Hi guys great review as always👍🏼😎 I have had the Arai X4 & used it on a BM S1000RR as well as a Husky Nuda 900R. When I changed bikes I just took off the peak. I found it fantastic in our Australian summers & good in the cold but maybe not in the middle of winter. My bikes hibernate like me🤣 I sold the Arai some time ago with a GS800. But this Aussie summer I will get another Arai! Cheers from Down Under

Thanks guys always love your opinions and perspectives. Nice selection, but I came to see what you thought of the Arai X4 heh.

Cool that nexx is sending you one for try it. I have the x.wed2 as well, after try the arai/shoei/airoh the Nexx was the perfect fit for me. Is the one with best specs from factory, base for action camera, pin-lock, bag for visor, has a nice aero also on highway with the peak, 3 shells sizes, etc. In Europe is cheapper than the top brands, and the quality feel is as good as them. Give it a go and keep up with the good work!

I love the 80s-90s look of the arai. Best looking mx and adventure helmet. Don’t overlook AGV too. Have an AX-8 mx and adventure helmet and they’re surprisingly comfortable for the price. The klim krios can be had for a bit cheaper without the branding. It’s called Nishua Enduro.

Come on guys. You know your stuff, but this was so unstructured. Sound was all over the place, camera work was all over the place, product topics were all the place, etc. 17 minutes of messing around with helmets leaving the viewer to concentrate where the relevant information is. It doesn't have to be fully scripted, it does help to have a basic plan and a good filming setup. Look at FortNine, now that is some next level content!

Safety is priority one and reason for wearing a helmet. Proper fitment of a helmet is crucial for a helmet to do an effective job, after that it’s safety certifications are equally important. Here in the U.S. a SNELL rating is the top certification for safety testing. Aria and Shoei have this Certication. For quality of “fit and finish” the Aria and Shoei are top shelf. For me these helmets are also the best fitting and best looking helmets. Both companies have invested heavily in racing sports and have long histories of success and proven track records. Too many helmets are bought and sold that do not fit properly. People should learn how a helmet should feel when it properly fits.

Love my E1, my visor has been fine, probably been used a lot less than yours, very tight fit at first though. For road use it’s fine...

I have a Schuberth C3 basic helmet and I totally agree with what you say about ventilation and visors.

Arai vs. Shoei, I would like to know what kind of head shape is best for each of these helmets? Tanks.

The cloth chin guard on Hornet X2 just snaps off if you want more ventilation for off road.

What do you think about the Nolan N70-2X ?

hi buddy from south Africa. I recently watched your video to Patagonia and noticed you were wearing the BMW gs trophy helmet. please comment on that helmet compared to all these helmets. what would you recommend a year later as the best adventure helmet out there. I value your opinion as you do a lot of riding. thank you in advance.

My C3 visor never gave me problems for the five years I owned it! My pro has had no issues whatsoever.

Klim Krio Pro is amazing,I just bought one.I got the bronze/black one it's beautiful.

Klim released recently the Krios Pro, which has a front ventilation that you can close and open now, and a different material for safety. Never tried one and don't know if it is yet available in Europe. Hope to see Klim, like last year, as the Swiss Moto in 2 weeks

I really wanted to like the Arai, but I have the same problem you do. Something about my head shape creates a painful pressure point where the chin strap stitching presses against my jaw on the left side. Couldn't stand it for more than a couple minutes. I haven't been able to get my hands on the Shoei yet to try that.

I enjoy your video guys but you missed the safety features of each helmet. Also you should probably add to the adventure line up the Bell MX-9 with MIPS technology. If you guys are not familiar with that it’s the way of the future. All the helmets you mentioned are from well know companies but they either lack emergency pull tabs or don’t have the energy management system for impacts. Just some food for thought...

So I have the touratech helmet version of the Schubert, but I have the same trouble with the visor. Is there a fix? Thanks

Shoei Hornet X2 is a very comfortable and quiet adventure helmet and I think it is the Best among the ones compared here.

Why not the Touratech Adventure Carbone 2? It's the carbone version of the Next...

Shoei all the way!

