My Arai fits perfectly is light and comfortable to wear for extended periods, also a previous model has passed the ultimate test which for me no amount of laboratory testing will replicate.
After reading the article the I agree that the test is open to abuse by manufacturers.
I expect to see Nitro helmets achive 5 stars very soon.
It would be nice to see random penatration tests altho I think most current decent helmets will perform their job well in this area, I trust mine with my life and feel confident that I will be as well protected as is possible and no amount of awarded stars will change that.
Long live ARAI.
