Arai Cheek Pads for Corsair V, RX-Q and Signet-Q Helmets (35mm Only)
- Riders will sometimes need to change the cheek pads that come installed in their helmets. Some people need a little more or less space, while others simply need to install a fresh set of pads for better comfort (and smell).
- The pads both come out and can be installed quite easily.
- Use the chart below to figure out what size cheek pad you currently have based on your helmet size, and then pick a replacement set based on your need.
You’ll see a choice of “regular” pads and “EcoPure” pads. The two types are physically the same, but in 2016 Arai developed a new “EcoPure pad” which uses a slightly different cover material and it is claimed to maintain a neutral pH level close to the skin.
Please look at the gallery pictures to determine whether your helmet has the regular pads or the EcoPure. We recommend the EcoPure for ALL replacement purposes, but if you want the fabric texture/color to match your helmet’s interior, you can order the regular replacement pads (if still available).

You can buy the same thickness of cheek pad if you like the fit of your helmet and just need a replacement set. Or you can buy a different thickness cheek pad to adjust fit as all the cheek pads are interchangeable between the different helmet sizes. In addition to the cheek pad thicknesses listed above, there are two optional thicknesses: 12mm and 15mm.
Changing cheek pads to change the helmet fit: To get MORE room in your helmet, you need to buy a SMALLER cheek pad. To get a TIGHTER fit, you need to buy a LARGER cheek pad. Example: If you have a size Large Corsair V helmet that was manufactured after January 2014, you have cheek pads that measure 20mm. If the helmet is too tight on you, a 12 or 15mm pad would give you more room.
