The GS of helmets, the XD4! It really fits nicely, not heavy, great view and proper ventilation. And it's an Arai....from Formula 1, MotoGP, WSB, they sure know how to make a helmet.

Thank you so much for detailing fitment with glasses! This is too often overlooked in reviews. I’ve already had to return two otherwise good helmets because I couldn’t comfortably get my glasses on or wear them right.

Glad it was helpful! I too have wanted to wear several helmets that I could not due to their incompatibility with glasses. Some I have modified... but that is not recommended of course. I have a couple more videos like this in the works and if you want to see them when released, please subscribe if you are not already. Thanks for watching. - Kyle

[@Boxer1250RT]

I have been using Arai XD 4 for 5 years. It is the only Helmet that fits me like a Glove in size Med. Lots of Vents and Exhaust. I tried everything else but went back to Arai.

[@manybikes]

i totally agree about the XD4. One of the most comfortable helmets I have ever worn.

[@Boxer1250RT]

@Joseph Marton XD 4 Noise level is pretty decent, however I use ear plugs. I also have a Schuberth S2 which is considered one of the quitest. I use the Arai 90% of the time bc it feets me better.

[@kim_yong_un]

So valuable!! Everyone talks about specs.. Which you can find in product description everywhere. But the fit and appeal in comparison next to eachother is also very important. Thank you sir!

Hi Kyle, what is the circumference of your head? I have the same shaped head but I want to know if our heads are of the same size so that I can know what to buy, thank you!

[@ricerupert]

Purchase my Vemar Kona from Chaparral Motorsports that I've been wearing for a year now, probably the most underrated helmet especially for the price and weight. Italian helmet, so quality is top notch.

[@manybikes]

Thank you for sharing your story Rice. Great to hear that you like it and it is working for you. It is a very popular helmet and many who are looking for other more expensive helmets that then try on and compare to the Vemar... end up going that route. Happy you are happy with yours! Thanks for watching. - Kyle

@@manybikes Thanks and great informative video. Cheers and enjoy the ride.

[@droptuned83]

Not sure the Italian so is top quality thing is true. I have owned AGV (Italian) helmets before and found them to be extremely bad build quality. Same for Vemar. only onetoget my cash would be Arai. Maybe Shoei , dependent on fit.

Great review, I always struggle to find helmets that work with glasses. I'm interested in the Bell mx9

[@Mmagus]

Hi Kyle. Thanks for the video, good info and fun unedited. There is one thing that you left out which for me is a big deal. I use the LS to Pioneer and it has an internal drop-down sunvisor which is a great benefit! Do any of the other helmets have that in your list? Also, the LS two visor does not drop down in the wind. You can put it on any of the notch settings and it will stay securely. You can even open it about an eighth of an inch, not on a notch, and it stays open. That’s handy if any fogging happens. Cheers!

[@manybikes]

Hey Mark, great meeting you last week and thank you for sharing this info! See you around! - Kyle

The Krios Pro, literally, saved my life. Fell off the side of a trail, head first onto a boulder, then flipped onto my back. 11,000 feet. Helivac'd outta the wilderness. Discharged 2 hours later without a bruise on my body. Mild concussion, but any other helmet and I'd be dead. THE KLIM KRIOS PRO HELMET SAVED MY LIFE. No Shit.

[@FrancoisPeens]

Great comparison video, thanks. I have a Touratec Adventuro Mod, basically a Schubert E1 with improved ventilation, better peak and a hook on the back for a goggle strap. The helmet also features an integrated sun visor and ratchet style fastener. Nice quiet helmet with high quality internals but a bit in the heavy side. I reckon it is one of the top helmets with a price tag to match that was missing from this comparison.

