Product Description
Arai Vector Read Replica Helmet
  • 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. It represents Arai's third distinctive fit package, providing a fit not found in other Arai models. Is it the right one for you? Try each one on - and when you find the Arai that cradles your head in a way you've never felt before, you'll know why Arai go to so much effort to enhance your riding experience.

T Place West Orange,  NJ Awesome Helmet... I've worn both HJC and Fulmer full-face helmets for quite some time now, and never really wanted to take the $500+ plunge for an Arai. I finally did and it was definitely worth it. The Phil Read is amazing.. it's the lightest full-face I've ever owned. So light in fact that when the box arrived I thought there was a mistake because it felt way too light to have a helmet in it. The fit and finish is second to none.. Arai definitely took their time. The paint and clearcoat are awesome. The Vector fit is perfect for my head. I had tried a Profile and thought it felt great until I put on the Vector.. it is the most comfortable helmet I've worn. I've read mixed reviews about the Arai face shield mechanism, but I gotta say I think it works flawlessly. Once you get accustomed to the action it requires it's great with a very positive open and close feel. This purchase has made me a big fan of Arai and now I know why they're at the top of the food chain when it comes to helmet manufacturers.

Steve Lloyd Trinidad,  CA Helmet Vecter Very noisy: the air venting rattles like loose bottle caps when open, which is about all the time since it fogs up at the drop of a hat. I replaced it with an 3d-X Arai helmet at a local store and it's superior all around, plus it has a visor. I put 4000 miles on it through Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Nevada and I'd recommend it.
