Don't mention those side pods. I only had the hat for a few weeks and I broke one.
I remember buying the hat, I had a Shoei then. Fella in the shop told me that the Arai was the best visor system on the market. Even better than Shoei I asked - yes he said. He popped the visor out and back in nae bother. Wish I'd tried it in the shop.
It was Hein Gericke in Glasgow. Then he tried to sell me the display model - umm no thanks I'll have a new one if that's alright.
When I tried to change the visor, well I couldn't. I had to sit and watch a U-tube video, and then I could just about do it. And of course within a few weeks I'd broke it.
Can't remember the name of the fella in the shop, twas the manager at the time. Got into a bit of an argument about the visor and the broken pod. He told me - 'that was only my experience' - and - 'we've got plenty of other helmets if you'd like to buy another.' Christ I almost lost it with him, I really did. See I can still rant about it five years later.
Never been back in that shop since.
Anyway they are really good hats, but with an utterly crap visor system.
Right OK. Buy original. No discounts then?
Light smoke tint fae me Simon. Think the amber would look silly on my b&w 'banda' anyway.