[@revd4461]

@@manybikes I have owned a few Harley and BMW bikes in my day, but not since 2007. I typically rode with a half helmet or no helmet. In 2018, I bought a new Street Scrambler. After a quick spin, I decided riding without a proper helmet was not appealing anymore. So, I bought two Bell Moto 3s and a Daytona Cruiser 3/4 helmet. I thought those helmets would compliment the off-road, retro style of my Street Scrambler. While decent, for me, those helmets fall short on practicality and versatility. For anyone considering the above-noted helmets (in my opinion): The Moto 3 is nice, but when riding with others, talking at red lights is almost impossible, access to your face is limited, and the peak catches the wind over 45 MPH. Also, the only way to shield your eyes is with glasses or goggles. I found that I do not really like wearing goggles for extended periods. Glasses are okay with the Moto 3, but you can not cover your entire face if needed while wearing one. The Daytona Cruiser looks great because of its low profile and retro appearance. Also, it is a great value. I added a flip up visor/shield combo. I love wearing it for short trips, but for longer rides, I like full face coverage. To address the aforementioned issues, I started searching for adventure helmet options, and stumbled across the AT950. I wish I had seen it sooner. It is the perfect solution, as it seems to combine most of the features of my helmets in one tidy package. It looks like a motocross helmet, has three options for face and eye protection, allows access to my face and has an eye port that rivals the Moto 3. I am not sure what other equipment you have reviewed to date, but I think head-to-head reviews of all the typical riding gear would be helpful. Or, maybe other helmets, such as 3/4, half, or motocross style. I know when I searched for helmets, I liked to see them on a person with the size noted and number of shell size options. You basically covered the other stuff. Thanks again.

[@manybikes]

BRYAN thanks so much for your feedback! I’ll get your suggestions added to my list of things to do... Thanks again for watching. - Kyle

[@ScottSillis]

Excellent review Kyle. I'm almost sold on the Klim Krios Pro, I've never worn an Adventure style helmet so not sure how much of a pain it is with bugs, mud etc getting on the shield is like to deal with. I'm currently wearing an M2R MX style (DOT+SNELL) with roll-off goggles. I want a lighter helmet that is quieter and better airflow through the peak. In Australia you're looking at $1000+ for a Krios Pro. What price do you put on your head right. Thanks Kyle great viewing as always. 🤙😎🇦🇺🇺🇲

[@manybikes]

Go for it! I am on my third Krios Pro. I had an Icon Variant and a Bell MX9 Adv in between the others. The Krios Pro is hands down the best helmet. The Transitions shield is fantastic. The helmet is 1 pound lighter (with headset and camera installed) than my Arai XD4 Naked!!! Great unit. Mine was $750 USD. Expensive, but worth it. Oh... and the Fidlock buckle. Can't stand d-rings any more!!!

Great video review I'm thinking about getting the Klim Krios pro or Shoei hornet X2 just looking for a good cool your thoughts?

[@manybikes]

Thanks for watching. Head shape is key. Both are more of an intermediate shape, but my long oval head fits the Krios Pro the best. I’ve tried to wear the Shoei as it’s fit and finish is excellent, better than the Krios Pro. That being said the shape of the helmet didn’t fit me. I went with the Aria XD4 instead. Almost 2 years ago I picked up the Krios Pro and at first wear it “felt cheap” but… it was so light and the transitions shield was a breath of fresh air. Long term, the Krios Pro is the lightest, the most comfortable and best performing ADV helmet I’ve owned. Try both on… you will immediately know which one is for you.

I'm long oval pretty much. My current helmets are Medium: Arai VX Pro 3 dirt helmet, Icon Variant 2010.. Medium, and a Large(had to go large medium was really weird fitting) Fly Carbon Snowmobile helmet. My fly sucks. its DOT/SNELL but I had to go large and i can stick my chin out and hit the front area..etc. My Icon is my favorite fitting helmet ever. Followed by my arai. I think I want a Klim Krios Pro Arsenal, but klim tells me they wont be back in stock until feb 2020...sigh.... Do you think the klim krios pro would fit me in medium? From watching this it seems like it probably would.

