Arai Quantum II Helmets
I have had my OLD Arai helmet for a very long time and am replacing it with this new one, because I have been very happy with the brand and it's durability.

Best helmet for round-oval head
I tried on almost every major brand of helmets ranging from $150-$500, and Arai showed itself to be in a league of its own. Engineering is fantastic, so every detail has been considered and optimized. I thought my old helmet was good until I rode with the Quantum 2 and found what a good helmet feels like. Great venting and awesome aerodynamics. My noggin was worth a good helmet!

I'm in Love!
I bought the QII to replace a Schuberth S1--an equally high end helmet--so that is my basis of comparison. The Arai is lighter, the internal padding is far superior and thus the fit is better, and the seven vents are orders of magnitude better. Between the weight, the ventilation, and the extremely clear face shield, were it not for the pressure on my cheeks from the pads, I'd feel like I'm not wearing a helmet at all. I initially preferred the ratchet clasp of the Schuberth rather than the D rings of the Arai, but it didn't matter after the first few times. The only downside is the lack of an internal sun visor like the Schuberth. I bought a smoked visor when I got the Arai, but nothing is easier than flicking the sun visor in the Schuberth up and down as lighting changes. If Arai added one, the QII would be perfect.

Expensive but worth it
Excellent helmet - better than the Shoei RF1000 that I have, visor vent feature (locking catch) is really nice

Quantum II Helmet Review
Read all the reviews online and do your research, then go to a dealer and try one on to get the best fit and buy the helmet. I compared three different brands and was skeptical about the Arai given the price, but I'm a believer now. You won't find a better fit or better built helmet, period.
