What type of HJC helmet's are you using?

I am looking at the Thrust helemt. It is listed as a dirt bike helemt, not a sled helmet.

Wondering if it would be warm enuf,or any input of another type of helemt.

I looked at FLY helemts, but do not care for the color designs.

Thanks

I ride with the HJC AC-X3 Carbon, its not a "snow" helmet persay and its just fine. I use the breather box thing for this helment with no problems, super light, great helmet, but the price wasn't that nice!

I use the CLX-5 Arena. The only thing I do is tape up the front mouth vent with electrical tape.

I personally ride with a Fox Racing helmet. it's listed as a Motocross helmet as well. I just purchased a nose / mouth "anti fog" guard that slips up in the front mouth area of the helmet like a cup, and it wears great.

Fox's helmets are manufacturerd by KBC Intl. Trust me when I say they're some of the most comfortable helmets for your dollar you could spend.

My husband has a cl-x4 HJC that he likes. It fits well and is very well constructed. It has a nice interior and came with a breath box that fits nicely. He ordered it from thefullmonte (bobs cycle) on this 4m. I can't remember the price, but he said it was a good helmet for the money.

I have a CL-X5 that I've gotten good use out of. Warm enough and 509 googles seem to fit real well in it.

best thing i have found for the hjc's is the breath deflector. i have a family full of the clx4's, with optional breath deflector. seems as though regardless of the spec helmet genre, hjc has the deflector to fit. snaps in under the foam padding and covers the nose and mouth. should be listed on the website. the only way to go to inhibit fogging.

Dennis Kirk has them on clearance right now too. I have the Titan carbon $207.89 for a carbon fiber lid is a great price. The standard ones are from $98 to $111

I tried a lot of different helmets of all brands and other than an Arai for like $500 +, it was the best fit for a lot less money. Great face protection for a MX style helmet and I use both Oakley and 509 goggles with no issues. Not to mention it's one of the best looking IMO.

ACX3 here, both snow and dirt.

The XS/S, M/L, and L/XL are the same shell size, difference between the two is the liners. This will let you mix and match cheek pad sizes and liner sizes to get a better fit. I'm right between M and L, throw in the L liner and it fits better with a balaclava than the M does. Use the M-size liner for dirt when I don't need the balaclava.
