I bought the clear non-anti-fog HJC HJ-09 face shield to replace the original that came with the HJC CL-SP helmet. The original face shield was pretty banged up and scraped up from all of the rocks, bumps, and bugs that come after 2 years of service. The face shield is ridiculously easy to replace once you know how to do it. The procedure is hard to describe in text. There are instructional videos on the HJC website.
I bought the non-anti-fog model thinking I didn't need it and to save a buck. I was wrong. What I should have done was spend the extra money to get the anti-fog model for the (sometimes) chilly spring mornings in southeast Michigan. If you think you might need anti-fog, get it instead.

The Joe Rocket Full Blast met my expectations. I am 6' 230# and the XL fits comfortably snug with a base layer on. Under my jacket it doesn't feel bulky. I've only been on a couple cool weather rides since it arrived and I was kept warm for both. The thumb holes are a nice touch. The longer sleeves and higher collar are the features I was looking for in a motorcycle-cut fleece. The offset zipper while a cool feature is my only gripe. Like other reviewers have said, for some reason the zipper keeps catching when trying to zip up. I think it is the odd pull angle. I'm still able to zip up and down but the up requires 2 or 3 attempts. It is worth noting this wouldn't stop me from buying another one.
