So Thursday I made the mistake of trying on an Arai RX-Q just for giggles as I was browsing the local BMW motorcycle dealer. The damn thing fit me even better than the Shoei RF-1200 I was just about to buy. Damn damn damn. Seriously though, as much as I liked the Shoei, the Arai was even more comfortable and did a better job of not screwing with my glasses.
To that end I need to find out if the Vector 2 has the same fit as the RX-Q. Anyone familiar enough with these to tell me if they're close? The Vector 2 is roughly the same price as the RF-1200, but the RX-Q is going to require about another $100 worth of begging to she-who-must-be-obeyed. There's always the "It's the best helmet I've found, isn't my head worth it?" argument, but she's already eyeballing my bike and wondering if a divorce lawyer wouldn't be cheaper...
So if I can save the money and get the same fit out of the Vector 2, great. If not, time to start doing extra yardwork to soften the blow.
