Great helmet - Bob - Hagerstown MD
Recommended by Reviewer: Yes
Pros: Great helmet. Great fit, features. Tinted visor is great Great ventilation.
Cons: none
Great helmet. Great fit, features are super. Went with matte black - beautiful. The slide down tinted visor is great, easy to operate while riding. I went to a local shop to try on similar styled helmets for sizing, settled on an XXL, which was smart, as I wouild have ordered an XL which woudl have been too small. Great valueIntent is to add a bluetooth com system soon - which was a factor in selecting this helmet. Great pricing - I shopped around the Net & local shops - no price was better.

Cons: Ventilation
Great helmet. Love the internal visor. The noise is very good for a modular helmet.
Good helmet for price - William SC
Recommended by Reviewer: Yes
Pros: good fit, fit glasses nicely
Cons: [None]
It fits snug and tight with no movement but doesn't squeeze on my temples and ears as my previous non-modular full face HJC did. The flip-up component works well and latches in the down position easily and firmly. It seems light for a modular and well balanced. It's quiet for a modular. I can't report on the ventilation since I haven't worn it on a hot day yet. The only problem I'm having is fully closing the visor with one hand. It seems to leave a small sliver of opening at the bottom. A little dab of Vaseline at the hinge will probably fix it. Darker inner sun shield and the ability to set it at different heights would be nice, but overall it is excellent.

Good helmet for the money - Steve B OR
Recommended by Reviewer: Yes
Pros: Comfortable Helmet
Cons: Drop down sun visor doesn't work with glasses
I had a previous version of the Symax that I thought was a good helmet. I've always felt that HJC provides the best compromise between comfort and cost. The new Symax 3 is a little better. Not alot better, but better enough that I think it was worth it to upgrade. My Cardo headset installed fine, no problems. Other reviewers have said that they can lower the sun shield while wearing glasses, but I have found that not to be the case with me. Every time I try and lower the sunshield it hits my glasses. I don't even bother with it any more. I bought 2 if these, one for my wife and one for me. The sizing does run a little smaller that my old Symax. My wife wore a medium with her old Symax but a large with the Symax 3 and I wore a large but a x-large with the Symax 3. Overall a very good helmet that you can't go wrong in purchasing.
Best Symax Yet - Will FL
Recommended by Reviewer: Yes
Pros: Improved ventilation, truer sizing, good headset compatibility
Cons: Still noisy,leaky face shield seal
If you had a Symax 1or 2 and had to wear a size or two larger than specified in the sizing chart to accommodate comm system earphones, you will like the new version. It has much improved ear pockets and fits truer to size. Airflow is superior to earlier versions too. But be sure you know where the small top vent closure is and how to operate it, as it flows a lot of water very quickly in the rain Readily accepts clamp-on style headsets such as Harley and J&M, as well as integrated wired or Bluetooth type systems. I hoped it would be quieter than the Symax 2, but it is noisier with the shield open and about the same closed. Good all-around street helmet, but the shield seal design has not improved and it still leaks in steady or heavy rain.
HJC Symax 3 Helmet - Divscotty ID
Recommended by Reviewer: Yes
Pros: Sizing is correct for size small. Easy to use latch on chin bar closure.
Cons: The Sun-shield distorts and I expected more air movement with the vent open.
The Sun-shield distorts a whole lot it is difficult to see clearly and the farther it is extended down the more distorted it becomes. The sun shield pops down and up very easy it simply needs to be made from a material you can see through clearly. I expected more ventilation, possibly it is less because i ride behind a windshield. The helmet looks nice. It needs a tab on the D-rings for ease of chi n strap removal. I put some speakers in and their was plenty of room for them without cramping my ears. The helmet is not too heavy.
