Genuinely believe that most known make crash helmets are much of a muchness when it comes to protection. RIDE magazine recently found that Shoei had better impact protection to other makes but to be honest no crash helmet will protect you if you head butt a lorry

The original question was whether the salesman's advice that 'Arai were better by far' was correct. I sincerely hope that none of us ever have to to put that claim to a serious test.

You pays your money and you makes your choice ......

Pardon my hearing has gone



No like Henners says it's of no use when you head butt a truck.

It is important that they fit well.

I've used Arai's for the last 8 years but I'm probably gonna defect soon to Shoei as I've never been able to get used to Arai's visor changing system. I've just had to fork out for a side pod that broke after my ham fisted attempts & lost another which flew off on the M1.

If memory serves me correc, the RIDE Test which keeps cropping up was on sub £400 helmets, the Arai Corsair wasn't tested as it's officially more than that, same for the Shoei X-Spirit
