Okay so im after a new lid unfortunately Arai's are a bit out of my price range ive seen a couple of shoei ones i like but there expensive aswell

I currently have a KBC, had it for nearly 4 years! Would have another one just looking for some advice on some other decent lids

^ what he said.
The Arai label on a hat is just that, a label. Visor mount broke on my Arai the first time I wore it, that never happened with cheaper helmets.

Also ratings of helmets on there, but I don't know how accurate they are. (Nice to know my AGV Stealth has a 5 star rating Smile

Fit, which for me means Shark helmets, no other helmet fits.

4 Star helmet costs £30 most places. Go figure.

Interesting link (I think)

My X-lite comes out better than Arai @ 4star

Agree it is hard to find a good fit.

I've discovered that AGV helmets fit me really well. Although if my T2 wasn't free then I seriously doubt I'd have paid £300 for it.

I've got a fat head, so I find that Shark helmets are perfect. Tried on an XL Arai, and it felt as though my brain might have exploded Shocked

I've had an RST cobravent for a year and has done me well.
Good to see it gets 4 stars on that site too Very Happy

The only problem i've had with it is the padding on the inside. It has worn a bit so it'll move about more than it should if i dont wear my balaclava type thingy underneath Sad
