Default How quickly you get used to quality...

I bought an Arai Condor about a year ago and I've worn it daily since then., apart from the period when i wasn't able to ride... Now, I'm not a fan of the vents at all, or the visor system, and at times I've been pretty critical of it, but today it got absolutely soaked and so I got hte old HJC ZF-8 out of the cupboard...

I really liked that lid when I'd not tried anything else, but now it feels like wearing a tin pan on my head... What a piece of junk! It's perfectly formed to my head, I might say- better than the Arai- and the visor system works as well as I remember, much better in the wet, but it's so uncomfortable and cheap feeling... It just struck me as strange that my opinion on it's changed so dramatically in just a year.

That is all
