Interesting facts about Arai crash helmets

Arai is pretty universally recognised as one of the best helmet manufacturers. Best in terms of producing crash helmets of the highest quality and inspiring a high degree of customer loyalty from their users. So I did a bit of digging to find out some more about their helmets and uncovered a few fascinating facts:

1. Each Arai helmet is hand built and is signed by one of the workers on the inside of the shell (unless you’re willing to rip your helmet apart, I guess we’ll have to take their word for it on that one!).

2. Over half the drivers on the Formula One grid wear Arai crash helmets (even though most don’t carry their logo because of sponsorship).

3. And while many MotoGP riders use Arai helmets too, they only use stock helmets because Arai don’t make any custom built helmets. If it’s on the track, it’s a standard helmet  you can buy off the shelf! Pretty impressive pedigree.

4. Arai was the first to give a 5 year warranty with their helmets.

5. Because we all have different shaped heads, Arai make different helmets for Europe, US & Japanese-shaped heads.

6. And lastly, Arai have been voted No.1 Crash Helmet in the JD Power surveys for the last 13 years (voted by customers) which is a pretty good recommendation in anyone’s book

Arais (like Shoei) aren’t designed to be the cheapest on the market. They’re a premium brand designed to last and provide excellent performance (comfort, safety and practicality). And given the level of customer recommendations, I think it’s safe to say they’re doing a pretty good job.
