Tried on loads of helmets including Shoei, Shark, Arai etc. and found the Arai to be hands down the best fit and most comfortable helmet of the bunch. Bought the arai axces as my first lid and have been very happy with it so my next helmet will also be an Arai. Shoei were an awful fit for me but everybody's heads are different. To that end you should really try loads of helmets, as a good fit is the most important aspect of helmet choice imo.

I have an AGV S4 and find it great - cost me £150 or thereabouts with 25% discount.

I've seen it described as being noisy compared with some - and I wouldn't disagree with that, but then again my experience is fairly limited. It did seem a good buy price-wise and it comes with integral sun visor /shades as well !

I wasn't too thrilled at the chin fastening at first, being used to the older ring type, but it seems to work well once I got used to it.

As others have said - try several on and pick the one best suited to your head and pocket !

I do like the fit of the Arai but I reckon i'll wait until bike live at the NEC and see if there are any deals going.I went out for a 160 mile ride yesterday and forgot my earplugs felt like my head was going to explode by the time I got back Sad
