Tray Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 I have used HJC's for a few years (SyMax) and like them with one exception. Water leaks in around the top of the shield. Are there any flip helmets that do not do this? I was thinking of the new Nolan CX-1002. Anyone with one care to offer their thoughts? Link to comment
GaryIF Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 Can't say about the new model Nolan but have used the N100E for two years with nary a leak. Link to comment
teecro Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 My Shoie Syncrotec does not leak either. When it is time for a new lid I do not think I will go with the Shoie this time. The price has gone up drastically for some reason. When I bought the one I have it was $300 delivered. They are now over $400. The price is getting close to that of a Schuberth Concept II so I think I will go that way next. Link to comment
tomk99r11 Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 Well, I know I will get pounced on by someone(s) but my Jarrow (aka Caberg) does not leak! Link to comment

While I have not tried it, I believe you can proabably use a thin piece of rubber striping to fix. I'm going to try to use my old Nolan N100 top stip to see if it'll stop the leaks. Definately irritating though... Link to comment
bmw_rider Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 I have a Shoe Synchrotech as well. 99.99 % of the time it doesn't leak. I horizontal rain it leaks. (I don't ride in horizontal rain anymore. It wasn't fun. It was as close to a tornado as I care to be.) That said, basically it doesn't leak. Also my BMW System 2 helmet NEVER leaked, just flat wore it out. Link to comment
axabmw Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 If you're happy with the helmet otherwise glue a windscreen wiper blade at the top edge to see if that stops the problem. Link to comment
Texan Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 I have the Jarow Mono X2 and it has started leaking. May have to try the windshield wiper trick. Otherwise I love the helmet, especially the slide down dark visor. Link to comment
