AGV GP Tech vs. Arai Cosair V

Your head's worth it.

I went with an Arai because I wear glasses and it helps to be able to slide them into that nice groove. Also it fit perfectly. I'd imagine most DOT/SNELL approved helmets will protect your brain. After that what fits best and meets any other needs you have would be the priority, IMO.

... Also what looks cool.

Get the one that fits the best.

If it the Arai fits well I'd say go with that. I love my RX-Q.

When I saw the thread title, I had already formed my response:

Get a Shark!

However, if the Arai fits you that well, buy it.

I replaced my AGV V-Flyer with a T-2 a year or so ago. THe T-2 is the baby brother to the GP tech - I absolutely love it. BUt as others have said - if the Arai fits comfortably as well - it really is your choice, I don't think you can go wrong with either of those. Have you checked the reviews at webbikeworld?

Got my Shoei RF1100 at a real good price the first month it came out. Much cheaper than anywhere locally or online that I could find.

The Corsair V is a great helmet, but unfortunately one of the heavier on the market. At 3 pounds 14 oz for an XL, you can find much lighter helmets out there. The Corsair V also gets a 4 star SHARP rating.

I recently picked up a Bell RS-1 and it's almost half the price of the Corsair V, it's 7 ounces lighter, and it gets a 5 star SHARP rating. 7 ounces doesn't seem like much, but if you do a lot of track days, like I do, you'll appreciate lighter helmets. Especially if you have neck issues, like I do. An older Web Bike World weight chart: http://www.webbikeworld.com/motorcycle-helmets/motorcycle-helmet-weights.htm

So, more expensive isn't always better. Do some digging. Don't go on looks alone.
