Arai MX-80 helmet
Arai's MX-80 MX/off-road
helmet, better known as the
Brad Lackey model, is comfortable and well proportioned.
The shape of the eye opening requires
careful maneuvering of goggles to
get correct fit and feel. The interior is
well padded and washable. There is
even a screw in the top of the Snell 80
approved helmet which, when
removed, allows the helmet to drain
and dry quicker after washing the
interior.
The foam rubber padding in the
crown of the fiberglass construction
helmet may be a bit irritating to those
without a full crop of hair on top. We
suggest inserting a folded bandanna
to cover the foam. The helmet fits
snugly around the cheeks and comes
with a five snap visor which seals on
the top edge to prevent water and/or
mud from draining onto the face.
Of interest is the rubberized mouth
and face guard. It is adjustable up
and down as well as fore and aft to
provide whatever fit is required. The
chinstrap fits snugly. The helmet
weighs 3 lbs., 90zs.
As with helmets which come in a
few graduated SIZes - small, medi urn,
large, extra large - rather than hat
sizes, we recommend trying on at
least two or more. Our helmet, size
large, was noted on the inside information band as being for sizes 7li
through 7l2. It felt too roomy. Dropping down to a medium size, even
though it wasn't supposed to be big
enough for a 7li user, provided a comfortable fi t.
The .helmet is available in white,
blue and yellow, and suggested list
price is $123.95.
