    I wear the Arai XD3 and it’s a great lid as is the Shoei Hornet , I was always told with road helmets you either have an Arai head or a Shoei head , so give them both a try. They are both top end with great comfort for all day riding.
    I wore my Arai for 13 hours one day , as did TB with Shoei , and it felt good right to the end.

    The Rjays is a terrible lid , noisy , leaks , rattles. I’ve got one and never wear it.

    Good luck and let us know what you get :)

    Just got off the phone with Boulder and they have arrived in Birdsville after nearly 2 big days in the Simpson Desert. He sounded knackered and was keen for a rest and some beers. They repaired his gasket issue by making a new cork one and made a spare just in case this happened to Fish

    They just got to the edge of the Simpson when Fishes gasket failed too, lucky they made that spare.
