Do You Know about ARAI© Helmet ??

The Author

Mr. Hirotake Arai, a hat maker by trade, started his company over 65 years ago. He was an artisan, a craftsman - and a motorcycle rider. Today, Michio "Mitch" Arai, another lifelong rider, runs the company. And his son, Akihito, is now the third generation.

100% Handmade

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. Every Arai helmet is virtually 100% handmade. Each craftsman signs the helmet shell along the way.

Pursuit of Quality

Arai helmets were built to maximize the comfort and protection the rider. The company was founded by a motorcyclist almost six decades ago, and so they have approached the care of riders with a singular obsession for quality and innovation since the beginning.

Company said so

Simply said, Arai's primary goal is not to be the world's biggest helmet company, but the world's best.

Reputation

Over 50 years devoted solely to the art and science of designing and building the best helmets humanly possible. An Arai helmet is not the product of compromise, of a "profit" point, or a board of directors. An Arai helmet is the product of obsession, an ongoing obsession. One small result of this is that Arai helmets have actually been exhibited in art museums as examples of design innovations - innovations that have been copied by other manufacturers for years.
