Would make a good winter helmet, but in the summer your head will cook. Has one small intake vent in the front, and even smaller holes for the "exhaust" in the back. That's it. When I took out the lining, there were only two small holes for intake and two small holes for the 'exhaust' in the foam. Putting the liner back in, I noticed the liner covered about half the holes. Rode with it the other day in 90 degrees and was almost dangerous how hot my head got. Too late to return now as it seemed fine in milder weather. Also a shame because I love everything else about it.
Used it for a trip out to Sturgis, was louder than i expected at highway speeds. Not very good ventilation, the face shield would not stay open 1/4 inch very well so you had to rely on the top vent mostly. On a positive it does not fog up when the lower vent is open and the shaded drop down visor works really well. I wear glasses and had some concerns about looking through essentially 3 lenses but there were no issues at all.
My sixth HJC helmet. I love these things and will continue to use them as long as they keep building them like they have been.
Great helmet. Quiet! Allows for glasses to be worn. I love the pinlock face shield even though I had to purchase separately. Large sun shield for good coverage.
Great looking and fitting helmet! Very comfortable and my Sena communication system fit perfectly. Extra plus was that it matched my Harley SGS velocity red sunglo color nearly perfectly.

Description
Size:X-Large | Color:SILVER
Since 1971, HJC has specialized in manufacturing motorcycle helmets exclusively.
Owning a Sena 20S Evo, I was attracted to the i90 because it was configured for a Sena Bluetooth system. I figured it would be ideal compared to a standard helmet.
Pros - Good fit as always. Recesses and wire channels for speakers = easy fitting. I had to use a few pieces of electrical tape to hold wires in place as I reattached the liners over them.
Cons - The drop down visor should have been better executed.
First, the control slide is positioned in front of where the Sena system(s) would mount. This means the Sena mounts further back than it could fit on the helmet. This makes placement of the 20S Evo's boom-microphone more difficult, but I managed to make it work.
Second, the control IS NOT spring-loaded like my last HJC. There is no quick-retract mechanism...something I think should have been retained. For a "three position" visor, I don't see it. There's deployed, retracted and ... well, since there's no spring, I guess you can deploy it as much or as little as you desire.
I've been happy with HJC's quality over the years. The quirks regarding the visor mechanism is the only reason I don't give the i90 a 5-star rating.
The helmet is not light, it has good padding, the fit around the head is correct. Wind noise tolerable. Has a little hidden compartment for Bluetooth device and cutout for speakers. My eyeglasses didn't fit right in the helmet cutout for glasses. The modular is nice but the locking mechanism squeezes the cheek area in so that it becomes uncomfortable because my cheek and jaw are compressed. I brought a large helmet so I brought a new pair of cheek pads, which isn't cheap, on size larger. Still uncomfortable on the face.
Good helmet for the money
