True, but the problems weren't limited soley to the polycarbonate helmets, they were just most severe in them. afaik, they used the same foam liners in their CL poly & AC composite helmets, just the shells were different. Perhaps they've fixed the issues with the new AC-12 helmets. I have to admit that the AC-12 Carbon looks the business, but I'm reluctant to try them out, given my experience. One year after my concussion, while most of the symptoms are gone or have been more or less compensated for, I still suffer from migraines and occasional visual distortions. It's not an experience that I'm interested in repeating nor to I care to see others go through that. Until I see concrete evidence to the contrary, I'll continue to maintain that HJC hemets are dangerous junk.
