About the Product
The HJC CL-17 Helmet hits the same safety ratings as the big boys yet comes in at hundreds less. This is a helmet designed to keep you cool. Advanced ventilation channels do most of the work but a moisture wicking interior liner is there for backup.
The HJC FG-17 helmets are presented by the brand HJC, who is famous for bringing super quality helmets at affordable prices. This helmet has many unique features of a RPHA 10 Race Helmet including the central lock system.

What customers say about "Key Specs"
HJC CL-17 Streamline Motorcycle Helmet Flat Blue/White XS
- The helmet is also SNELL and DOT approved (I think this is the best value for a SNELL approved helmet, this is actually the only ONE that was approved by both SNELL&DOT and still under $200!).
- This helmet is a tremendous value. Snell and DOT certification at a very reasonable price.
- The materials are excellent. A large fit my head perfectly. It is also very quite. I couldnt be happier!
- Overall the quality is very good and this particular model fits my head quite well. I do have a complaint however and that is the fact that this helmet is very noisy at highway speeds.
- Helmets ok very noisy customer service is kinda lacking Cody needs better people skills. The manual says it comes with a chin curtain but it dont feel cheated.
HJC FG-17 Full Face Motorcycle Helmet
- The helmet is super nice, very well constructed the padding inside is high quality, vent switches are sturdy and easy to use, nothing on this helmet seems low quality.
- Best safety bang you are going to get for your buck. Visor is easy to operate even in gloves. Fits as advertised
- This helmet is excellent. Quiet on the road, the venting is perfect. You can always tell a quality helmet when you first put it on.
- Never fogs. Good for more oval shaped skulls. Love that the shell is smaller than most.
- This is a good helmet and I understand that, but the front nose piece arrived cracked in half. I figured I wouldn't bother with a return since it's a minor issue and didn't affect the structural integrity of the helmet.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"
HJC CL-17 Streamline Motorcycle Helmet Flat Blue/White XS
- I'm 6'3" and 350lbs. with a huge circumference head and this worked for me. Rode over 120 miles and no problems.
- Fits to the form of your skull after a few rides. Holds up pretty well when it's raining (i.e. no leaks).
- I like design too. The shape/size is not overbearing and the weight is good.
- Works well for my head size/shape. I have a more rounded head and read the CL-17 is a better fit.
- THe helmet is great, very nice but the size chart is to small order one size larger it is to tight on my head and I measured on the low side of medium.
HJC FG-17 Full Face Motorcycle Helmet
- More comfortable and lighter than the CL-17.
- Great helmet. XL is a little snug but will likely break in over time.
- Super comfortable helmet. Exactly what I was looking for to fulfill track requirements.
- Super nice. True to size chart.
- Excellent buy, size chart is accurate, it's very light weight.

What customers say about "Features"
HJC CL-17 Streamline Motorcycle Helmet Flat Blue/White XS
- Top air vents operable with gloves on. Very sturdy chin strap, lots of padding on it too.
- The padding looks well made and the finish is good, weight not too heavy and the visibility out the visor is unobstructed. The vents are a very nice feature as well.
- Cheeks a bit tight as to be expected with snell ratings but losses up. Good ventilation and easy to adjust when riding. Good value.
- The vents work as designed and are easy to use. Shield replacement is easily performed and requires no tools.
- Inside chin has space and Velcro for extra padding, but is not supplied with the helmet.
- Due to lack of chin curtain and chin padding, wind gets up in there. Nice on hot days, really bad on cold ones.
HJC FG-17 Full Face Motorcycle Helmet
- Very easy to swap out face shields. Very easy to wipe down and clean.
- Вetents on visor are firm so you can crack it for more airflow.
- Great quality. Loved the ventilation system (you can really feel the air flow through the helmet).
- This is a great helmet. Comfortable. Prefect for cold days with the anti-fog insert. Id buy it again.
- Helmet is a bit noisy. At high speeds, one side whistles a bit.
- Only downside is the chin strap, not easy to put on and off. Other than that. Overall, I'm very happy with the product.
- On cold mornings I have to keep visor a little bit open for avoiding fog.
