F70 would be right for me, or can you recommend something else?
We cover glasses compatibility in this video but I do not remember off the top of my head how this one was. This is not a bad helmet, it just has a unique fit. Personally I feel the i70 is a better helmet. www.sportbiketrackgear.com/hjc-i70-helmets/
The main problems I have with helmets is a lack of durability on things like air vent opening and closing mechanisms snapping off and the internal visor parts snapping and breaking with normal use. They seem to be made with poor quality, brittle plastics. My last two helmets from different manufacturers had these problems.
When it comes to helmet quality and performance you get what you pay for. - Van
Im planing to buy it, it fits me good. How about loudness, is it a quiet one?
Sorry this is not a helmet I plan to ride in. Given the venting it offers I would expect it to make some noise but not be ridiculous by any means. - Van
Helmet looks great, but the issues w glasses are a deal-killer.
Kind of reminds me of an Icon helmet w its look and fit.
It is a great looking helmet for sure. - Van
I tried this helmet on at my local dealership and put my glasses on without issue. Don’t let that be an concern for you with this helmet.
Can you tell me the difference between HJC F70 Mago vs the HJC F70 Feron. Thank you!
Should be the same helmet with a different graphic. - Van
I have a SENA 30K. Will that install well that face shield slider?
Worst case you will need to slide the unit back a little. Should be fine. - Van
Does the breath/nose guard impede/obstruct vision? It just seems awfully large
I did not feel like it got in the way. - Van
Would you pick this helmet over the st 70?
No I think the ST 70 is a better helmet. - Van
CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME
I have $300 to spent on a helment. Which 1 should I get. I live in Oregon so it rains but dosent snow I will ride my motorcycle everyday. Will this helmet get wet or will it do in the rain
The gasket on the shield looks to be good quality so I would not expect you will get wet. No reason not to wear this one in the rain. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear thanks and also do you know any warm leather jackets for riding and if I but a regular raincoat over a leather jacket will it leak
Youre 58 cm large size and theres a pressure on your sides, are u switching to XL?
I was wearing a size medium and it was tighter on the sides than I would like. IMO this helmet is closer to long oval than intermediate oval (my head shape as well as the most common in the US) and simply not the best shape for me. Going up a size will not solve the fit problem, it will just end up making the helmet too large for me. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear thanx bro for the insights godbless
I like it. Let us know about wind noise please. It looks like it would be "quite".
I have the IS-17 and an AGV K-1.
The IS-17 is much quieter.
If I get a chance to ride in this one I will do so. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear .. oh man 😬.. I forgot you guys are up North getting some terrible weather. Try to stay warm. 🥶
I have this helmet and it is incredibly quiet, more so than any other helmet I have ridden with yet
@@godlyspaghetti
Thank you. 🌝👍
F70 is very noisy, looks something else
When first using this helmet for me it Definatly hurt the sides of my heads after about an hour of riding I had to take it off
I found this helmet to be pretty narrow which will be a problem for many riders. - Van
Im trying to decide whether to get the rpha 11 or rpha 70st but now comes this. How would you compare this to the rpha 11 and 70? Specially on the ventilation side since I am a pretty sweaty guy and I leave in a tropical country.
Thanks in advance! 👍
Ventilation will be better with the RPHA 11 Pro. IMO the RPHA 11 Pro is an all around better helmet than the F70 as it should be given the difference in price between the two of them. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear yah. figured from the price point. sorry for going a little off topic, if between rpha 11 and rpha 70 which has better ventilation and better overall? appreciate your response! =)
Was anyone able to install the Cardo Packtalk Slim communicator on the HJC F70 helmet ?
What about this special Sena compartment at the rear of the helmet, can Cardo somehow fit over/in it?
Does the internal sun-visor mechanism gets in way of the Cardo controller clips?
The helmet is not listed on the Cardo site under helmets comparability, but I wonder if anyone in the real world did it...
I have not installed that system in this helmet. I would expect this to accept most universal bluetooth devices. - Van
I was able to install the Packtalk Slim on the F70.
@@dalecolegrove6652 Hey Dale, thanks very much for letting me know it is possible. Care to share any details about your installation? Did you have to alter anything on the helmet, or on the device? How did you deal with the big battery compartment at the back of the helmet? Cheers
@@alopandur No modifications needed. The side piece fit behind the drop down visor slider. He back piece fit between the Sena plate thing and the shell of the helmet.
@@dalecolegrove6652 THANK YOU !
Is there different colored visors for this helmet?
Yes there are several options. Here is a link on our site:
HJC HJ-32 Pinlock Ready Shield
www.sportbiketrackgear.com/hjc-hj-32-pinlock-ready-shield/
@@sportbiketrackgear thank you
I wore it at my desk? Wait are these for the office!?
Best face mask out there to protect you from the Coronavirus. Over the last 20 years there is a very strong possibility I have ridden in and owned more full face helmets than anyone in this industry. That said it is just not possible to ride in all of them. When I do the reviews I like to note whether or not I have ridden in the helmet.
Even without riding in the helmet I can help to bench mark the fit, give you an idea of the quality to expect and break the features down. - Van
Something I've noticed trying on helmets at a shop, they don't fit the same as a fresh helmet shipped to the door, even in the exact same model. Probably due to a dozen customers trying/wearing that shop helmet and compressing the foam slightly.
Get a helmet, put it on, wear that sucker 1/2 hour or longer if need be before determining if you're going to keep it. I've literally tried a dozen helmets that way because it's difficult to find stock at dealerships who offer the correct size. Thankfully I have retailer in my state and free shipping.
New to this . is this helmet allowed at a track ?
It is ECE certified and would be accepted by any org I have ridden with. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear is that track certified ECE ?
@@matthewfreeland5957 Why couldn't you just go and google it and have your answer in 30 seconds rather than relying on someone else to hold your hand and do it for you, ya lazy git?
@@Jooeffoh wow! just a Damm question asswhipe! Lol!
Hey Brian....I want two Helmet Thats have Very good air flow.....My head Is Very Hot And sweaty.....So Suggest Me Very Good Amount Of Airflow helmet..Give me All possible models..WithvSunshield And Without Sun Shield..budget limit 115£ - 599£
Helmets with the drop down sun shield flow less air because the drop down shield forces the designer to move the vents to places where they are less effective. Take a look at the Shoei RF-1400 or X-14. - Van
Nice
Thank you for watching! - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear every time man also thank you for the great content!
Alex Cazan Ditto!
Torn between this and RPHA11. Would you trust this one for everyday street use? I'm driving a Yamaha XMAX.
No reviews for helmets are better than yours. Period...
Thank you for watching and for the kind words! - Van
Let me have it free
Sorry not gonna happen. - Van
