Why buy Arai?
 

Cuz these guys are the shiz-nit! [sm=smiley20.gif] If anyone else owns one they know that these are the best out in the market. Well for those that don't know (and those that do), there are shield holders that keep the face shield in place. I busted my left one a little over a week ago from just lifting up my shield in an awkward angle. I was pretty pissed so I wrote Arai about it, and within a week they sent me the replacement part, no charge, no questions asked. These guys really stand by there products and know how to keep their customers happy. I went to a bike shop initially to see what they could do, and they wanted to charge me $50!! for the replacement part . If I ever have to get another helmet, it'll definately be another Arai.

Agreed.

+1 on Arai quality, comfort, and overall value.

Hmm.. my Shoei doesn't break from opening the shield :D

Just kidding, it's nice to see someone stand behind their product.

Definately on quality and comfort, but definately NOT on overall value. Those suckers are spensive. My icon is slightly less comfortable and way cheaper.

I own two Quatum F's(one's retired) and a RX-7. Nothing feels the same. My Okada Quatum if not save my life, it defintly saved my ability to eat solid foods. When figure out how to I 'll post some pics. No joke these are the only helmets that go on my head. Why buy an ARAI? Do you really need an ARAI? Why spend so much on an ARAI? I got the answer that I tell every one; how much is your head worth?
