Progressive American Flat Track announced today that Arai Helmet, Inc. will be the Official Helmet of Progressive AFT for a fifth consecutive season in 2022.
Arai is widely recognized as the world’s premier helmet manufacturer, and its innumerable motorsports successes across such championships as Progressive AFT, Formula 1, and MotoGP attest to that fact. Arai has provided elite two- and four-wheeled athletes with unparalleled safety, comfort, technology, and style for generations.
“Arai has been the helmet of choice by flat track racers for decades,” said Gene Crouch, COO of Progressive AFT. “There’s nothing more important in racing than proper helmet safety, and no manufacturer better understands the needs and desires of riders better than Arai. Arai’s dedication to safety, craftsmanship, and quality is truly impressive.”
Arai Helmet is a three-generation, family-owned Japanese company that specializes in manufacturing high-quality motorcycle helmets. Its mission is simple and has remained unchanged since it was founded by Mr. Hirotake Arai in the 1950s: protection without compromise. To this day, and for more than seven decades, Arai has been accumulating gains in protection one-by-one, even if just a little. Rather than seeking a profit, Arai is driven by a desire to produce a better helmet to protect their fellow riders.
Each helmet is meticulously handmade with exclusive materials and technology and rigorously double-inspected before being shipped. That’s the Arai difference: quality and craftsmanship for the protection of motorcycle enthusiasts. You can learn more here in their “Value of Arai” video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=NO7lBYsxhMw.
