Decided I need to look into a newer helmet finally and upgrade my ventilation from the good ol shoei tz-1.
Noise is not really a concern as I normally wear wax plugs. My biggest concerns are quality, longevity, weight,and ventilation. I have had my eyes on the tz-r but tried a friends rf1k and liked it. So I also been eying the arai.
The padding seems more pronounced in the arai but the shoei fabric feels more durable. This was just from my pawing them both repeatedly nothing long term as far as real life wear.
