Arai Rain Jacket / Ladies

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

...In the last 10 years I’ve changed 4 motorbikes and many many helmets: this year I’ve decided to buy an Arai NR-3 after having the opportunity to try a Quantum F for a few months. I toght it was time to buy an helmet not for the look, but for having the best safety! First I would like to say that Arai helmets have different prices but the same quality and protection power. You can buy other good helmets, expecially FM and Shoei, but most of the bikers know that Arai is the best for one main thing: the shell! The Arai one piece superfibre laminate constructed shell, combines styling with protection. The helmet is constructed in such way that the energy of a severe impact is absorbed through partial destruction of the shell and the inner shell. In general two kinds of materials are used for the outer shell of helmets: one... Read review

Advantages: Lightweight but seriously well made! Excellent ventilation reduces misting. Little wind noise. Great designs.
Disadvantages: I found chinstrap fastening a bit tricky with cold fingers!

...fiddly to get right, but you do not mist up, and it deflects rain once you get to 40+, just dip your head and go! Giving a wide range of undistorted vision, the visor is excellent and cheap to replace if you need to. I find it even easy to put my specs on by simply raising the visor, which is a bonus for those of us who rely on specs. The chinstrap is the standard type, which I personally find a bit of a fiddle, but that is nothing to the joy of wearing something so comfortable that I have happily gone shopping with it on my head and forgotten until entering a bank!! Go for it, excellent value, brilliant style and it does the job.... Read review

Advantages: Protection, designs/style, vents, visor changing ease, removeable insides
Disadvantages: Noise and Price (depending on budget for safety)!

...I was bought a Yellow designed Arai Condor a couple of years ago (couldn't find yellow to review so chose blue/same helmet, different colour) for a Birthday pressy which cost approx £350 (Don't know how much exactly due to it being a pressy). I thought straight away that the design (not just the colour for me) was smart, striking and up to date. Arai is one of the top manufacturers of helmets in my mind and a brand name too in the motorcycling world! They are used by top racers in everything from British Supersport to Moto GP and have been around for years. The vents are minimal and easy to use with gloved hands, especially the chin vent. The Arai helmets also have vented visors which are rare and are easily opened/closed to allow extra air flow through the top of the helmet. The air flow helps keep the head cool in warm weather, I...
