The Rpha 71 by HJC is a full face helmet, which protects the entire head and jaw. For this reason, this type of helmet is considered the safest and most durable for both travel and city rides. It is made of composite fibre, that is, from synthetic fibers that make it flexible and resistant to shock absorption. It fastens with a double d ring, also known as a ring. It is the safest and most reliable fastening, but it requires both hands to tie. The helmet has the new European safety certification "ECE 22.06", which ensures that the helmet is tested at 18 impact control points instead of 6 as before. It is pinlock ready, which means that there is the possibility of installing an additional accessory for the visor that helps to prevent fogging during the winter months. The anti-fog film is not included in the package. Additionally, it features a sun visor, which is an internal sunshade film, like glass, for protection from the sun.

I really didn't expect such poor quality from HJC. In this price range, such noise cannot be justified in a closed helmet. We are talking even for use with a scooter at low speeds. Yes, it has good build quality and the visor is very convenient, but the noise is unbearable. Don't waste your money, it's a shame
The helmet is very good, it fits perfectly on my head, it feels like I'm in my living room (very comfortable), very good quality materials, very good ventilation, quite aerodynamic, large field of vision.
BUT, while the helmet seems to be very quiet in terms of sound insulation, I noticed that even at low speeds of 30+ km/h, there are incredible swirls in the ears!
There is no air leakage from any vent or from the visor, there is no problem, that's how it is designed. It has two low caps on the right and left that open for the intercom system, which is made for this helmet, but even from those caps, noise goes directly into the ears. If I put my hands on the holes, I can't hear anything and the helmet is completely quiet. I read on Reddit that others had this problem and they put tapes on the holes and other solutions.
I reached the point of considering returning the helmet to the store where I bought it because besides the noise, I noticed that the visor doesn't lock when you put the pinlock on, it can be seen in the photo. The factory pinlock, which comes in the box with the helmet!
The helmet has a mechanism where the visor closes, locks, and has something like a lock that you have to press a button to open. The visor doesn't lock with the pinlock on.
In the end, the store sent me to the dealership where they told me that the noise issue is due to my riding position and that HJC never makes mistakes, etc., and as for the visor, they kept the helmet for a few days, tried other pinlocks, tried other visors, and saw that it's exactly the same with the other RPHA 71 helmets, and they simply told me to go and take it back as it is and that they sent an email to HJC and will send me an email when they have a response. Meanwhile, I also sent an email to HJC Europe and waited a week and a half for a response, trying to see if they can find a solution.
I'm crying my money on a touring helmet where above 80 km/h it feels like an airplane taking off in your ears.
Edit: HJC Europe told me to send the helmet to France for inspection, but I didn't want to go through the process.
The dealership in Greece still hasn't given me any answer regarding the visor lock.
Average to good aerodynamics, the fastening of the visor is a bit difficult but it easily unfastens with a finger, I just don't know how long it will hold up.
Very good ventilation, good build quality, and the tinted glass for the sun is perfect. What made me regret spending my money was the noise from the air coming in from the chin and at low speeds.
