Arai Helmet Arai Classic-V Gun Metal Frost Open Face Helmet (Snell 2015)

Arai has done it again, creating an old-school lid with the modern technology and fine finish for which Arai is known. Not content to use an inferior shell, the Classic-V has a PBcLc constructed shell, the same as found in the Arai X model helmets. Technology does not stop at the shell. Arai realized that many open-faced helmets drop the ball on ventilation, leaving the rider with a hot and sweaty head. The Classic V has hidden interior vents, with 3 air intakes built into the forehead liner that draw cooling air up and over the head to 3 lower rear exhausts. Add on a 5 snap face shield or a 3 snap visor to complete your look (face shield and visor sold separately). The Arai Classic V Helmet, where the V stands for ventilation.

• Fresh air enters the 3 forehead channels flowing over the head, pulling away heat

• Hot air then escapes through the hidden multistage channel and out the patented Venturi exhaust

• Air flowing from the intake channels into the crown escapes through 3 holes in the EPS liner, pulling heat with it, into the hidden multi-staged air channel

• Borrowing from our racing heritage, Arai incorporated 3 intake channels in the forehead area, allowing fresh air to enter the helmet and flow more easily to the crown

• Once air enters the hidden multi-stage air channel in the EPS liner, it is then pulled out by the low pressure created by the patented Venturi exhaust manifold

• When it comes to head protection, just as much effort goes into the new Classic-V shell as we put into every other helmet shell we make

• Proprietary PBcLc (Peripherally Belted, complex Laminate construction) shell

• A fundamental Arai feature has always been the One-Piece, Multi-Density Liner.

• Molding all of the EPS densities into a one-piece EPS liner allows the various densities to work together during an impact

• This allows Arai to make a thinner and softer EPS liner for a smaller overall helmet

• Fully removable interior liner system is made from Arai’s Proprietary Material, which helps maintain neutral acidity levels close to human skin and antibacterial consumption, as well as a softer liner material and adjustable temple padding to allow for a customized fit

• Enhancing the “old school” look of the new Classic-V is the wide, stitched faux leather trim set in a recess channel in the shell for a clean finished look

• Completing the “old school” look is the faux stitched leather goggle strap holder, that helps keep your goggle straps from sliding up the helmet while riding

• The Classic-V has Arai’s intermediate oval interior fit shape

• The Classic-V: Look cool, stay cool
