The XD-5 is a completely redesigned helmet, packed with many new features. As with everything from Arai, every improvement is made with a priority for protection. And this new model brings us ever closer to the ideal Arai shape for protection.
VISOR SYSTEM AND VISOR
One of the biggest changes is the visor system and its visor. The new VAS-A visor system, derived from the VAS-V system developed for the RX-7V, has been designed to maximize Glancing-Off performance, meaning more surface area to glance off impact energy whilst offering easy installation and removal of the visor and peak. The visor itself has been redesigned for increased visibility and Glancing-Off performance, and is now a Max Vision visor, so a Pinlock insert can easily be installed. The new VAS-A visor system also makes it easier to switch, without tools, to one of the other styles. You can choose between Adventure, Off-road and On-road.
VENTILATION SYSTEM
Other improvements include a completely new ventilation system. The ventilation system of the XD-5 is the second model to feature the 3D logo duct, previously introduced on the Quantic. Complemented by the new AR Spoiler and the latest iteration of the Delta Duct, the Delta Duct 6, the XD-5 also features a completely new chin vent. The ventilation system of the XD-5 will have ample air flow to keep you cool no matter what, so don't sweat it. Additionally, the inner vent gate can flow air to the mouth or visor for increased defogging. As with any Arai model, ventilation parts like the 3D Logo Duct, AR Spoiler and Delta Duct 6 are made to break off during an impact for maximum Glancing Off performance.
INTERIOR DESIGN
On the inside, the interior is fully removable, with an adjustable pad at the rear of the crown pad. A redesigned nose deflector will make the use of goggles easy. FCS cheek pads will give a firm fit both on- and off-road.
The forehead area of the shell is reinforced by a super fiber belt which is similar to the way in which bands strengthen a barrel
PB-cLc shell is assembled using an assortment of materials
VAS-A shield system lowered to further improve 'glancing off' ability
Peak
Designed for more effective ventilation, increased high speed flow-through performance, greater range of adjustability for blocking the sun, and is more resistant to buffeting, all of which leads to an overall more comfortable riding experience
VAS-A Shield System
Allows for easier and faster shield swaps
The shield can be attached or removed without the need for any tools

Can Medium pads be fitted on a Large helmet? My head measures 58.6cm so not sure if sizing up or down.

[@SpeedAddictsTV]

Yes, that will work.

Hey man, I really appreciate you showing the new shield swap-that was missing in all the other reviews I watched and given the terrible swap system on the XD-4, it was the feature I most wanted to know about!
