These 4 or 5-star reviews represent the opinions of the individuals who posted them and do not reflect the views of Etsy. Any holes cut in the outer (and inner) shell will reduce the structural integrity, so the shell must be strong enough to at least pass ECE 22. But look inside the helmet’s shell, behind the liner, to see how effective those vents are likely to be; some cheaper lids might look like they have lots of vents, but they sometimes don’t actually do anything.It’s not a simple matter of saying one is always better than the other; it depends how well made they are. I’ve boosted the saturation of this image to more clearly show the three different densities moulded into the Arai inner-shell; white where it’s softest, then green, then blue at the firmest. and most good manufacturers will go beyond that); you might find only a couple of small ports inside at best. Of course, wearing a dark visor is illegal, but you’d be hard pressed to find a police officer who’d worry about it. Exhaust ports can help draw the air away, and you need to be able to use the vents easily with gloves on.
I use the Shoei less than I used to, but still take it out for longer journeys as the MT is too noisy; the Multitec lids done a hell of a lot of miles. It could be more – the brand’s ‘AR matting’ is designed to take up some of the space of the heavier (and weaker compared to the fibres) resin used in construction, while adding a trellis-like structure to the complex laminate fibre. Can I suggest you read another post I wrote on the 5 Best Arai Motorcycle Helmets For Touring, Design And Upright Riding. Some helmets have vents that break free easily, leaving a round shell that’s been designed to glide over tarmac (like Arai for instance). A good quality lid will have effective vents that cool your head; important to keep your concentration up.Many Arais also have a ‘peripheral belt’, which adds strength above the visor aperture, allowing for a slimmer inner liner at this point – important when you need to be able to peer through the top of the visor when hunched over a sports bike. We’ve got full-face helmets in a variety of finishes and colours from manufacturers like Duchinni and Myx.
You won’t find racers using helmets with drop-down shields, but that’s also because the design makes the brow thicker, which makes it harder to see in a racing tuck.

You might find channels cut into the inner liner, which can help improve airflow, but as explained earlier, they can also be used to alter the effective density of the polystyrene during impact testing. One such company makes the leopard range and whilst they don’t claim to be up there with the likes of Shoei or Bell Helmets what they do do is provide a comfortable lid.
Because a resin shell can be so much stronger, the inner shall can be softer, making for a more comfortable helmet, and potentially further reducing the forces transmitted to the head, above and beyond the ECE 22. Arai makes its outer shells to be extremely strong, the idea being that an impact force is spread over a larger area, before being dissipated by a soft inner liner.
It’s a common comment that some lids – particularly Arais – are ‘heavy’ when compared to lightweight carbon-fibre or plastic designs.

Lots of vents and spoilers also aren’t necessarily a good thing – if they catch on the road in a crash they can jerk the head, causing damage to the brain. There really is a difference in noise, comfort, padding and ventilation between the two; you get what you pay for.
