Arai Xd3 Adventure Helmet

This item is available for shipping in the US ONLY Arai's Advanced, Critically-Acclaimed, Genre-Busting XD Crossover-Design Street-And-Dirt Helmet Is Improved and Updated in the XD3 - as if Such a Thing Were Possible. XD Means \"Crossover Design\" Because It Crosses Over Into So Many Riding Styles. You Can Quickly and Easily Change It for Adventure Touring, Dual-Sport, Supermoto Competition, Commuting, Street Riding, Whatever.

Visually, It Looks Like a Dirt Helmet, With Its Peak, Uniquely-Styled Chin Bar and the Opening for Goggles. but the XD3 Also Has a Full Faceshield Like a Street Helmet, a Faceshield That Easily Slides Up Under the Peak. And You Can Remove the Shield And/or the Peak in No Time, Then Easily Re-Install Either or Both Whenever You Like.

Ventilation: the XD3's Ventilation Combines the Best of Both Worlds, With a Total of 5 Intake and 7 Exhaust Vents - Because Dirt Riding Is Much Tougher Than Street. It Also Uses the Front Vents From Our Profile Model, Again Designed for Increased Air Intake, While Retaining the Original XD's Mouth-Vent System That Can Either Provide Fresh Air Around the Mouth Area, or Direct the Air Upward Along the Interior Surface of the Faceshield to Prevent Fogging. Additionally, Exhaust Vents on the Lower Left and Right Sides and in the Lower Neckroll Draw Out More Hot Air From Inside the Helmet.

Re-Designed Peak: One of the Keys to the Original XD's Uniqueness Was Arai's Twin-Cam Shield Pivot System That Enables the Shield to Operate Fully Beneath the Mounted Peak Without Protruding. the Shield Stays Low When It's Raised, Allowing the Peak to Be Mounted Lower, Resulting in Better Aerodynamics and a Better Appearance. the XD3's Peak Has Been Re-Designed for Even Better Stability and Airflow - and Tested to Perform Up to Street-Legal Speeds. the Shield System Is Also Designed for the Shield to Be Used in Combination With the Peak, Alone Without the Peak, or With the Peak and No Shield, as Desired.

XD3 Chin Spoiler: the XD3 Features Arai's Unique Pull-Down Chin Spoiler Helping to Further Minimize Wind Noise, While Also Drawing Breath Out by Enhancing the Flow of Air From the Mouth Area.

Dry-Cool Lining: the Dry-Cool Liner Actually Utilizes Micro Water Cells to Improve Moisture and Heat Transfer From Your Head Into the Airflow Around Arai's Exclusive Space Frame Liner. Leaves Your Head Drier and Cooler (Hence the Name) at the End of a Long or Hot Ride. Dry-Cool Also Allows the Liner to Dry Much Faster Between Rides.

One-Piece Liner: Arai's EPS Liner Is Like No Other, Comprised of Several Material Densities Molded Into a Single Piece. Arai Pioneered This Technology More Than 20 Years Ago and Is Still, to Our Knowledge, the Only Helmet Offering a Single-Piece Hybrid Liner and Its Unique Benefit: The Direct-Fused Contact Area That Each EPS Cell Shared With Its Neighboring Cells Creates a Mutual Support - as One Is Crushed Under Impact, the Surrounding Cells Assist With the Energy Absorption. (Liner Pieces That Are Imply Fitted or Glued Together Cannot Rely on Such a High-Level Support Bond.)

Emergency Cheek-Pad Release System: Yet Another Arai Innovation, First Introduced on the VX-Pro3 Dirt Helmet. From Arai's Decades-Long Commitment to Rider Safety Comes the First Emergency Cheek-Pad Release Design Created Specifically for Motorcycle Helmets. Developed to Allow Easier Access to an Injured Rider, the XD3's Cheek-Pads Slide Out Easily via the Integrated Pull-Tabs Built Into the Underside of the Cheek-Pad - Which Makes the Helmet Removal Much Easier for Trained Medical Technicians.

Shell Construction: These Days, There Are Almost as Many \"Revolutionary\" Shell-Construction Materials as There Are New Helmet Brands. Arai's Decades of Experience, Research, Testing, Comparison and Evaluation Has Led Us to Conclude That Fiberglass-Based Construction Is Best at Performing a Motorcycle-Helmet Shell's Main Job - Spreading Impact Energy Over the Widest Area Through Strength, Structural Integrity and Impact-Flexibility. the XD3's cLc (Complex Laminate Construction) Shell Utilizes Arai's Proprietary Aerospace Fiberglass Technology to Achieve a Strong, Flexible Shell in a Very Lightweight Package.

Meets or Exceeds Snell and D.O.T. Standards

Please Note: the Visor/peak Supplied With the XD3 Helmet Is Not Suitable for High-Speed Use. at Such Speeds Air Catching a Side or Main Surface of the Peak May Cause Difficulty in Returning the Head to a Forward And/or Level Position. to Understand and Prepare for This Possible Effect, You Should First Try to Experience It at Low Speeds, Gradually Increasing Speed So That You Will Know What to Expect and Determine When the Peak Should Be Removed for Higher-Speed Riding.
