Wait! Schwantz’s helmet is being sold…
It’s not on Arai’s website… <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hmm? That means there are only a few retailers.
I got a little worked up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Original colors exclusive to certain retailers have always been common.
But since I don’t check daily,
I’m often surprised, thinking “What’s that? Did you paint it?” <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Helmets with a nice paint job easily run over 50,000 yen, often into the six figures.
Thinking about it the other way, if you were planning to paint it anyway, getting a new one at this price point is actually a fantastic deal. <\/a>
Plus you can just click and buy it on Amazon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for helmets, I used to favor open-face ones a lot back in the day (jet shield\u2014is that even a term anymore?).
But as the years go by, I find myself leaning more toward safety than comfort.

The thought of falling face-first and the shield lifting up… it gives me chills.
If you’re a fan of the RX-7X SCHWANTZ and love Arai, this is really something you should go for! Don’t you think? <\/a>
My head size is XS (54 cm), so within my size range, this is the second-highest price. It’s a tough call… really tough. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
