Cris Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 [ QUOTE ] All the non-CF ones seem alot heavier though? Lot cheaper too, but really think it worth it due to whip lash etc... [/ QUOTE ] I don't think that Arai make any in CF. I can't see that a CF shell would be any lighter really. CF is only strong in certain directions when lain properly. If it's too thick then it stops being light. Probably just a marketing gimmick. Have a gander. http://www.araihelmet-europe.com/php/page/index2.php?page=car_des I suggest you try and couple and see which fit your head shape. I used to think that the fuss about Arais was all hot air until I tried one on and realised that all the other helmets I've worn/owned haven't fit me properly. Many of the Arais are compatible with the HANS system if you're so inclined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woppum Posted December 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 Well got this one in the end. Open face ones didint offer enough protection. And the rally helmets had ear mufflers so you couldnt hear anything. Really pleased with it. Will get a hittle hot, but a fair compromise i think.

[/ QUOTE ] I think The Stig wears a Simpson . I only noticed this thread after you'd bought your lid, Woppum. I'd have also said be careful of going for full-face in an enclosed cockpit due to the heat - it's sometimes too warm even on a bike with a full-face lid in the summer and open-face is also less compromised for peripheral vision. Anyway, you can't go too far wrong with a quality piece of kit like the Arai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woppum Posted December 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 Yeah, I used to race motorcross bikes a long time ago so I know all about the heat! I tried everything on in the shop nd this was the one felt both most protected, comfotable and had the best vision for in car use. Have to try it out in th new year!
