I've been wearing an [url=https://www.araiamericas.com/helmets/vector-2/fluorescent-yellow]Arai Vector-2 since 2012, when I started riding, so it is my first and only helmet. I purchased the helmet because it fit my head and has a [url=http://www.smf.org]Snell rating. It is very comfortable but I believe it would probably be considered noisy. It is also not a good helmet for cold-weather riding...I have to tape up the chin vent inside and out to prevent leakage and wear a face/neck shield stuffed up into the helmet to ward off cold. No chin curtain is offered.

Now, I have grown [url=http://www.mcrider.com/snell-motorcycle-helmet-certification-rated/]skeptical of the Snell rating. It is oriented around unrealistically high-energy impacts and even double impacts at the same location. The Snell test forces a helmet design that may not provide sufficient reduction of G-forces to the brain in most typical motorcycle get-offs, where your head hits the pavement.
I am focusing intently now on the innovative [url=https://www.6dhelmets.com/ats-1/]6D ATS-1, with dual EPS layers separated by elastomeric isolation dampers that extend deceleration time and also reduce rotational accelerations that result in the most traumatic brain injuries.
The ATS-1 is a premium helmet with a lot of features. I like the emergency release cheekpads and the cold-weather-friendly removable chin curtain and neck cuff. Plus, it comes with a Pinlock visor for fighting fogging and condensation. I have this on my Arai and it works.
