I recommend everyone go out get one of these!!

Best helmet I've ever had in my life! Feels like a cushion on your head!

Which Shoei did you get?

I have a VFX-DT, and am very happy with it. Of course, I have been happy with every Shoei I have had. They are great helmets.

I'm not very happy with my Shoei. The mouth vent has broken, I've broken two sets of rear vents, one set of front vents has disintegrated, the visor screws have broken. I wish an Arai fit my funny shaped head. They seem to be better quality. With that said, Shoei did replace the parts for free.

ordered mine three weeks ago from motosport. anxiously waiting for it to show up. the FCR3 white black

I like this one!

What model is that?

That is the new VFX-W

That's it! I love mine!

Once you try one on. You'll have to have it. Trust me.

How do you have yours already Osaka? Motosport told me not untill after the first of the year, and a few for sale on Ebay but won't ship until January 9th. I need a new helmet bad but it looks like I'm stuck until after the holidays...?

Enumclaw S.K.Y. has two more in stock. I think they're both large. Both are the same color as above, as is mine as well.

Parts manager told me every other color is 6 months back ordered .

I didn't buy it for it's color though, I bought it because they told me to try it on when I was in there, and once I did I knew there was no going back to the old helmet haha. This helmet gives me confidence. Sounds weird doesn't it?

everyone needs to pump the breaks and go to your local shop and look at how cheap some of the arais are right now. RMC had a few at 50% off for the last few weeks. They just sold one for 316 after tax last week. it was a red narita med. lots of colors and shops already have them.

i bought a arai last year and it is fantastic, fits awesome, comfortable. i havent tried a shoei yet but heard they are nice as well

I got my red Shoei VFX-W for 325 after taxes at rmc on thursday!

Shoei and Arai are the only helmets my family wears. A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

I've had good luck with TLD helmets. I'm on my second. My first saw some abuse and I only broke a visor. It seems the Arai & TLD's fit my noggin the best and I think thats the most important part... Arai, Shoei, TLD, Bell, Upper end helmets, are going to be good.

Do others recall the little controversy with the string of concussion (B Hepler and others) were haveing a few years back. It had something to do with why MX helmets are made to road standards...? Something like they are too hard causing more concussions, especially for little kids who aren't going fast yet. Not sure where that ever went if anywhere...

Both my kids wear a Shoei but they just don't fit my head right. Now that I think about it ..... my wife has some explaining to do! LOL

I bought a Shark helmet but haven't had a chance to wear it yet.

well hepler was wearing HJC's because they paid him the best but I seem to remember a pic of hepler wearing an arai with an hjc sticker on it then last week after talking to bruce porter the arai motocross manager, I learned that Arai has signed millsaps back for another year and he said he would give helmets to hepler also again because he wants him to wear good helmets again. wey had a bad one also and that was in a bell moto 8. shoeis are good but nothing beats an arai. they are handmade to this day. the quality is unbelievable.

Ditto on that Greg. We have 4 Arai's and I wont buy anything else. Not knocking Shoe they would be my next pick. I paid $350.00 for the black and blue one Charlie has.

I was set to get an Arai until I tried it on. It just didn't fit my head.
