Arai are also the only manufacturer that supply exactly the same helmets to racers as the ones you buy in a shop.a.j wrote: And Arai & someone else 'big name, big price' do their own testing...
Buying anything that scrapes through a minimum standard, on a tight budget, doesn't seem like a smart idea to me.
Saying that, my Shoei is considerably quieter than every Arai I've had.
£100 for a helmet? A visor is about that price, isn't it??
