Arai profile helmet review


I recently sold all of my street helmets. There was an issue with everyone of them, either too big or too small. I purchased a KBC helmet online and it fits great however the excessive wind noise is unsatisfactory. My riding buddy John suggested I try on his extra Arai profile and it fits perfect. We struck a deal and I was off to test the best helmet made at highway speeds.

The first thing I noticed was the overall fit and finish of the helmet. The face shield fits very flush and the interior padding is plush. The Arai is a quiet helmet for sure. Compared to the KBC it wins by a wide margin. A Quick turn of the head to check traffic at speed, this helmet doesn't move or whip your head around. I have always known that Arai makes exceptional products I just haven't been willing to cough up the big bucks. I now believe it is worth every penny!
