VERY FEW HELMET MANUFACTURERS HAVE THEIR OWN WIND TUNNEL TESTING FACILITY
What are the helmet purchasing customer’s benefiting from this state of the art testing? > Reducing Vortex > Improving Ventilation > Maximum Stability > Reducing Noise

Wind tunnel A wind tunnel is a research tool developed to assist for studying the effects of air moving over or around solid objects. A tunnel area through which air is blown to check how air flows around an object (such as an airplane part or model) placed in the tunnel. Wind tunnel is referred to a facility which provides a controllable flow field for testing aerodynamic models and studying flow phenomena.
Wind tunnel test description While riding a motorcycle a vortex is created at the back of a helmet. This causes the helmet to feel heavier than its actual weight and makes the helmet feel uncomfortable. At HJC, to reduce Vortex, our helmets are tested using the “HJC wind tunnel testing system” which assures that our helmets are aerodynamic and have reduced “Vortex”.
