Any of last seasons arais knocking about/when is next season

[Tristan.]

Was in HG picking up a new catalogue the other day, when I did something foolish, since I've never even touched an arai before I decided to see if they fitted me.

Oh god, I thought my other helmets fitted, but this was like having a really fat lady put her legs round my face, it was amazing.

And now I need an arai to be fair I was planning on a new helmet soonish, my old HJC is pretty cheap and has taken a few knocks, and the marushin has a poorly finished feel, is too noisy, and pushes into my face at speed. I really really want this shark, but I'm not tarty enough to buy a helmet just cos it looks good, and because the arai fitted so well I would feel silly going for anything else.

Now onto the questions, firstly, I notice arai have a lot of different ranges, do all the ranges have the same head shape, or will I have to get the name of the range that fits me? Secondly, I really don;t like any of the designs in the current range, so it'll probably be a matt black/gloss white depending on if I feel sensible on the day, when do they change their range. I have a feeling it was quite recently, any recomendations of places that are likely to have quite a few of last season arais about (online or brick and morter,) so I can see if I like any of em, cheaper too

If I remember right....

Arai have 2 different shell shapes spread through the range, I couldn't reliably tell you which is which though.

Otherwise, they are utterly lush lids, my only critisim would be to keep an eye on your cheek pads as they can compress a little bit more than you'd expect. Easy enough to sort on most of them except the condor afaik.
