Product Description
  • New for this year, the Vector is really a major renovation of the Astral Series introduced a few years ago. Think of a new and improved Astral with a removable liner!
  • Its most striking features, visually, are the unique molded lines running front to back along the lower shell, making the new Vector look different than other Arai helmets. The shell itself has Arai's exclusive CLC (Complex laminate construction) that is both strong yet light in weight, and Arai's latest "Organic Shell Shape", designed to be both more natural looking and to enhance the helmet's abliity to cut through the wind more cleanly, thereby reducing buffeting and making it more "still" in turbulence than previous models. The slim, sleek SAJ faceshield sidepods are the same ones used on the latest RX-7 Corsair model, as is the new breathguard design that better directs fresh air to the inside surface of the shield while at the same time directing hot breath down and away from the inside surface of the shield.
  • The Vector Series of helmets was born of Arai's never-ending search for the best fit for the most riders. The Intermediate Oval shell design provides a fit not found in other Arai models.

Ted Arcadia,  CA Good buy The helmet is very comfortable. Looks good even for a solid color. The cost is a little high, but it’s worth every penny. I expect this will last me for many years

Phil Norfolk,  VA Arai Vector Great fit. Much more snug around cheeks than Shoei. Breathes much better than Shoei. Not as quiet as Shoei. Best helmet I have ever owned.

Randall Elsey Hermitage ,  PA Best Helmet fit ever ! I tried every brand of helmet I could find, None of them fit properly. I always had a pinch point that gave me a headache.This is the best fitting helmet I have ever had. It is extreamly well made with a lot of detail given to the soft liner.I will never own anything but Arai again!

Mike Barrett Kennesaw,  GA Arai Vector Helmet I had trouble with finding a helmet that would fit correctly and comfortably. I tried the Arai at a local shop and found it fit perfectly. It has great features and the finish is good. Your price was about $50 less than the local shop and it was the best I could find on the internet. With free shipping it was a bargain.

Luke Jasek Flatonia,  TX Arai Vector - nothing but the best I had always heard Arai helmets were the ones to get, but never wanted to spend the bucks (I know, spend what you think your head is worth). Now I don't know why I waited. This helmet is light and seems much quieter then my previous helmets (although I still wear earplugs and haven't tried it without them). The fit and finish is excellent and the interior feels like a nice, soft pillow. I ordered the mirrored shield and it is the most optically clear one I've ever used. I did have a problem operating the tiny lock with winter gloves, but it works good with regular ones. Also helps to put some of the included silicone lube on it. Best helmet I've ever had!

David La Mirada,  CA Beautiful helmet, beautiful fit. Fits like a dream, vents VERY well with adjustable tabs on top of helmet. Chin strap is comfy, does not choke you. Great buy for the best quality helmets in the world.
