3k Arai anyone?

I didn't know you could spend so much on a lid. :shock:

I tried a carbon fibre lid once. If I'd had the money at the time I'd have had it. It was superb to wear, you almost forgot it was on. (That was my excuse when I tried to walk out of the shop :D ).

Sod the looks. :lol:

It’s a good deal. You get a free race visor :mrgreen:

On a quieter note, it’s the first time I’ve seen Arai claim a helmet was “quiet”. If I want an Arai that’s not loud, do I have to spend £3k? :wtf:

Not if you buy 'Steer's patent carbon fibre earplugs'. Yours for the bargain price of £75 per pair (inc P&P). Worth every penny 'cos it says 'Arai' on them. :D
