Default Helmet
I'm considering get either an Arai GP-6s or GP-5w. Tried on the GP-5w and its a great fit. Does anyone know the difference between these two, is it just that the 5w has the wider eye port? Pretty sure both weigh 3.4 pounds.

Would appreciate recommendations on any comparable helmets especially if they are lighter.

The main difference is the 5W does have a larger eyeport. The 5W also has two forehead air vents where the 6S only has one. The 5W is more for sedan driving, where the 6S is for open cockpit.
