Always been Arai, until 2 years ago and switched to Shoei.

Much happier with the comfort, weight and visor mech.

Give NEXX lids a try....very good lids and comfy too

Had an Arai, but switched to Shoei last year as my glasses wouldn't fit properly in any of the new Arai helmets. Have to say it is probably better than my Arai, definitely better visor mechanism

I tried a few on today.
Favourite is the AGV Corsa R.
The Shoei was arguably the most comfortable, but the Large I tried seemed to have a really big shell.
Just need to haggle a bit because I fancy the VR46 blue one, and the visor is £82!

Have always had Shoei. Got an AGV as a spare and its much noisier and the paint quality is nowhere near as good

82 quid for a visor Holy Shit!

The helmet is £699!  Not sure I'm willing to pay the extra £150 for the VR homage!

I also just got an Xlite X802-RR for a very good price, only drawback is it is a bit bling as it is the DK Moto3 champ rep
KTM SD 1290R

Just bagged a Shoei x-spirit III with black visor for £450!
Feeling smug :)

I had some hipster type ask where I got the jacket and he had a sad face when I told him it was a genuine old Dainese and not an 'aged' one.
