Both are really good helmets but you need to find a shop that has both in stock. The Shoei fits completely different than the Arai. It really depends on your head shape and how the helmet feels when it is on. Not something I would buy before trying on.

^^What he said^^

FWIW, my stepdad has an Arai and I have a Shoei. We both love our helmets. Whichever fits you better, you'll be happy with.
