Arai XD4 Helmet (Black, Large)

The Arai XD4 is the best fitting helmet I have ever worn, and it has saved my life. After 10 years and 2 bad crashes with the last one, I have ordered another. The quality is top notch.

This is my second Arai helmet, purchased to match my new GSA!! Comfortable, stylish and the best helmet i have ever purchased!!

The helmet is an Arai. Its expensive and worth every penny. Just make sure you correctly measure yourself or go to a motorcycle shop and have them do it for you. I know Arai quality and was still surprised by this helmet. Definitely recommend if this you are considering the enduro style of helmet.

Best helmet ever.

Love this helmet, really glad I went for it. Great room for my big elven ears!! Arai is one of the best in the business. It's your brain box protect it with the best!

Noise in the vents was too much for me to keep this. Nice but not even close to the value.

I bought this same model helmet from another vendor, which is why it will not show up as a verified purchase at Amazon. I bought this helmet a year ago and have put a lot of on and off-road miles on it now. My review is in comparison to an old (non ADV Shoei that I no longer own), a new Icon Airmada, and a Bilt 3/4 helmet. These other helmets are not ADV helmets, so it may not be a fair comparison, but it give a point of reference for my comments, none the less. What I like: 1. I like the visor... I need it when riding ADV. I ride a GSA with a wind shield so it doesn't really start to catch wind until 50-60 MPH. at freeway speeds of 80mph, its still ok but does catch side gusts so is not a good helmet for long distance freeway riding as you would expect. 2. I feel protected, although that feeling is based on the Arai reputation more than any direct knowledge. 3. The helmet is solid and medium weight 4. the cheek pads are removable and washable What could/should be better: 1. The ventilation ports don't do much of anything. In very hot days, they are slightly noticeable, but otherwise, not. 2. The windshield fogs up at slow speeds. For this cost and brand of helmet, that's unacceptable. My Icon armada does a MUCH better job. and I never had this issue with my Shoei. 3. There is no firm latch for the face shield to keep it down. It does not flop in the wind, but I often find myself pushing/sealing it down as I go to higher speeds. 4. The helmet is larger than advertised- this is a safety problem and a noise problem 5. The Noise is TERRIBLE (at high speeds when there is a lot of tire and wind noise), It mainly comes from underneath the helmet. Compared to my Icon, this is unacceptable for this price of. helmet. I believe the padding around the neck area is loo small to keep the noise down. I verified this by stuffing a cloth around my neck to seal the helmet and I get much less noise... but not a realistic way to ride a ADV bike - or any bike for that matter 6. Adjusting the visor is only possible with the helmet off and it's not very adjustable at all. I keep it as high as possible, and don't have issues with it when riding, Conclusions: I still use this helmet the most- I feel protected with it and I like a visor when riding off road. ANY road riding I do, I use my Icon Airmada. The helmet is not bad, but I do feel that the price is largely based on the name and Arai is riding their reputation rather than making an outstanding product like they should be doing.

I love this hemet, it's comfortable and the visibility is great. With the visor takes time to get used to on the road, but is nice in Florida.
