ARAI PROFILE MODEL NOW IN XXXL SIZE

2008-06-04 04:14
Arai Helmets has announced that its Profile model is now available in size XXXL.

The new size is initially limited to two solid colors, Black and White. But Arai says the range of colors will be expanded in the future, although the Profile’s other solid colors can now be special-ordered. Those colors are Aluminum Gray, Aluminum Silver, Black Frost, Gray Frost, Silver Frost, Race Red, Sport Blue and Sport Yellow.

The Profile is now one of three Arai helmets to come in XXXL; the others are the Classic/m and SZ/m open-face models.

Suggested retail for the new XXXL-size Profile is $558.95.

The Profile model uses Arai’s Long Oval (LO) shell shape, one of the company’s three different shell shapes designed to provide a better fit “than is possible with helmets that come in just one shell shape.” The Long Oval shape is designed for heads that are longer front to back and narrower side-to-side. Arai feels that one major reason for its helmets’ “legendary reputation for exceptional comfort and fit” is its belief that the shape of a rider’s head (the relationship between its length and width) is as important as the head’s size in getting the best helmet fit and comfort. In other words, two riders can have identical head sizes, but if one’s shape is long and narrow, and the other’s is round (the front-to-back and side-to-side dimensions are very close), both riders cannot get the best fit in the same helmet shape.
