Description of Enhanced Visibility and Style: HJC Helmets Shield - HJ-09 (Gold)

You got a great quality helmet from HJC now you need to match the face shield with your riding conditions. HJC puts a custom twist on the available shield for your helmet. They developed the RST mirror coating that reflects light with the vacuum applied metallic compound coating. The gradient smoke and hi-def orange change the lighting on the upper half of the shield and remain clear on the lower half for unrestricted visibility. Note: the HJC HJ-09 helmet shield fits these helmets: AC-12, CL-SP, CL-15, CL-16, CS-R1, FS-10, and FS-15 as well as all Joe Rocket Helmets.

Good but not perfect

The fit is mediocre, there are some leaks/gaps at the bottom which allows a lot of air to enter the nose and eyes when looking over the shoulder at high speed. I got this tinted gold to replace the factory clear screen, but it does an excellent job of blocking the sun and won't burn a hole in your retinas.

Pros
  • Note: The HJC HJ-09 face shield fits the following helmets: AC-12, CL-SP, CL-15, CL-16, CS-R1, FS-10 and FS-15, as and all Joe Rocket helmets.
Cons
  • Ok for the most part, but...

Ideal for helmet accessories

Fits perfectly. I replaced a 10 year old gold visor with this one. This is a new version. The old version had a golden tint on the inside, which sometimes made it difficult to see the reflection inside. This new one only has a golden tint on the outside and no reflection on the inside! Not too dark for night driving! I highly recommend this visor!

Pros
  • They have developed a high gloss RST reflective finish with a vacuum applied composite metal coating.
Cons
  • Base required

Good visor at a low price

Looks just like I thought it would. However, I noticed that there is a small reflection of my face in the visor. Not annoying enough to complain about, but a few things to know before you buy. Also, the visor feels a bit "crisp" when opening and closing compared to the clear visor that came with my HJC helmet. It also appears to be a bit more flexible than the original visor.

Pros
  • A high-resolution smoky orange gradient changes the lighting in the top half of the visor and remains clear in the bottom half for unobstructed vision.
Cons
  • Expandable

Either no gold or a bad excuse for gold

Well, first of all I can't say whether the product image is wrong, or the order information was not taken into account, or whether that really is your definition of "GOLD" of the visor. Sure it's reflective and I think(?) has a slight golden tint to it, but that's not what most people expect when ordering. While it's not perfect, I personally recommend only ordering the more expensive one, with higher chance of getting what you WANT and expect compared to this one. I would love to return it to…

Pros
  • HJC changes the available shield for your helmet.
Cons
  • Slightly torn
