If I want to increase my peripheral vision, what helmets would you guys recommend. I'm debating between an Arai Corsair and a Shoei X-11.

I have the RF1000 now but want a little more peripheral vision. I had heard the X11 makes this possible with a different shield.

I would say X-11 although not sure which one is quieter between the two.

Different brands have different shell shapes...you need to try them on to see what fits YOU the best

I find the Shoei to be better, in general, at least because of the shape of my head...
The Arai's are rounder-profiled, seemingly, so it takes me more turning to get a full rear-view sweep. With the narrower-profiled Shoei, the pillars (which run vertical next to your eyes) are closer to my eyes, allowing ME a more open field-of-vision.
The greatest suggestion here has already been written. Go try 'em on. Get the one which is best for you... And, since we're all different shape/sizes, all the advice you'll get, in the end, is merely subjective.
Good luck, yo!

I vote for the X-11
My only experience with Arai was many years ago, but I remember that I liked the build quality and fit. I considered getting an Arai, but I don't like shield design.
My real preference would remain with Shoei. I have had RF-800s, RF-1000s, and my current X-11. I like the overall fit of the X-11, as opposed to the RF-1000, which also fits very well. As far as being quiet, the X-11 is great. As with any helmet, when you have all of your vents open, you will have noticeably more wind noise.
Whichever way you go, the fit should be a primary deciding factor

You should try an aray of helmets on at your dealer to see what feels comfortable to you and what you see best out of...everybody will be different.
