Anyone ever wear/use this helmet? This is the one the girlfriend wants and I've been doing some research on it but haven't found any real helpful reviews. I'm curious as to the quality of the flip down sun visor. Any other input is appreciated.
Wow, you must be smoking something. HJC helmets are excellently made. I have owned two of them.

Look at reviews from people who own them and wear them, not people who heard from a friend's friend's brother's cousin.
how long do you expect to keep a helmet you get for a 100 bucks?so a helmet that fit well to begin with was on the verge of beeing too loose after a couple years...
I have an AGV helmet that after close to 8 years still fits well... it is a touch looser but I haven't changed the liner in the past couple years... the paint is perfect.. and never once had an issue with aerodynamics...
I own a couple helmets but won't touch one of those nasty HJC things...
they are a 1 or 2 year throw away helmet... that is if you don't mind the noise and wind drag on the thing...
unless you get their top models, they are terrible helmets...
granted I've not tried the IS-16 helmet specificaly... but I won't touch those things now... I prefer safe, well made helmets... I'd rather not risk it on hit and miss quality....
