The Arai Difference: The Organic Egg Shape
The humble egg. So fragile, yet it has protected life for hundreds of millions of years. It is remarkable that something so delicate can provide so much protection.
After more than 70 years of helmet research & development, we have found that a round, smooth, and strong shell can enhance the inherently limited absorption capacity of the inner liner of any helmet by being able to better avoid indirect impacts, which we refer to as Glancing Off, diminishing, or even preventing impact energy from getting into the helmet.
In simple terms, the less impact energy that gets in, the less energy the inner absorption liner needs to deal with. This is where we can enhance the helmets’ ability to protect.
