New Lid HJC IS 17 or HJC RPHA ST??

New Lid HJC IS 17 or HJC RPHA ST??

Hi Guys,

Did loads of trying on helmets over the weekend from Shark, AGV, Schuberth, HJC etc and settled on HJC as fits me best…

Now the issue I thought of getting IS 17 first as it could be got for as low as 215 EUR and it’s 5 star rated by Sharp with pinlock included and sun visor.

Spotted one model up which is RPHA ST with the same features but probably a bit lighter due to different shell material and designed more towards touring. The biggest sell point for me would be wind tunnel testing which RPHA had to keep wind noise down but not the cheaper model IS 17. Both have the same features…
Is it worth paying more 360 EUR for RPHA vs 215 EUR IS 17??

Lid would be used mainly for commuting with occasional longer trip!

I am looking for opinions of users of one of the above models please before I pull the trigger!

Cheers
Paul
