    looks smart.

    Lids are all about fit though.

    Try it on and make sure its comfortable. Shoei and Arai are both made to suit different shaped heads. You've either got it or not when it comes to fit. Personally, a shoei fits me spot on but the Arai rubs something cronic on my forehead. No matter how I tried it wasnt comfortable.

    Remember, its there to save your head if the worst should happen. You only get one chance!

    smart looking lid that, i must have a stig shaped head because as he says, ARAI's give me a headache because of the fit on the forehead, SHOEI's are fine though. you need to try it on first bud.
