Full details

The HJC RPHA 31 Open Face Helmet is designed for adult urban riders seeking a balance of lightness, advanced protection, and enhanced visibility. Its key benefit lies in its Premium Integrated Matrix (P.I.M) Evo shell and aerodynamic design, offering superior shock resistance and stability.

FAQs

Is the HJC RPHA 31 helmet suitable for long-distance touring?

The HJC RPHA 31 offers good comfort and features beneficial for touring, such as its aerodynamic design and airflow system. However, as an open-face helmet, it provides less protection than a full-face helmet, which might be a consideration for very long or high-speed tours.

Does the helmet come with a Pinlock insert?

The helmet comes 'Pinlock Ready,' meaning it is designed to accept a Pinlock anti-fog insert, but the insert itself is typically sold separately.

How do I clean the interior of the helmet?

The interior liner is designed to be removable. Hand wash it gently with mild soap and cool water, rinse thoroughly, and allow it to air dry completely before reassembling.

What does ECE 22/06 certification mean?

ECE 22/06 is a European safety standard that sets rigorous requirements for helmet construction, including impact absorption, resistance to penetration, and safety-related features. Certification ensures the helmet meets high protection and quality criteria.

Can I replace the visor?

Yes, replacement visors are generally available for HJC helmets. Consult your local dealer or HJC's official website for part numbers and replacement instructions specific to the RPHA 31 model.

What is the main difference between this and a full-face helmet?

The primary difference is coverage. An open-face helmet, like the RPHA 31, leaves the chin and lower face exposed, offering less impact protection compared to a full-face helmet which encloses the entire head and chin.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels too tight or too loose.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Consult the sizing chart or try on different sizes if possible. The interior padding may also compress slightly over time.

Sun shield is difficult to adjust.

Ensure the shield mechanism is clean and free of debris. Gently operate the adjustment sliders, ensuring they are fully engaged in each of the three positions.

Visor fogs up easily.

This helmet is Pinlock-ready. For optimal anti-fog performance, install a compatible Pinlock insert. Ensure the visor is clean.

Air vents are not effectively cooling.

Make sure the intake and exhaust vents are open and not obstructed by dirt or debris. Riding at higher speeds generally increases airflow effectiveness.

Care:
