RideApart Helmet Review - Signet Q Pro Tour
Arai makes some of the world's best helmets. Just watch any racing series and almost all of the top riders will have on an Arai helmet. This is also a choice the rider makes as Arai doesn't sponsor riders—they choose them.
Summary
The Signet Q Pro Tour tested here is an upgrade from the Signet Q, and they addressed some of the minor quibbles folks had with the original as well as adding some very nice features.

Paint, Graphics and Overall Quality
The Signet Q Pro Tour we tested is a black frost. Like all Arai helmets, we have tested the paint and it's flawless: There are no chips, defects, fish eye, dirt areas that aren't painted, or other issues. These paint issues are so common on lower priced helmets they are practically a feature.
Overall, I'll rate the Signet Q as "Outstanding" for initial paint and quality. I would rate it “Outstanding” for the durability of those finishes.

Fit, Internal Shape and Liner
Fit is perfect as I have expressed before. I have a long oval head and the Signet Q Pro Tour is my exact head shape. It's one of only two brands of helmet where I can actually wear my proper size. My head measure 57.5 cm, which is dead center for a size medium. Unfortunately, most other helmets feel like they are trying to squeeze the very essence out of my brain, which is not conducive to a comfortable riding experience.
The liner has been upgraded with softer materials that add to the comfort and moisture wicking ability. Arai already had one of the better interiors on the market and this little upgrade just made it that much more comfortable. The other change to the interior is a larger ear pocket. In a nod to those who use communicators, ear plugs, or head phones they enlarged the opening to better accommodate those items.
Overall, I would rate the fit, shape, and liner as “Excellent”.
Face Shield, Eye Port and Visibility
The face shield on all Arai helmets comes with the PinLock insert for anti-fog capability. The latest update to their shield mechanism is the Pro Shield system. This incorporates a blacked-out shield at the top of the main visor and gives you the ability to block out the sun and go right back to clear without changing the shield.
Visibility out of the eye port is “Excellent.” The eye port opening is average sized, but it doesn't inhibit what you need to see and provides plenty of ventilation with the—unique to Arai—brow ventilation.
I would rate the Signet Q “Outstanding” for the seal, shield change process, and over quality.