[@manybikes]

Your head shape your helmet experiences are really close to mine. My Icon helmets are the best fitting... I too have the same Fly Carbon fit situation and my Arai XD-4 was my best fitting Adv helmet but I retired it due to a crash. Yes, if you ride a Medium in the above helmets, then I would suggest a Medium in the Krios Pro. You may need to go down to the Small liner though... as it is a little more intermediate oval and the fit is a little bigger. Bummer on the Klim ETA... Thanks for watching. - Kyle

[@prestonm.4874]

almost 2 years later, which one is your go to now?

[@manybikes]

Having worn several of these for a week or more since this was shot... the Krios Pro is my daily go-to. It is MUCH lighter than most of the others and it is so much more vented / water evaporates out of it so much faster. Most other helmets... once the liner is wet... it is wet until the next day. With the Krios Pro... I can take it off for an hour, eat lunch and I can put back on a mostly dry helmet. It's pretty amazing. And with Com and Camera it is still lighter than my Arai XD4... which is my favorite fit and finish wise but it heavy, doesn't vent well, the peak is not removeable and it doesn't have a transitions shield. Wow... that is a lot. No wonder I ride daily in the KLIM ;)

I'm now convinced that Bell makes a great helmet... but due to the aesthetics of the logo and the fact that Bell helmets were the only helmets sold at Walmart when I was a kid I can't convince myself that they're a high-end product worthy of my money. I realize thats a bit of a snobby outlook but its honestly the way I feel.

[@manybikes]

There is a BIG difference between the "entry level" Bell helmet and the high-end helmets. a VERY BIG difference. I have been to their headquarters in Santa Cruz, CA... it is impressive! In-house testing that is super impressive. Pretty awesome. I just wish they were lighter helmets ...

[@roguenomad966]

Great vid. Really informative. What size cm is your noggin. I’m a 57cm which falls in the medium range. I have a very long oval head-shape. I bought a shoei online about 5 years ago but found it on the larger side. Looking at either arai or the kryos pro. I can’t try them because i order them online internationally and i live in a country where returns are near impossible. Would you advise i stick to the medium or go for a small. Need a new lid but dreading buying one and it not fitting right. I ride an africa twin. Thanks

[@manybikes]

John Mason Nice! Africa Twins are great. I’m a 54.5 to 55 cm and a small fits me best. I am a long oval and must say the Arai XD4 is the best fitting helmet I’ve ever owned. That being said, it lacks some really nice features I have grown to love. The Krios Pro is a fantastic helmet, but does lack the fit and finish of the Arai. I’d suggest you stick with the medium. Thanks for watching!

[@manybikes]

Don't know how I missed your comment / inquiry. I am a 55-1/2 cm which puts me smack dab in the middle of most helmet manufacturers Small size... 55 to 56 cm. I am a long oval... but can wear an intermediate pretty well. I am not shaped right for Shoei... but Arai fits me amazingly. I have been wearing the Kiros Pro for about 8 months now and LOVE it... Here is my 1 month review of the Krios Pro helmet: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnicYYGsoadrnpY After nearly 50k miles in it I still love the light weight feeling of the helmet and the venting / breathability is remarkable. It is "squishy" inside as compared to my other helmets - but it is comfy. I went with size Small - but should have gone XSmall in retrospect. It's a little loose now that it is VERY broken in... hope this helps if you haven't already pulled the trigger. If you have, what did you go with? Do you like it? Thanks for watching, Kyle

What a great review, really good to see back to back comparisons like this with real world feedback. Subscribed straight away. I’m looking at the Arai and Kilm Pro, but my head size 58.5cm is right in between both brands large (59-60) and medium (57-58). Ive tried on a friends X4 in large that he’s had for 6 months and it feels to big. You mentioned in previous comments that one of the helmet guys had the same size head as me (I appreciate this is a year ago) but what size would he go for in both? Also I love the colour of the Arai x4, it would go perfect with my Yam T7! I have never seen that in the UK, is that a specific US version?

