Awesome helmets! I love mine..

Any word on the Snell 2010 Std? Is it still hard as a rock? I like the ECE and BSE and JSP better.

 

[simonkobe]

probably will be similar to your helmet
OGK have a different design ethos to Arai,and the helmets have more give on impact,cushioning the blow etc(they are loved by racers in japan for this reason)

OGK just didnt want to pay snell for a sticker they dont need in Japan,but the new FF-5V is more international based.

Akiyoshi is replacing Aoyama at Assen. I hope he wears the blue w/flames!
