WHY IS THIS HELMET SO CHEAP?!
This helmet is SNELL2015. What does that mean? There are a lot of misconceptions about helmet age, so lets look at the facts. Yes, this helmet is outside the official Arai warranty period, so Arai does not have to warrant any problems, but history shows that they are far more likely to do so than not as it is their reputation on the line.
USEFUL LIFE The biggest misconception that has been bouncing around the internet is that a helmet's useful life is the same as the warranty period. However, just like a car, that is not true. A helmet's useful life begins when it is put into use. But please don't believe us. Instead look at the attached letter from Snell, which confirms this fact as 100% accurate.
RACING If you are looking for a racing helmet, PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS HELMET. The difference here is that racing organizations and driving schools may or may not require the latest Snell certification. What that means is they will likely tell you you cannot attend the event without buying a helmet that is SNELL2020. The good part of this is that these organizations put themselves in the liability loop by requiring this of you as it may be perceived to imply a more safe situation.
NON-COMPETITION USE. This helmet is absolutely suitable for uses outside of those controlled by racing / race schools. They have been professional stored and are checked before they are shipped to ensure they are as-new. AND you have the right to return this helmet if you choose.
If we can help you put an excellent helmet on your head for the price of a much lesser one (or a preowned one), please enjoy the huge savings this helmet can provide you.

XD4 FEATURES
XD4 FIT INTERMEDIATE OVAL (IO) – Balanced fit from front-to-rear and side-to-side providing the most universal fit for riders in North America. (IO is the basis from which other fit models are derived.)
-----
FCS® CHEEK PADS Arai’s patented cheek pad design makes entering and exiting the helmet more comfortable while delivering improved comfort and support in the facial area with the added fit customization feature of exclusive removable 5mm peel-away fit layer.
AIRFLOW EFFICIENCY Sculpted side intake vents improve ventilation efficiency and helmet stability at speed. While the chin vent - with its added intake ports - improves the flow of fresh air to the mouth and nose. Diffuser top vents work to nearly double the XD4’s airflow pulling stale air out of the helmet and fresh air in. While brow vents built into the XD4’s face shield provide cooling airflow to the temple area of the head without altering the safety shell.
DESIGNED FOR AERODYNAMICS & FLEXIBILITY The XD4’s shell shape provides improved aerodynamic stability, especially at higher speeds, working in concert with the high-flow peak and side cowl vents for added stability. Three (3) configuration options allow the XD4 alternate between off-road specific (no shield), on-road specific (no peak) and dual-purpose (shield and peak) usage.
CUSTOM FIT FOR EVERY RIDER Arai’s exclusively builds peel-away fit layers into the cheek and temple pads so that each and every rider can customize a helmet to fit them specifically without added expense. Options sizes are additionally available not only in cheek pads but in interior fit liners that allow a rider to build a helmet size “between” standard sizes for the highest level of fit customization on the market fitting even the hardest to fit heads.
REMOVABLE / REPLACEABLE / WASHABLE Arai’s Dry-Cool® technology not only keeps the rider drier and cooler for added comfort for commutes and long-hauls whether in hot or cool weather. Best of all the entire interior can be removed, replaced and even washed without tools.
EMERGENCY RELEASE SYSTEM Developed by Arai and shared with other brands - because some technology is best shared - Quick Release Cheek Pads slide out easily with pull tabs built into each cheek pad making helmet removal easier for trained medical personnel.