[@manybikes]

If I were you, I'd go with the Medium. They will break in ... and become looser fitting. I also have some tricks I will share with you IF you need more room around the edges. The KRIOS Pro is my favorite helmet to date. SUPER light weight and it breathes / vents really well.

[@TheXFactorFilm]

I’m torn between the Arai and Klim Krios pro. Of course nobody has them in stock and I can’t try them on like this. I’m also more of an egg head and have a hard time finding a good fit.

[@manybikes]

I too am a long oval. The XD4 is the “perfect fit” and the fit and finish is superior. That being said… the Krios Pro is my favorite helmet. With a camera and Communicator mounted the Krios Pro is still almost pounds lighter than my Arai.

Glad it was helpful! I do plan on doing more... time is my issue. Yes, I measure 54cm for my helmet size and a Size Small is typically 20"-22" or 51-56cm. My brain isn't big, just concentrated.

[@Seektruth-59]

Klim batman ears need to go before I would buy it.

[@manybikes]

Ha! Ha! Ha! I had never noticed the ears before... but as I was riding into work today I saw my shadow... and thought... THAT is what M Fox was talking about!

[@mem5922]

The MX-9 is a nice helmet for the price but the strap is a DEAL BREAKER!! The ring-side is TOO LONG. When you tighten this helmet up, the rings will ride right on the middle of your throat. Worst in when you look down, the D-rings jam into right into your adams apple. Only helmet I've ever wore in 40yrs of riding that actually bruised my throat. Arai and Shoei get the D-ring strap length RIGHT! Saving my bucks for my original 1st choice, the XD-4! Oh, quick tip Kyle... you need to tighten the strap a lot more to really FEEL how the helmet will fit your head.

[@manybikes]

Thank you for your real world feedback on the MX-9. Yeah, Aria is my Go-To and is the best fitting in my head. I do have to disagree about needing the “helmet strap tight” to feel how a helmer fits. That will let you know how the “strap feels” but the helmet fitment is really at the crown & cheek pad area. I wear my strap so I can easily fit two fingers between the strap and my chin / neck. Now strap placement is KEY. I have had three helmets over the years that I had purchased and the strap placement was so bad I didn’t even test ride the helmet before giving them away. The original Shark, an AFX dirt helmet and a Simpson. All heads and all helmets are different and finding the ones that fit your head is KEY! Thanks for watching!

I have the LS2 Pioneer MX436 size M. Fits well (head size 58). It is ECE 22.05 certified as all of the expensive helmets. Looks cool. Very light 1350gr 2.9 pounds and that is with the internal sun visor. Pinlock ready. Liner even though fully removable is a little thin. Peak is big like an MX helmet. Visor is very good and solid but as you mentioned doesnt stay fully opened easily (side screws must be tight). Excellent value for money, bought it for 105 euros (114 USD).

[@manybikes]

Great feedback! I have been tempted to run this helmet for an extended run... Just haven't yet. Thanks for watching! - Kyle

[@PrimalMiltos]

If one must have a Snell helmet the only choices are the good old Shoei and Arai.

[@manybikes]

Yes, I do agree. There are less expensive helmets that have Snell ratings, but the fit and finish if Arai and Shoei are unmatched. Thanks for watching! - Kyle

I'm having a hard time choosing between the Bell MX9 and the Scorpion exo at950

[@manybikes]

While the Bell MX9 is a great helmet, the friends of mine who have the exo at950 LOVE it and are huge supporters. - Kyle

[@axelfox11]

Which one is the best?

[@manybikes]

I like the Klim Krios Pro and the Arai XD4... those are my two favorites.

[@axelfox11]

Kyle Bradshaw those are my favorite too but now I only have enough money to buy one of it !! 😁 thanks for the help

[@manybikes]

Alexis Estrada The XD4 is a better fitting & a better put together helmet. That being said, the Krios Pro is SO light and flows So much air... it’s incredible. Tough choice!

