yeah, I know... Its just a matter of not having the cash available... my question is, if I like the fox v3, which is normally $375 and I get it for $187 vs the $600+ for the arai, will the arai protect my head any better? they use the same materials. Like I noticed the fox v1 is junk and compares to the $100 hjc and htt, but the v3 uses all the fancy materials like the shoei and arai and shark. My thinking now though is I really want to update all of my gear and get a neck brace, the cost or an arai will allow me only to buy a helmet at this time...pstoffers wrote:dannygraves wrote:fits sooo nice, now for that $600 price tag...

Danny, I'm in the same boat. I wasted my TLD. So I'm in the market.
I agree on the fit and feel.
The Arai seems to have a smaller chin bar which should make it more brace friendly, maybe not. Haven't tried a Fox so I can't comment.
I'm thinking of forgoing the fancy paint and going solid.

Real happy with my Shift. A bit uncomfortable to put on, but very very comfy for long rides.

Helmets are sacrificial. You are supposed to replace after any significant hit. I find that difficult to do when I've paid $300+ for it. So, I buy the $150 units. Just gotta find one that fits yer noggin well. They will all do their job for the one hit they were designed for.

For the street I wear a Shark RSR2.......most comfortable street helmet Ive ever owned....super plush, great venting. I ride a 2006 Honda CBR1000 w/ an Akrapovic pipe and the Shark is extremely quiet. I havnt tried any Arai's yet.Darrell262 wrote:I ride street bike, once you go arai you dont go back on a street bike.

yeah, I know a guy who knows a guy which is how I got a powercommander eneve though I was only looking for a helmet. I guess the helmet was harder to hide
![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
the fox helmet is bitchen, came with some extras too, like an extra sun visor and hardware and a super fancy bag with a zipper and handles all paded, shit man, I think the helmet bag was worth what I paid for the helmet. super comfy and has tons of fancy features my old answer didn't, like the padded peices covering the chin straps. If I have that I wouldn't have needed stitches that one time.
anyway, I'll be taking the helmet out for the first ride this weekend.
