and most good manufacturers will go beyond that); you might find only a couple of small ports inside at best. While in the hand you can feel the difference, in more than 20 years of testing I’ve never had a lid that was too weighty in use. Arai uses a single-piece inner shell, but it’s made up of multiple densities for structural integrity… but of course, this is more expensive to make. You won’t find racers using helmets with drop-down shields, but that’s also because the design makes the brow thicker, which makes it harder to see in a racing tuck.

There are also different types of plastic lids– some use polycarbonate, which is fairly strong, while others can be snapped if they’re abused enough. com Limited is an Introducer Appointed Representative of CarMoney Limited who are authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, FRN 674094.

I’ve boosted the saturation of this image to more clearly show the three different densities moulded into the Arai inner-shell; white where it’s softest, then green, then blue at the firmest.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. It’s a common comment that some lids – particularly Arais – are ‘heavy’ when compared to lightweight carbon-fibre or plastic designs. What does affect comfort – besides the shape of a helmet compared to your head and the build of the liner – is the softness of the inner shell; the more easily that polystyrene can mould to your head, the more comfortable it’s likely to be. Arai makes its outer shells to be extremely strong, the idea being that an impact force is spread over a larger area, before being dissipated by a soft inner liner.Some of the technologies we use are necessary for critical functions like security and site integrity, account authentication, security and privacy preferences, internal site usage and maintenance data, and to make the site work correctly for browsing and transactions. The only real place a helmet is likely to add weight is in its shell, and it’s the very strong outer of the Arai that makes up that weight. You might find channels cut into the inner liner, which can help improve airflow, but as explained earlier, they can also be used to alter the effective density of the polystyrene during impact testing.
