Childrens helmets are available in a variety of sizes depending on the Manufacturer, but they are generally : Sizing - Please Note : These Helmets come up on the small side, so if you are in between sizes we would suggest trying a size up. Helmet city are not responsible if the helmet does not fit. MOMO Note, in Europe the RPHA 70 ST drops the ST (Sports Touring) and is sold as the plain RPHA 70, though it’s the same helmet. In addition there are front-facing vents either side of the crown, though I can’t tell the difference between having them open and closed. This is not an issue as the other vents do an impressive job of drawing in enough airflow to regulate temperature on the inside.

HJC have been designing and manufacturing high quality protective helmets since the early 1950s. In 1971 the factory turned all of its attention to motorcycle helmets and set itself the simple goal of providing high quality, comfortable, and reasonably priced HJC helmets to motorcyclists throughout the world. This goal came a step nearer during the 1990s when HJC became America's top selling motorcycle helmet - a position it's held ever since. Today HJC helmets are available in every corner of the globe and are, quite simply, the world's biggest helmet brand, producing more motorcycle helmets than any other marque. The range of HJC helmets now encompasses the full spectrum of styles, with the widest selection of graphics, materials, and price points. Departments

If you do plump for a RPHA 70 – and there is plenty to commend the helmet for – then practise operating the little slide switch so you remember it’s there and know what to do if the occasion ever arises that you need to release it. A poorly fitting helmet may not only be uncomfortable, more noisy and may move around when riding if too big or give headaches etc if it is too small, it is also dangerous. A helmet simply will not protect or perform as designed if the head inside it is not snuggly fitted against the impact absorbing material inside the shell. complete with ALL tags in place, helmet bag, manual, protective plastic on visor and any other associated parts supplied. On the inside, you’ll find the usual removable/washable lining that you find in all but the cheapest helmets (and increasingly even in the cheapest of the cheap helmets!) and you’ll also find a glasses groove to help riding in shades and glasses more comfortable. Same Grandal design as above but this time in green.HJC call it a ‘wire type’ sun visor meaning (I think) it’s more controllable – not just giving the options of either fully up or fully down but allowing you to drop it down as much as you like. It scored just above average when the European version of the RPHA 70 ST was tested by the UK SHARP testing labs (see here for 4 & 5 star rated helmets) but it is universally praised for its comfort and quietness. The visor change is excellent – one press of a lever and it’s off, with subsequent replacement just as easy.

The HJC RPHA 70 ST is a well thought-out and carefully designed helmet. And it looks pretty cool too!

If you want a great brand, you could try the Shoei Ryd (only available after Spring 17) – or for something more tried and tested, how about the Shoei GT Air– it’s a great helmet with some excellent features, only let down by a SHARP 3 star test result. The RF-1200 does sometimes try to scrape the top of my ears if I don't remove it juuuust right, but the GT-Air was brutal. I had to look in the mirror the first time I took it off, it felt like it had torn both ears off the side of my head. It's definitely on the narrower side, at least where it matters most for comfort for me (the ears).
