Motorcycle riding is an awesome activity and yeah, it\u2019s a lot of fun \u2013 but not if you\u2019re wearing a crappy helmet that could make a minor accident result in a fatal injury. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/firstcheckpoint.com\/hjc-cl-17-helmet-review\/\" data-lasso-id=\"8549\">We\u2019ve reviewed the HJC CL-17<\/a> helmet in a previous article and today, we\u2019re here to tell you all about its good friend, the HJC FG-17. This is another great helmet and true to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hjchelmets.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"8550\">HJC\u2019s quality promise<\/a>, the helmet has everything you need for safe touring, street rides and maybe even a bit of speeding \u2013 all within the speed limit, of course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-what-to-consider-before-buying-a-helmet\">What to Consider Before Buying a Helmet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We don\u2019t want to bore you. Heck, we don\u2019t want to bore ourselves and re-writing all the information that we\u2019ve already mentioned is a bit tedious. Head over to our <a href=\"https:\/\/firstcheckpoint.com\/hjc-cl-17-helmet-review\/\" data-lasso-id=\"8551\">HJC CL-17 helmet review<\/a> to read the in-depth description of things to consider before buying a helmet. Here\u2019s a quick recap of the information:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>The helmet\u2019s purpose: Buy the appropriate helmet for your intended activity. The HJC FG-17 is a great option for daily commutes and street touring.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Safety: Never buy a helmet that\u2019s not safety approved! Read more about <a href=\"https:\/\/firstcheckpoint.com\/motorcycle-helmet-safety-standards\/\" data-lasso-id=\"8552\">helmet safety standards<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Helmet composition: Choose a helmet that is lightweight and made from strong materials. Don\u2019t forget about the importance of ventilation and inner padding!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Head size and helmet fit: A helmet needs to fit securely in order to provide maximum safety. Pressure points are not supposed to be there so if the helmet is too tight, try a bigger size.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Price: One day, in the perfect world, we won\u2019t have to worry about budget but for now it\u2019s a good thing to keep in mind. After all, you need to have some money left to spend on extra gear (and something small for your wife, always a good idea!)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-all-about-the-hjc-fg-17\">All About the Hjc Fg-17<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The features available in this model are impressive. HJC is a Korean company that has been manufacturing helmets since 1971. The company prides itself for producing helmets following a careful manufacturing process that includes 3D-modelling and auto-CAD technology to ensure a contoured fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>HJC helmets are made with specifications including aerodynamic ability, ventilation and noise isolation. The helmets are Snell- and DOT-approved, with each undergoing a rigorous testing product to ensure that the helmets are made according to strict quality standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The FG-17 is another great example of a HJC helmet that is made according to strict quality and safety standards. There are sizes available from X-Small to 5X-Large and if you\u2019re looking for gear to match your motorcycle riding gear and accessories, the black, white and silver options (in matte or gloss) are perfect. The helmet is inspected by hand prior to being shipped off so you can rest easy knowing that the FG-17 is ready for the open road!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-main-review\">HJC FG-17 Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-affiliate-plugin-lasso\"><div id=\"lasso-anchor-id-20319-9298\" class=\"lasso-container\">\n    <!-- LASSO DISPLAY BOX (https:\/\/getlasso.co) -->\n\t<div class=\"lasso-display lasso-splash lasso-url-amzn-hjc-helmets-valve-mens-fg-17-street-motorcycle-helmet-mc-8sf-small \">\n\n\t\t<!-- BADGE -->\n\t\t\n\t\t<!-- LASSO TITLE, PRICE, DESC, AND IMAGE -->\n\t\t<div class=\"lasso-box-1\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"lasso-image\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B01M0VVXK9?tag=fst-hjc-fg-17-helmet-review-20\" data-lasso-box-trackable=\"true\" data-lasso-id=\"20319\" data-lasso-name=\"HJC FG-17 Motorcycle Helmet\" title=\"HJC FG-17 Motorcycle Helmet\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/firstcheckpoint.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/51TEvkrXj1L._SL500_.webp\" height=\"500\" width=\"500\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"HJC FG-17 Motorcycle Helmet\">\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<!-- BUTTONS -->\n\t\t<div class=\"lasso-box-2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<H3>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"lasso-title\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B01M0VVXK9?tag=fst-hjc-fg-17-helmet-review-20\" data-lasso-box-trackable=\"true\" data-lasso-id=\"20319\" data-lasso-name=\"HJC FG-17 Motorcycle Helmet\" title=\"HJC FG-17 Motorcycle Helmet\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tHJC FG-17 Motorcycle Helmet\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/H3>\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lasso-price\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"lasso-amazon-prime\"><\/i>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lasso-description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Exterior<\/h3><p>The FG-17 gives us a good hint about its exterior in the name \u2013 FG stands for fiberglass, emphasising the high quality of the helmet shell that is composed of Kevlar and fiberglass matrix. That\u2019s right, Kevlar. Like the stuff they use in bulletproof vests \u2013 so badass. Fiberglass also offers several benefits over regular molded shells, the primary advantages being that it lasts longer and holds up better under high impact. This helmet will absorb shock better by distributing the force across the helmet\u2019s surface.