Me like. Wish there was a place I could try on arai to see how they fit and size.

pitfalls of living in "tha stixs"
there's used to be a vendor at all the AMA races that would size you.

Looks the same as any other Arai, frankly.
Personally earpods will always be inferior to earpod-less designs. They usually make more whistling noise, and sometimes the earpods even fall off. |

They may be the same, but I have never tried on an arai. Only shoei and hjc

I picked up a Corsair V in brand-new condition a few months ago.
It's (relatively) loud as hell, the visor fogs in a heartbeat, and the venting is only so-so. I just dumped it for a Scorpion EXO-1000 which I like FAR better, except for being a bit heavier. Years ago, top of the line Arai's & Shoei's were the way to go since there weren't high-quality cost-effective alternatives, but now I think they are just spending extra money for the sake of a name. |

I love the look of arai helmets, but for fit, nothing beats a shoei. When I get a busa, i'll have another. My rf900 picotte replica was the most comfy helmet i've ever worn. Arai's just dont feel right.

Different people have differently shaped skulls, and therefore different helmet brands/models fit (or don't) based on the individual. I wish the Shark RS2R I got a great deal on earlier this year fit my head, but no dice - wrong head shape.
