agreed... I have the Arai. Some of the padding comes out. What doesn't come out easily, doesn't come out.

Also, I suggest a call to HANS. I spent a fair amount of time on the phone with them. They recommended a different tether length than what it says in the manual. Also, they were particular about the orientation of the screw.

Oh, and by the way... that flat wrench IS among the items the TSA will confiscate! Learned that the hard way.
