HOLY SHIT. (Idon't like to swear) . You want the best helmet availible , Buy an Arai. That was painful reading this. Too much crap and for to long to change my mind. Your head is worth ,what you pay for !
You wear a $100 helmet you have a $100 head.

I didn't find it dry at all. I thought it was rather interesting. Kind of like reading an episode of Mythbusters.

Yeah it was interesting. My next helmet will be an Arai. You only get one head and brain until science perfects that transplant too. Might as well protect your noggin in the mean time.

I am waiting till payday to order my new Arai, I think I am getting this one:

I think it is all about fitment. Shoei and Arai tended to run a bit narrower so since I have a wider head this was not an option at all. For street I run with an Icon helmet. On dirt I have a Fly Racing one. Both work well and fit great. You just have to see which fits your head best.

I got a SHIFT AGENT for mine it is comfy to me. Looked at the fly racing helmets but ended up getting mine on closeout at rocky for almost half price for my b-day. I liked the Arai jolly roger helmet but the budget at the time wouldn't allow it.

 

[Crash21]

I almost bought that one

Should be here tomorrow!

 

[phucknutz]

scary to read about what could happen to you!

 

[SilliestMomma]

I wanna know where the $79.95 Aria helmet is or did I misread this? All the prices I saw were $300 or more.

Funny thing is as long as you wear a helmet your much more protected that those not wearing one. The brand really doesn't matter that much. I survived a 55mph impact on my motorcycle into the side of a car that pulled out 10' in front of me wearing an $100 HJC helmet. I spent a week in the ICU and had some brain trauma but have fully recovered. I would not be here today if it weren't for that helmet. I still use HJC today and not that ARAI and SHOEI aren't worth it... but some of us can't afford $600 for a helmet that if you accidently drop from 1' has to be replaced because the foam liner is shot. All I'm saying is wear a helmet period and you'll be much better off.

You wear a $100 helmet you have a $100 head.
