Arai Signet Q helmet

[ponters]

I HATE THIS HELMET!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very cool looking helmet, and light weight. However after 20 minutes at freeway speeds my forehead hurts from the pressure of the helmet.
I went to revzilla and they describe this helmet as a race helmet meant for full or 3/4 tuck position. Which may explain why in an upright position I feel the pressure on my forehead.

My fault for not doing my homework 1st.

I'll put it up for sale on EBay and try to recoup some money.
In the meantime the search continues..............

Mate it could be you have a prominent arcus superciliaris (commonly known as supraorbital arch). A potential solution can be to squash down the foam or dremil it away. Not recommended nor advised but possible and if it is just a bit may assist in making it comfortable.

I know that my cage helmets always needed - CUSTOMISATION in order to avoid this same issue. A few weeks of 'sweating it in' (like 'wearing it in') often helped.

I hope this helps. If not, fit your helmet and run around naked in the snow. Chances are you wont feel the sore bits on your head!

Funny you should mention the Dremel, I was thinking the same thing.

And it is also one of the lightest being a proper carbon helmet

I have the modular Shark Evo (not carbon, but a reasonable weight) It is pretty good, but I still need ear plugs..

I like built in tinted visor and the fact I can raise the chin bar in town and go full face on the highway.
