New Helmet - RF1400

[Grumpy Goat]

Grumpy,
While some of the Arai design choices baffle me, as they do you, I think the quality of the construction is very good. As a result, I don't regret the purchase.

Oh I fully agree. I even buy into their round shape philosophy, I think. Although when you look at those who crash for a living (racers) they don’t always have Arai helmets so maybe the benefit of that shape is not that dramatic. No doubt about the quality either. My biggest problem is the aesthetics, hence my preference tends to be elsewhere.
