Arai Signet-X Helmet Arai has a reputation for handcrafting the best helmets in the world, the Signet-X is definitely on par with that legacy. Arai uses their Peripherally Belted - Super Complex Laminate Construction shell design (PB-ScLc) to deliver both performance and affordability. VAS Max Vision faceshield comes standard to provide better visibility in all seasons and for all types of riding. The VAS shield is smaller and lower than the previous design with adjustable air intake vents that provide improved sealing, which decreases road noise and water intrusion. Note: The Signet-X is a long oval head shape, which means it runs narrow with less room on the sides and more room at the front/back of the head. Be sure to verify your head shape when choosing the proper size. This helmet may not be a good fit for riders with a round oval head shape. PB Sclc Shell: Peripherally Belted - Super Complex Laminate Construction shell Design combines multiple materials and techniques created internally by Arai that deliver both performance and affordability Shell has superb tensile strength due to a variety of carefully-positioned materials and light weight resin VAS Shield System: VAS (Variable Axis System) shield and side pods are exclusive to the Arai Corsair X Helmet Variable axis (moving pivot point) allows shield mount position to be lower than most helmets Dual function lever releases both the side pod and the face shield for quick and simple face shield removal VAS Shield Latch System: Captures and holds the face shield closed securely Provides a de-mist position to slightly crack the shield open Larger latch design allows for intuitive and seamless operation VAS V MV Shield: VAS MAX Vision face shield Provides excellent visibility in all seasons Includes clear anti-fog Pinlock insert Ventilation: QVF and QVR upper ventilation ducts offer adjustment and airflow performance Vents are easy to operate with gloved hands Interior: 5mm peel-away cheek pads Speaker pockets Safety: Snell M2025 certified and DOT approved Cheek Pads have Emergency Release Tabs
