Although a worldwide company with over 50 years of helmet
manufacturing experience, Arai (pronounced "ah-rye")
is still a family-owned business, with a family's pride,
and a dedication to quality that simply won't allow them
to put their name on anything that isn't the best they can
do. The Arai family insists that EVERY Arai helmet be inspected,
by hand, at least three times during it construction. In
the words of Michio Arai, "How can you say that one
person's head is worth more than another's." Arai helmets
are virtually hand-made, one at a time, to deliver enviable
quality, comfort, fit and balance. And, as to meeting
the current DOT and SNELL standards, Arai's own internal standards
are so high that the helmets are subjected to twice the
number of drops required by Snell for a helmet to absorb
and withstand potentially harmful G-force impact loads passing
through the helmet and into the head. Arai believes it is
not enough to simply meet the Snell standards, but to exceed
them.
