Shoei Glamster vs. Arai Concept-X | ROAD TEST | FortaMoto.com

Don’t really like the style of either ... which is the main point of getting a ‘retro helmet’ ... 🤷🏻‍♂️

Good review there. Not really a comparison but
How does this Arai Concept X compete against Shoei GT Air 2, wind noise and comfort especially.

What do You consider the best helmet for a naked bike in general?

Which was quieter for you?
I find the Arai Profile X too noisy with those shield mechanism covers on the side of the helmet.
The Shoei design looks like its quieter, because the shield wraps around the helmet, rather than the other way around with the Arai Profile V where there is an open gap from the front where wind can enter at the shield mechanism cover.

Do you know if the window viewing area is the same size between the Arai Defiant X helmet and the Arai Concept X? My Defiant X is my winter/cold riding helmet. When it's warm, I use an Arai Classic-V (3/4 helmet). For safety, I'm thinking of getting a full face helmet and taking off the face shield for warm riding use. I like the wide widow area of the Shoei, but love my Arai helmets.

As I expected, the Arai looks better and there are more color options, but only the Shoei will fit my head as I always use Shoei helmets thanks to my oval head. We are the few "lucky" ones with the "Shoei head"...

I like these retro helmets, but usually it noisy

I've just picked up a new Concept-X, and I am super happy with it with only a couple of things to note: 1: The visor latch IS fiddly, to start with. I've gotten used to it quickly though, and no problems with my summer gives operating it. I think I might have more of a problem with my winter gloves. Ventilation is excellent, on the move. And is much more quiet than my old Bell, so I'l love to try a really quiet lid some time. 2: However the padding, while an excellent fit once it's on, with the cheek pads going down below my jaw line, and the thick neck pads really keep the helmet in place in the wind, it feels like I'm tearing my face off getting it off. The shell is quite rigid, so doesn't flex much while Im pulling the cheek pads apart. I do NOT want to be taking this on and off for quick trips. I hope it softens a little with use.

Shoei is better looking, doesn’t make so much bubble head effect.

> If you're gonna be traveling around the world through nations/continents, and you're looking for a new lid, then these probably aren't for you.

that's precisely what I'm looking at them for.

Nice advice

Hi, what helmet smaller? I am looking for project

Why if traveling around continents are not so good ? That means the same for everyday and it s supposed , both of them are top brands and nowadays models...

The glamster should have been called “era”

Arai!!!!

2.07 ? Seriously ???

It’s a travesty these helmets are not offered in the US. Only crappy, less safe helmets are offered here for retro fans. Thankfully most places will ship these to us though.
