I had been meaning to replace my rather smelly and dinged Arai Tour X3. The Nexx XD1 is about \u00a3100 cheaper than a new Arai and has some up to date features &#8211; some plates to attach camera mounts (to save me glueing them on to the outside of the lid) and a clever sun visor. It feels much lighter than my Arai and coupled with buying a size large (size M wouldn&#8217;t even fit over my head) it feels less reassuring\u00a0when on. I need to move my Bluetooth kit over to it and I will try it on the bike.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1888\" style=\"width: 247px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.obliquepanic.com\/?attachment_id=1888\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1888\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1888\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1888\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.obliquepanic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Screen-Shot-2016-04-01-at-20.28.00.png\" alt=\"Lid\" width=\"237\" height=\"254\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1888\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lid<\/p><\/div>\n<p>I zoomed over there to catch it before it closed (see Shot from Adze).
