As has already been said, which ever helmet you feel most comfortable
in is the best for you. Plain and simple.
Quality wise,
I've had one Arai which was nicely finished but overly noisy. Also,
while the paint looked good it wasn't particularly durable. I gave it
away after two months of being deafened by wind noise.
The shoei RF range are really good. Top quality finish and they are
nice and quite. I've had two and still have one as a second/spare lid.
ventilation is excellent and the seatbelt type catch on the chin strap
is very easy to use. They are however slightly heavier that the
equivalent Arai.
I now have the Dianese Ergon Race lid. The finish is excellent, the
lining is removable for cleaning and fit adjustment. The mechanism for
removing the visor is the simplest and quickest I've ever seen and
best of all, the red one is a really close match for Triumph Tornado
red. It also seems impervious the 'head wobbles' that I used to get at
speed in the Arai.