<\/p><p>The anti-scratch visor is strong and provides 95% UV protection. HJC has really taken this helmet to the next level by including a strong fog-resistant shield and a locking mechanism to keep the shield sealed and secure when riding at fast speeds. The helmet is equipped with the HJC RapidFire II shield replacement system that allows for tool-free installation and easy removal. The face shield has a center locking lift tab that\u2019s easy to operate even while riding. It also has five detents which makes defogging much easier.<\/p><p>The helmet is equipped with a great ventilation system too: the ACS Advanced Channelling Ventilation System. A top intake vent and rear vents allow air to flow through. In terms of riding irritations, few things are as bothersome as moisture that builds up inside so ventilation is essential to help pull the heat from the interior. A chin bar vent also helps provide horizontal aiflow to prevent fogging.<\/p><h3>Interior<\/h3><p>HJC has several interior cooling systems to keep the inner padding moisture-free. The FG-17 comes with a \u2018SilverCool\u2019 interior that\u2019s not only moisture-wicking but also lined with advanced anti-bacterial material.<\/p><p>The name comes from the fact that the liner is actually weaved with silver thread, a material that is popular for its antimicrobial properties. Functional AND fancy. The liners are odor free and can be removed for easy washing. In fact, the whole interior lining can be removed and washed in the washing machine.<\/p><p>Like most HJC helmets, this model comes with only a clear shield but a tinted shield can be bought separately and easily inserted with the helmet\u2019s Pinlock insert. In fact, HJC offers extra Pinlock ready shields in smoke, dark smoke and amber, as well as mirrored shields in silver, blue and gold shades.<\/p><p>The helmet also comes with a larger than normal eyeport that provides excellent visibility. Any seasoned rider will tell you in a heartbeat that a wider field of vision is a luxury you deserve to have and with this helmet, you\u2019re not paying hundreds of bucks extra for it.<\/p><p>The helmet suits the majority of head shapes but offers a slightly tighter fit than other helmets suited for a round head shape. It also provides a fit better suited to racing, which makes it an attractive choice for motorcycle riders who want to ride at high speeds and maybe veer off road now and then. If the fit feels too tight, the cheek pads can be switched out for ones with thinner material.<\/p><p>There is certainly no need to compromise on quality \u2013 The ideal choice of helmet for a safety concerned tight budget<\/p><ul><li>Kevlar and fiberglass composite shell<\/li><li>Easy shield replacement system<\/li><li>Great ventilation<\/li><li>Anti-microbial interior lining<\/li><li>Extended field of vision<\/li><li>Very affordable<\/li><li>Blocks out road noise<\/li><li>No ear inserts for&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/firstcheckpoint.com\/best-bluetooth-motorcycle-helmet\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"background-color: transparent; color: var(--global-palette-highlight);\">Bluetooth headset<\/a><\/li><\/ul><p><br><\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<a class=\"lasso-button-1\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B01M0VVXK9?tag=fst-hjc-fg-17-helmet-review-20\" data-lasso-box-trackable=\"true\" data-lasso-id=\"20319\" data-lasso-name=\"HJC FG-17 Motorcycle Helmet\" title=\"HJC FG-17 Motorcycle Helmet\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">\n\t\t\t\tCheck Price\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"lasso-end\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lasso-disclosure\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lasso-date\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-alternatives\">HJC FG-17 Alternatives<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-affiliate-plugin-lasso\"><div id=\"lasso-anchor-id-16583-9299\" class=\"lasso-container\">\n    <!-- LASSO DISPLAY BOX (https:\/\/getlasso.co) -->\n\t<div class=\"lasso-display lasso-splash lasso-url-amzn-ls2-helmets-citation-solid-full-face-motorcycle-helmet-with-sunshield-matte-black-x-large \">\n\n\t\t<!-- BADGE -->\n\t\t\n\t\t<!-- LASSO TITLE, PRICE, DESC, AND IMAGE -->\n\t\t<div class=\"lasso-box-1\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"lasso-image\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B01A81HGGQ?tag=fcp04-20\" data-lasso-box-trackable=\"true\" data-lasso-id=\"16583\" data-lasso-name=\"LS2 Citation Motorcycle Helmet\" title=\"LS2 Citation Motorcycle Helmet\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/firstcheckpoint.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/41pouw9gQL._SL500_.webp\" height=\"500\" width=\"500\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"LS2 Citation Motorcycle Helmet\">\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<!-- BUTTONS -->\n\t\t<div class=\"lasso-box-2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<H3>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"lasso-title\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B01A81HGGQ?tag=fcp04-20\" data-lasso-box-trackable=\"true\" data-lasso-id=\"16583\" data-lasso-name=\"LS2 Citation Motorcycle Helmet\" title=\"LS2 Citation Motorcycle Helmet\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tLS2 Citation Motorcycle Helmet\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/H3>\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lasso-price\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"lasso-amazon-prime\"><\/i>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lasso-description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>LS2 is another popular helmet manufacturer and this model bears some resemblance to HJC\u2019s FG-17 model.