Thanks. What goggles can you wear with this? Or so you need goggles if on dirt roads?

I also saw the video about patagonia. If you would have to choose: arai xd4 or the bmw gs Carbon?

I went to buy the arai and bought the shoei, very comfortable and quiet

How about AGV AX8/AX9? Why not at this comparative?

Definitely a stressful topic. I am a long time C3/C4 rider with probably 100,000 miles on them around the world. I love the modular feature to cool off and quick stop and fill gas without taking off helmet.... But I guess on my next long 6 month trip to Africa -- time to review again. I'm so stressed about the idea of changing. I love the drop down sun visor, and integrated speakers. I am seriously looking at Klim which I have heard mixed reviews, Arai which is an ICON but has zero features and the Shoei, another ICON and has Transitions visor. I would love the E1 updated so I could stick with Schuberth... I have the exact same visor issues with my C3's and C4's but its fine, I just replace and they are so comfortable. Are you still happy with Arai helmet with zero features, now that you have had it for a while? Do you miss the modular or integrated sun visor?

Why is the guy to the right assuming things about the helmets? :P its a review

Why you didn't consider the Nexx Xwed 2 ??

The wind guard on that shark is genius!! Would be perfect for me in norway!

once in a lifetime u must have an arai

If it's possible to make a review of the budget flips Helmets: Scorpion exo-at950 vs Caberg tourmax vs LS2 ff324 metro evo can be nice

Arai all the way... My daily wear for the last 2 years.

The Best helmet

When you filming a review try to have a camera man that will make sure that the camera is properly showing the items being reviewed. I'm not interested in the hosts faces but with the items.

👍👍👍

They’ve failed to mention with the fact that the most ventilated helmet is also tends to be the noisiest one. I’ve own an Arai TX/XD4, I love its big and wide visor, it has a more round shaped SNELL certified shell (better impact protection) and because of that it is heavy. However, it is a noisy helmet (but acceptable) if compare with Schubert E1 and Shoei Hornet. The Krios would be perfect if the front vent is close-able for dust and rain, and I suspect it probably is more noisier than Arai XD/TX-4 due to its vent size.

Do you have to change cheek pads a lot as you have a beard? HJC interiors don't like beards and wear out quickly.

Best is Vemar Kona because for 100 quid you can’t find better specs

I have a flat head lol I'm guessing the Arai would be a better choice over the Shoei?

The E1 deforms the top of my shaved head, other than that, it is a fine helmet.

You forget about Icon Variant helmet!!!

Common guys are you serious where is the Nexx helmet from 2019 adventure helmet Nexx xwed 2

Never trust the weight sticker on the helmet. Please use your own scales to determine the weight. For me, it's the same as with bikes: weight matters.

The Hornet gets hot . Poor venting.

Sorry but the winner is ?

Mai vb si-n romaneste ca nu reusesc sa inteleg intotdeauna, fiindca eu nu stiu engleza la fel de bine ca voi. Pt Cristian Predoi.

Sa presupunem ca banii nu conteaza ci calitatea unei casti si ergonomia . Voi ce a-ti alege ? Ma intereseaza ambele pareri. 0799040320 .

I had the E1, it is junk, poorly made and the visor and peak break very easily. The flip-front locking mechanism doesn’t always lock down on both sides properly. I sold it and went back to a Shoei, night and day difference in quality.

Ma tot tin sa zic... A fost o filmare grea, a...? Luate de pe raft, cu eticheta pe ele...

This main guy is a ding dong

Scorpion ADX1 (EXO AT950). Cheap, great field of view, flip-up. Love it so far.

"I asked someone and he said it was a great fit" What kind of a review is that??? 👎🏼

Can you use the Arai X4 with goggles?

I play Pokémon go E V E R Y DAY....

Borat in the motorcycle

God, Shoei here, shoei there. It's the most overrated overpriced helmet out there. How many stars it got from UK's sharp test?

RIP

Problem with pinlock on the arai

Best is nexx x-wed2

The new Klim is the best Adv carbon helmet ...

Uhhhh uhhhh uhhhhh uhhhh uhhhhhhh
