Great Helmet Deal

If you are in the market for a new full-face helmet that won't break the bank, I may have an answer for your. 

I just picked up an HJC FG17 on closeout from Motorcyclegear.com. The FG17 is a step up from the CL17, and is built from fiberglass/kevlar instead of polycarbonate.  It is SNELL certified, and features a really nice shield mechanism borrowed from their RPHA line. 

This helmet is the quietest I have owned - significantly quieter than the Scorpion EXO1000 that I own.  The venting is actually effective too - I actually can feel the cool air flowing over my scalp - something I have not experienced with other helmets that I have owned. 

They are closing out 2014 models for $119, with free shipping.  The one I bought was basically matte black with some pretty subdued silver highlights.  They have some much more wild graphics if that's your thing. 

I think it is a good helmet at the normal $200 price point, but with the mark-down, it is a great value IMHO. 
 
is is a modular helmet? 

i think i will just look it up, thanks for the info. 

I have a fulmer m2 and have just about worn it out.

It's a standard full-face, and quite nice at that. This will fit a medium-round/round head shape. They sell different thickness padding for these as well, so you can customise the fit pretty well. I had to do that for an older CL-Max to get it to fit my head properly.
 
I just recently purchased a scorpion ex1100 full face helmet. Its scorpion tct shell with dual shields, inflation system, and few other features. It's not there top dog but same construction and protection. $200 delivered and I'm surprised at how much lighter it is from my other helmets.

I purchased an HJC FG-17 this spring (although not quite this cheap) and am very happy with it.  It is the quietest helmet I've owned and it actually fits me well which is a plus since I have a hard time finding a good fitting helmet.
