The XD4 is one of those helmets that has always been lurking in the back of my mind as a must have. But, is it the BEST ADV helmet on the market in 2022? my first impressions.
Plush padding and one of the sleekest designs to hit the ADV helmet market in my opinion. The first time I tried it in a medium I was actually disenchanted by the fit. With an oval shape, it seemed to fit my narrow head weird, but my gut said; "this helmet is for you Austin". So I listened and ordered a small. When I opened it I saw the beautiful Arai box. As I got further into it I pulled out the blue Arai bag, it was almost a velvet feel, that housed my XD4. Even the bag shows the attention to detail that Arai puts into their products.
I pulled out the XD4 and on to my head it went. I could not believe it! The feel of the pads and how they hugged my head so perfectly made it less like a helmet and more like my childhood teddybear was latched onto my head. The COMFORT was unbelievable. How could I have gone through so many helmets and not experienced this!
Yes there are several other competitors in this class of helmet, but man I am so happy. Shoei Hornet X2, Klim Krios, and even Bell has made an appearance in this space. For me this one takes the cake.
Yes there's lighter and I would love to try the competition, but man is this an incredible helmet!
Ride safe and see you on the pavement!

Imo, the clear lens is the way to go, i ride in the Rockies, use sunglasses during the day if needed but when heading home after sundown through mountains I don’t want a tinted screen

@AmericanAbroad1 11 ай бұрын

Exactly! Way better than constantly changing out lenses. I always hated to be that guy in a group that needed to stop to change lenses.

It is possible the XD-4 'wears lighter' because the fit, comfort, and functionality minimize subtle physiological stressors experienced with use of other less technologically refined helmets.

Very well said. I may steal this comment for a future video

Are you enjoying Portugal? I also wear a Xd4 (I’ve had for 2 years) and I love it!

@AmericanAbroad1 Жыл бұрын

Man I am loving Portugal! The roads here are epic for motorcycles. I completely agree with you on the XD4. I have never had such a quality helmet. When you put it on it feels quality.

@@AmericanAbroad1 I’m very glad to know your enjoying my country. I’m Portuguese and I live next to one of the most beautiful roads to ride, in Cascais, near Guincho beach, and I’ve been riding for almost 40 years, all through Europe and Marrocos (next April I’ll be leaving to Marrocos with fiends once again - this time two up - ) . I know a lot of epic road to ride in a Portugal etc. We have a very small group of “veteran” riders and often travel around or just meet to ride (intelligently) talk and eat etc. if you need any thing or to meet some Portuguese riders, just let me know by PM.

are you still happy with this helmet? I'm thinking to pick it up on discount as there is a newer model now. The only thing I'm not sure about is the lack of internal sunvisor on it. My old helmet has it and it was really useful (before it was all scratched up and became unusable lol)

@AmericanAbroad1 8 ай бұрын

I think the XD4 is the best helmet I have ever owned. I have had a lot of issues with internal visors plus it adds weight for all the components to make it possible. I can recommend the XD4 more. Make sure you have a good windscreen so the visor doesn’t give you any issues. Only thing I would switch for would be a Nexx’s carbon ADV helmet or I think klim has a carbon version also. But the XD is awesome man. Get it. You won’t regret it.

Greetings, can you tell me please which is your opinion between Xd4. and shoei hornet adv? Thanks

@AmericanAbroad1 Жыл бұрын

I have never tried the shoei. I have a friend who has shoei’s and he won’t ride anything else. Some people love arai and some love shoei. Just get one and you will love it. I prefer the look of the arai better

It must be your BMW windshield because that Arai is so noisy for me. Almost unbearable and with earplugs still annoying. Other than that, I like it but I have since started using the Nexx X.WRL. Much quieter.

@AmericanAbroad1 Жыл бұрын

Oh this is good feedback. Yes it got even better when I moved to the push windscreen. Now it’s so quiet. NEXX also makes great helmets. Portugal made. I really would like to try the Nexx carbon version that mimics the XD4 but also is modular.
