Their dualsport helmets get rave reviews....and a few yrs ago one of their sub $100 helmets won an all out helmet safety test against helmets costing almost 10x as much, in Motorcyclist Magazine.....the test caused so much stir that Arai pulled their ads out of the magazine for a while because it's best helmets were beaten by a bargain brand. Plastic shell helmets (resin alloy, thermo-polycarbonates, etc) have come a long way in the past 10 yrs.
