If you're on the lookout for a solid helmet for your kids that doesn’t break the bank, the HJC CL-Y is definitely worth a look. I’ve had a chance to put this helmet through its paces, and honestly, it’s a real gem for young riders. Weighing in at just 2.95 lbs, it’s super lightweight, so they won’t feel like they’re lugging around a brick on their heads. Plus, the matte black finish gives it a sleek look that kids love.
Comfort is key, especially for the little ones, and this helmet doesn’t disappoint. The interior is plush and made from Nylex, which means it’s soft against their skin and easy to clean. You can pop out the cheek pads and liner to wash them, which is a lifesaver after a long day of riding. And let’s be honest, kids can get a little messy.
One of the standout features is the built-in PCI Exclusive Communications system. It’s custom wired, so they can stay connected while they ride, thanks to the high-watt speakers and microphone. Plus, the H2NO water-resistant pigtail is a nice touch for those unexpected weather changes. Just keep in mind, while it’s DOT approved for recreational use, it’s not designed for racing, so save those high-speed adventures for another helmet.
The shield offers 95% UV protection, which is crucial for those sunny days out on the trails. And when it comes to changing out the shield, you’ll appreciate the quick, tool-less removal and installation. No more fumbling around with screws while your kiddo is ready to ride!
In short, the HJC CL-Y Youth Wired Helmet is a fantastic choice for parents who want a reliable, comfortable, and stylish helmet for their young riders. It checks all the boxes without emptying your wallet.

Who is Behind PCI Race Radios?PCI Race Radios was started in 1972 when Bob Steinberger put communications in the vehicles of Bill Stroppe, Joe MacPherson and Walker Evans. At the 1974 Mint 400, Steinberger sent up three weather balloons with 500 feet of coax attached to them. It was that day when the first successful radio relay from a pit was made. Since then, Bob’s iconic status has spanned through nearly half a century of work with his communications brand, PCI Race Radios.
Bob Steinberger passed away in 2017, handing over the company to his son Scott, who has been racing since 1983. Scott Steinberger understands what goes into racing and the importance of quality (communication) products that help get you to the finish line.
