Been using Arai helmets for a few years now (Quantum F, S2, Viper) but for some reaon the Tour X3 isn't as comfy. Tried the new AGV which felt cheap and nasty. Finally got a Shoei DS Hornet in white for £250. Shame erally as at the bike show I could have got a Tour 3 for less money.
Not had chance to test the Shoei yet (wifey says I can't have it yet as its my Xmas prezzie) but I will let you all know what I think once I get the cahnce to wear it for a while.
As an aside JT were selling the Arai chaser for £100 at the show. Seem comy but not I nthe market for a lid like it til later next year.
