FAQs

What makes the P.I.M. Evo shell different?

The P.I.M. Evo shell integrates advanced materials like carbon-aramid hybrid and natural fibers, offering superior shock absorption, improved comfort, and a lighter weight compared to traditional shell materials.

Is the helmet suitable for very hot weather?

Yes, the HJC RPHA 31 features a Full Front-to-Back Airflow System with multiple intake and exhaust vents designed to provide effective cooling, making it suitable for hot conditions.

Can I install a communication system in this helmet?

The helmet is designed with consideration for aftermarket communication systems, typically allowing space for speakers and microphones. However, direct compatibility may vary by system.

How do I clean the anti-bacterial interior lining?

The interior lining is usually removable and can be hand-washed with mild soap and cool water. It should be allowed to air dry completely before being reinstalled.

What does ECE 22/06 certification mean?

ECE 22/06 is the latest European safety standard for motorcycle helmets, indicating that the helmet has passed rigorous testing for impact absorption, structural integrity, and other safety criteria.

Is the sun shield adjustable?

Yes, the helmet features an integrated sun shield that can be adjusted to three different positions for personalized comfort and visibility.

Does the helmet come with a Pinlock insert?

The helmet features a Pinlock-ready visor, meaning it is designed to accept a Pinlock anti-fog insert. The Pinlock insert itself is typically sold separately.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels too tight or too loose.

Check helmet sizing. If too tight, consider a larger size or additional padding options. If too loose, ensure the chin strap is properly adjusted and consider thinner padding if available.

Visor fogs up excessively.

Ensure the visor is clean. Use a Pinlock anti-fog insert (sold separately) for optimal performance in humid or cold conditions. Open vents slightly to improve airflow.

Ventilation system seems ineffective.

Confirm that all vent openings are fully open and not blocked by debris. Ensure the interior lining is not obstructing airflow pathways.

Sun shield is difficult to adjust.

Gently operate the sun shield lever. If resistance is encountered, ensure no debris is obstructing the mechanism. Consult the manual for specific operating instructions.
