Review of HJC SY-MAX 2 SYMAX2 FLIP-UP LT. SILVER SIZE:LRG MOTORCYCLE Full-Face-Helmet

I've had an HJC Symax helmet for about a year and a half now, and have been very happy with it.It's protected me well in two falls - (1) I went down very hard on concrete at about 30 mph when a large dog came out of nowhere and ran into my back wheel (!) - my head and the helmet hit the road on the right front side; I'm sure the helmet's chin bar saved me from a broken jaw, and I didn't even have a headache afterwards.(2) I crashed going downhill on a steep dirt track (tires got caught in a rut), and landed face down; my face and the helmet landed on my chin, but no injury or soreness.The helmet is well-padded and well-ventilated, and the paint has retained its glossy shine.The flip-top option is extremely convenient, and necessary for me, as where I live (Thailand) there are a lot of vehicles that pollute badly, and I sometimes need to use a smog mask.I've had one problem - the plastic lever that opens the flip-top broke recently when I was opening the helmet.HJC customer service was excellent.First they sent me the replacement part for free.Then they answered my emails promptly and helpfully when I needed help figuring out how to get inside the chin section to replace the part.One other thing - I've noticed that at times the chin bar will click when closing it, but is not fully locked in place, and needs an extra tug (which causes a second click) to fully secure it.This is not happening now that I've replaced the chin bar, so my guess is that it was caused by a loose screw that attached the chin bar, causing one side to close and click slightly before the other side.I'd give this helmet 4 and a half stars (but there are no half-star rating increments available with Amazon).
