Arai Helmets

my condor came with pinlock.

I've got an Astro R and have no complaints - also came with pinlock etc.

Viper GT has lots of vents which is awesome, being a girlie I have to consider my hair. With them all closed my hair is a mess 9hot and sweaty) when I take off lid. With some open its lovely and vented.

The chin pull down vent as well is good for when I forget my snood. I am glad I paid that bit extra, never looked back. (And I didnt even need a new lid)

On helmet city website viper works out at 95 more expensive than astro race but you get all this for free(whoooo)

• Helmet City Fur lined Helmet bag worth £39.95
• Arai Dark Smoke Race Visor worth £44.99
• Arai Maintenance kit worth £9.99

you just get bored and buy summit you do lol

as for you girls and your hair

I got a new Arai the other week... a Condor... its my first Arai ever. Feels nice, noise level seems the same as my KBC and some other helmets I've owned.

Just wear earplugs for the windnoise. It's a good idea even if you don't think the helmet's particularly noisy IMHO.
I've got a condor myself (budget reasons). Really like it. Fairly noisey without plugs, but I'd never ride without plugs on a journey more than 10 mins.

What did you opt for in the end?

still not decided bbut its going to be the viper just have to decide wether its patriotic and saltire or go for design with sinister blue. Too many choices.
