How to clean your helmet for better performance!

In order for your helmet to provide the maximum level of performance and service, proper care and attention to it's condition and general upkeep is essential. Clean the exterior and interior of your helmet regularly. Use a soft cloth with mild detergent, using only lukewarm water. Never use gasoline (petrol), thinners, benzene or any other solvents or chemicals because they can adversely effect the shock absorbing inner liner and plastic components.

The comfort liner and cheek pads are fully removable, washable and replacements are available usually. Carefully hand wash and air dry the comfort liner and cheek pads when required. When the comfort liner is damp or wet due to perspiration or rain, always dry the helmet and liner in the shade, gentle air movement through the material will speed the drying process.

Reviews: Masei Helmet Quality - OK

Masei helmets are quite reasonable ranging from US$70 to US$180. Their quality is fair.. quite similar to AFX ones. They mostly import from Taiwanese and Chinese OEM makers. Their Quality Control are still not reaching very top level of famous brands.

Masei graphics are fancy, but the finish is not fairly done. Their gloss clear coat seems thinner. The decals are placed under the clear coat, giving the helmet a more finished look. Again, their gloss clear coats are softer than normal.

Masei helmets look all OK, but the quality of their modular locks and the overall execution are not reaching top-class levels yet. For example, the helmet seems to have a lot of lateral flexibility. When the rotating visor is closed and latched, I can squeeze the helmet and it flexes, both at the shell and around the sides of the chin bar on the rotating visor.

In my opinion. I guess if you're really limited on funds and you really want a good looking modular helmet with fancy graphics, Masei is definitely the best choice. On the market, a normal flip-up costs you at least US$139, but you can get them for US$99 sometimes online.

Why ARAI Helmets are so expensive? US$550 vs US$65

So far, Arai is the best-known helmet on the market, because they have been in business for decades. First comes first serves! I do not believe that at this moment they are the best helmet, since many middle-range helmet brands have improved their quality and also developed more features such as LED, blue-tooth, carbon fiber... However, Arai helmet quality control (QC) is definitely still the best.

Every Arai helmet is virtually 100% handmade. Each craftsman signs the helmet shell along the way. And every helmet is hand inspected at least three times during construction. Not every hundredth helmet, or every tenth one — every single helmet. I went to inspect some Taiwanese helmet makers in mass production (probably 5,000 helmets daily). There are no way they can do eyesight inspection on every helmet.

The price of DOT-approved helmets, let's say full face, can range from US$65 to US$550 - 10 times. Their price difference are coming mostly from their marketing, sponsorship, quality control, and R&B. Big brands spends most of their operating costs on these things.
