Arai chaser helmet issue!!

Purchased this helmet around a couple of months ago, with one thing and another only been out a few times and each time after about an hour my head is in agony, I have a bright red strip right at the top of my forehead once removed?? Seems like too small or rubbing? They checked it in the shop and says it's right size when I bought it!! Any ideas????

 

Have you got it on " back to front"

 

How many times have you worn it? My Viper GT took about 5-6 hours to break-in. It fitted perfectly in the shop but did give me a bit of grief on the RHS of my forehead until bedded in.

 

Around 3-4 hrs at the mo, surely this is more than breaking in ??

 

Should be OK. Who did you buy it from? Most places won't exchange lids

 

I'm aware of that, got it from the sportsbike shop in Boston

 

Could be lucky as they are normally pretty good about returns.

 

I had the same problem with my Chaser V (previously had Viper and Quantum and they were perfect fit). I took it to the Arai Technicians at the TT last year and they used a small roller to compress the inner helmet where it was rubbing. It is a lot better now.

 

May be the right size but not everybody has an Arai shape head. I have a v comfy AGV but the new one kills me or is too loose

 

I'd give it 2 months, mine fit like a tight gove then 2 months later was comfortable rather than tight, otherwise you may have a size too small or even a Martian shaped head

 

I had an arai rx7 corsair before in the same size and there was no issues with that one

 

Take it to a shop with an Arai trained person. If its just reshaping and padding removal, they will do a custom fit.
