"arai" has the historical legend name down pat buuut....
Comfy?...definantly.
Protective?...beyond question.
Cool factor?...way up there.
however....i'd just as soon attempt to skin a live bobcat with a dull potatoe peeler while naked in a phone booth than change visors on an arai helmet.
Their visor system sux....and i feel that....for the price one pays for a top shelf lid these days?...nothing....and i repeat...."NOTHING"...should suck.
arai has not listened to the voice of the consumer for years regarding their rubics cube like (and if ya don't do it right plastic shid inside breaks)...visor...uhem....system?
I bought a QuantumII "Re-Entry" at the helmetshop in daytona about 2 years back....
and i loved eveything about the helmet but..."the visor system".
On the other hand?...Shoei listens to the voice of the consumer and delivers....
10 second visor swap...noth'in whistles and absolutely "NOTHING"..."sucks"...about a shoei.
JMHO and...L8R, Bill.