[@othoapproto9603]

I close my eye also when putting on my glasses. you couldn't pay me to buy any klim product.

[@manybikes]

Ha! Ha! Ha!

[@rojodogg]

I have the LS2 Pioneer, love the light weight, chin strap and the venting. Price is also awesome. Had for over 3 years and would definitely buy again.

[@manybikes]

Right on, Thanks for sharing! I was supposed to have tested one of those, but it never worked out. I've only got "studio time" in the Pioneer. Happy to hear you like it!

[@bikesandfamily3082]

hi thanks for this video. iv heard you said your a small size. whats your head measurements ? thanks

[@manybikes]

chuck noel I measure right at 56 cm. It’s a solid size Small for most helmets.

[@bikesandfamily3082]

@@manybikes thanks for getting back to me. I have 58cm head. Asian. Do u think medium works for me in bell mx9? Also online theres a blackout version. Does it mean it will have the dark visors with it?

[@manybikes]

chuck noel - I’d recommend the large. According to the size chart. Bell MX-9 Helmet Sizing MD 57-58 and LG 59-60. I asked our helmet department guys and one guy is a 58.5 and the large is great. I’d go that route.

[@rsilvers129]

Helmets are weighed in grams. I can’t make sense of pounds and oz for helmets since no one else reports them that way.

[@manybikes]

Yes, in some worlds they are measured in Grams. Here in the USA our manufacturers and distributors discuss helmets in pounds and ounces. Even Revzilla uses Pounds and Ounces : "Helmet weights generally run between 3 - 4+ lbs. Helmets between 3 and 3.75lb are considered to be on the lighter end of the spectrum. Weights listed on RevZilla.com are based on Large helmets with all liners included"

[@Seektruth-59]

The krios you tried shows size Medium and the pro is size Small, so not a fair comparison

[@manybikes]

Yes... I thought I had pulled ALL SMALL helmets. This was a mistake. Wish I had an easy way to fix it...

[@Seektruth-59]

@@manybikes I figured but just to make you aware it was not because it was a loose fit…

I'm not a big fan of DOT only. ECE is the minimum

[@manybikes]

I totally agree!

[@StansE250]

DOT is pretty worthless. While it is “mandatory” for US market, it’s pretty RIDICULOUS that labels(brands) are on the ‘honor system’ for test results. That makes the cert absolutely Worthless to me. Snell is ‘good’; but, the European ratings are leaps & bounds above US ratings in terms of efficacy. Actually, if you dig a little, Snell bases their ratings on Hard impacts, whereas a larger number of TBIs occur at lower (intensity) impact. Stick with ECE for Ultimate Safety.

Why didn't the shoei neotech modular get on the test list???

The Neotech is a great helmet, but it didn’t make this list as It’s not an ADV style helmet. Your comment makes me think I should do a Modular Helmet haul...

Hi Kyle, great video! The one thing that jumps out at me is the number of helmets. The title says 13 and I only saw 12. Did I miss something? Don't worry about it, the video was great other than that.

[@manybikes]

Got me! In the rolling list you will see the 13 - in the Try on, the Icon Variant PRO is missing as it is Brand New and not yet in stock. I do have a review on the way... I rode in it last week and did get the weight. Sorry that was not clear. Thanks for watching! - Kyle

The review was awesome but all the overpriced KLIM gear is made in China and I think we should be told where gear is manufactured. I refuse to buy gear produced in that country because of the world release of COVID- 19. You produced this video before that but have noticed some recent ones where you don't tell us and trust me we want to know. $1300 US on a Klim jacket is a lot of money. My money will not be going there until there government backs off being a bullies to Hong Kong, Australia and any other country on Earth.

[@manybikes]

Mikey B Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Your statement is incorrect however... while some of Klim gear is made In China, much of it is made in Bangladesh, Thailand, Indonesia and more and more of it (like most of their t-shirts) are made in Mexico. I’ll do my best to try to remember to include where items are made in my reviews. Good point.
