I have worn the HJC RPHA-11 motorcycle helmet for three years on a daily basis, both while commuting and fun rides as well as on track. I can wholeheartedly say I am a fan of this particular helmet.
After about two years of daily use, extra space was created due to wear and tear in the cushions and the inside area of the shell. After replacing the cushions I still noticed some extra space. It’s recommended to replace your motorcycle helmet every five years. In this case, the HJC won’t last five years. It really needs to be replaced after three years of wearing it extensively. Extra space means less stability and less safety. We don’t want that.
I must mention clearly that I really wear the helmet almost everyday. I put it on and off my head a few times a day. Most helmets are not designed for that, so it’s not surprising that a helmet wears out faster when used like that. Are you looking for a lightweight, no-nonsense motorcycle helmet and do you want a lot of colour choice? Then be sure to try the HJC RPHA-11.
