Arai Signet-Q Racer Helmet The Signet-Q takes all the favorite features of the RX-Q and create a whole new series based on all the successes. On the outside, the Arai Signet-Q Racer Helmet looks very similar to it's namesake, the RX-Q, but on the inside you can see and feel the difference. A longer shell shape on the Arai Signet-Q Racer Helmet gives 5mm more space front to back allowing for a larger number of heads to fit comfortably. The shape of the Arai Signet-Q Racer Helmet releases forehead pressures and eliminate hot spots for a more comfortable fit every time. This shape works best for riders with a long oval headshape. Additional Features of the Arai Signet-Q Racer Helmet Both the top vent set and side exhaust cowls are direct carryovers from the RX-Q Brow vent ducting redirects to flow air across the temples DDL-4 exhaust vent to the 10mm wider eye port (5mm on each side) Long Oval Fit SAI MAX-Vision Brow Vent shield Clear Pin Lock Max-Vision Brow Vent pinlock lense included. Elongated shell adds 5mm from front to back Long-Oval shape helps prevent Hot-Spot Multi-Density Single piece EPS liner Removable, replaceable, washable interior Dry-Cool Surface material for rapid displacement of heat and moisture away from your head and into the ventilation airflow for added comfort while riding and a quick dry between rides 5mm peel-away temple pads adds another level of customization, giving the helmet interior a little extra width when needed Enhanced for customizable micro fitment interior without the need to purchase extra interior components Arai Signet Q Racer graphic has the New FCS (Facial Contour Support) cheek pad design Innovative and exclusive spring support adds just the right amount of pressure when needed while being worn Meets or exceeds Snell and D.O.T. standards
 

Signet Q fitment question vs a Shoei

I have been wearing Shoei large size helmets for the last few years. The Multitec feels too big and the standard full face Large Shoei feels just right. What size Signet would fit? Large or Meduim?
I have a Shoei X-11 in a size Medium, which fits nicely, or so I thought. Because of the long oval shape of the Arai Signet Q, I was able to go down to a size Small. It fits snugly and seems to make full contact around my head, but it is very comfortable. More comfortable than the Shoei.
When my head was measured it was found to be just a little large for the Small and at the very bottom of the Medium range. I opted for the Small and feel I made the right choice: zero hot-spots, no headaches. I never realized the Shoei does indeed have a little bit of "flop around" when doing a shoulder-check, until I discovered that the Arai is rock solid. I believe this is because the sides of the Arai are in contact with my head, whereas with the Shoei in a size Small I got forehead hot-spots; with the size Medium there is extra space on the sides.
I just wish the helmet strap was a little longer. I would have gladly paid the extra nickel!
