Use and care

To keep your HJC i31 at the peak of comfort and protection, a littleregular maintenance goes a long way. The outer shell? A soft microfiber cloth, lukewarm water and neutral soap, and you're all set. For the screen, the same technique: clean microfiber, without aggressive products, to avoid scratches or annoying marks.

And if over time your helmet starts to lose its shape or freshness, don't panic: spare parts are available on iCasque.co.uk! You can replace only what you need:

• the inner liner (inner liner + cheeks): for optimum fit and comfort. Even if it's washable, it's advisable to change it regularly for hygiene reasons, especially if you ride often or in hot weather.
• themain screen : change it if it's scratched or if you want to switch to another shade (depending on compatibility).
• the internal sunshield: easily replaceable, it prevents glare without glasses.
• the Pinlock : to be installed inside the main screen to block fogging, super useful in winter or in the rain.
• the mounting kit: handy if you feel your screen is becoming less fluid to handle, or if a part is missing.

All these components can be replaced without the need for complicated tools. You prolong the life of your helmet, stay clean and dry, and ride with a clear head.

Mini buying guide

How to choose the right open face helmet?

A good open face helmet is one that protects you effectively while remaining light and comfortable. The first thing to look for is whether it's approved to the latest standard (ECE 22.06), like the i31. Also check for the presence of an integrated sunscreen, very useful when you're on the move. The removable, washable interior is a real plus, especially if you're on the road a lot. And if you want to stay in touch or listen to sound, opt for a model pre-equipped for intercom, like this one.

What about this Semi Flat Metallic Blue color? It's a deep blue with metallic reflections, slightly satin-finished, that plays between sportiness and elegance. Less glossy than a classic varnish but more lively than a pure matte, this blue gives the helmet a real personality without overdoing it. Perfect for those who want to stand out from the crowd without going too fluorescent, it goes equally well with sober bikes and more dynamic configurations. Highly prized by bikers who want an assertive, modern style, Semi Flat Metallic Blue also has the advantage of masking the marks and small imperfections of everyday life. And even in summer, its satin finish reduces heat a little compared with a dark gloss, for greater comfort at red lights. In short, a choice that makes a statement, while retaining a nice subtlety.
