dude, have you ridden a helmet with no vents sticking out of the top past 150? The crap HJC i have is so glass like smooth compared to the vented Arai it's just sad. Keep in mind these are not IN the helmet, but ON the helmet, sticking up to catch air. It sucks. I didn't think a thing about it picking it up... I just thought "OOOOOH!!! Arai!! All the ads of racers in Sportrider show them wearing Arai so I should love it!" It fits my pointy head okay, I'm just disappointed in feel. NO better padding than my $99 HJC, WORSE areodynamics, .... no, I'm not bitter... I'll put my cash in a quiet, comfy, larger viewing shielded Shoei next time.You Are All High!WWJD, Your Vents are causing Drag? THATS THEIR JOB, you know, collect AIR!
Vents creating drag.... WWJD... Your a funny guy...
WIND CATCHING VENTS?my Arai FITS great. It's the lack of decent foam padding and wind catching vents that irk me. but im sure it's a s good as any other helmet. I've worn better than THIS model. as long as me noggin gets protected just in case
no, I'm totally serious. I probablly do one very highspeed run everytime I go fun riding and little changes make a differnece in comfort level. first day with the Arai, I noticed the tugging on my head from the Arai. I'm not gonna sell you on it, just try it yourself and you will see. The vents are a great idea and do work wonderfully, but I would prefer to sweat and cut my drag coeffecient instead.[
WIND CATCHING VENTS?DUDE ROFL.... You really are high! Your Honestly going to tell me that you can feel the difference in Drag from the VENTS?He he... Um... I think your being a little strange here bro... You have a finely tuned set of neck muscles if your serious.... What I will offer up is that Arai's ventilation really works, if you get more drag well that would be a penalty I would gladly pay...
Now then, SHOEI Offers a Wider FOV?Now I know you have some sorta Arai vendeta going here... The FOV for the two are nearly identical, The Shoei visor with the hardware under neath may give the impression of wider FOV but they are identical...
Drag because of vents.... he he he.... Your Killen me WWJD...
Maybe you got a counterfit Arai?
