i am planning to buy an HJC ac-3 with shield for city use. is this a good helmet? i have read that the shield held and protected the face when a guy crashed with it. i read it in motorcyclesuperstore.com

around how much is the cheapest? how much for the shield?? thanks guys!!

AC 3 has a tag price of 4000. Shield is @ 1000. source is Triumph Marketing at caloocan between 8th. & 9th. Ave.

OK ang AC-3 kasi DOT & SNELL approved. Removable & washable ang linings. HJC AC-3 is the FINEST TOURER sabi sa website ng HJC.:)

Yung sakin HJC AC-2. Oks narin.

I wish talaga ang AC-3 ang nabili ko, kaso pang AC-2 lang ang swak sa budget ko kasi noon.

Buti gusto mo open-face pala?

Yung palang ac-2 ko is for city driving ang use ko at tuwing summer ko siguro gagamitin. Halos parehas lang ang design ng AC-3. Yun lang ear-flap lang ang sa akin, instead na mismong helmet ang covered sa ears.

I encourage you to buy yung AC-3 kaysa sa ac-2, kasi mas-safer yon, kahit mas-mahal.

Oks lang dito sa amin ang open-face. I don't know kung ok yan sa EDSA, kasi mausok at ang bibilis masyado ng mga sasakyan.

what about zeus helmets?
I saw one in Marikina at about Php4,300. Yung parang Symax ng HJC! Ok ba ang review nio d2>?
BDW, I use HJC CL-12 Fullface...

Suggestion lang mga bro, mas sigurado k sa fullface helmets...:D

Yung AC-3:

HJC's finest tourer, the AC-3.
• DOT/SNELL M2000 approved fiberglass weave construction.
• Superior fit and finish.
• Exceptional ventilation featuring the ACS advanced channeling system. (3 intake & 2 exhaust vents).

• Sleek, aerodynamic visor design.
• Optional ratchet movement shield.
• Available in sizes XSmall to 2XLarge.
• Available in 6 solid colors; black, white, pearl white, silver
(shown), wineberry, and red.


dhanvic,
off-topic na bro. meron thread about sa zeus paki tignan mo nalang.

Pasencia n bro,

I think we're having a problem with the search fature of the site. it often displays no result...

but thanks anyhow! I'll try to search about it...Or you may help me with the link to the topic covering zeus helmets
thanks:D

scooter123,

Follow-up lang bakit ok ang AC-3?

IMHO lang.

Oks ito sa:
1) City driving na hindi gaanong mabibilis ang traffic. Example nalang dito sa amin. Usually ang speed ng mga sasakyan ay up to 40kph lang, kasi slower ang traffic dito compare sa Manila.
2) Yung hindi polluted air. Dito sa amin meron pa naman route na hindi polluted ang air. Sa mismong city lang medyo mausok, dahil nga sa mga mismong passenger jeepneys.
3) Kapag summer hindi ka gaanong maiinitan. Kagaya nga ng na post ko a while ago, I think I'll use my AC-2 open-face sa summer, para hindi ako gaanong maiinitan. I tried to use yesterday ang full-face kong HJC, ang init!

Depende kasi sa needs ng rider yan. Siempre priority natin ang protection kaysa sa comfort diba? Ikaw na ang nakakaalam kung pwede ang open-face sa situation mo.:)

thanks guys!! froi, i also use the AC-2 for city riding... But i need a shield... Ayoko nauusukan ang mukha ko hehehe :D at ayoko na mapuwing :C , sakit eh

i went to triumph this afternoon and fitted all of the open face (w/ shield) HJC helmets they have.. you know what, the AC-3 won't fit my head... ang sakit sa ears hehehe... i settled for a cl-22 instead.. mas mura, and yet the fit is perfect!
also liked the visor design, protection din yun eh in case sumemplang

now i might sell the ac-2

thanks guys!

Ako kasi medium size sa mga HJC helmet brands. Bumili ako ng HJC CL-12, FG10-K, & AC-2 puro medium sizes. Wala naman problem sa akin!:)

Ano ba ang circumference ng head mo? Sa akin kasi 57cm to 58 cm. Dapat alamin mo anu ang tamang sukat ng ulo mo. Meron naman tip sa HJC website paano sukatin ang head circumference mo at tips para sa tamang fit na helmet.:)

i am a M or L sa HJC depende sa model... i just find it weird na hindi kumasya sa akin yung L ng AC-3... sa may ears area, it won't fit... hehehe...

anyway, i got a cl-22 already... nice fit!

naks! change scoot, change helmet din! sarap a! kaingit! :D

v22, hehehe :D
medyo napag-trip-an lang yung may shield :D
