One issue for our Pakistan trip, with six airplane rides... how do you get your helmet there (and back) without damage?
It is too big for a carry-on according to published stuff and if you put it in your bag, you know they’re going to throw it at least a dozen times.
I actually went to Kali the other day and had them inspect my helmet. I did pack it carefully for the trip with a chest protector on both sides. My suitcase was rather banged up. Still, I would have rather carried it on as did everyone else.
Brad at Kali took bits apart and looked for signs of stress and damage. It passed. My helmet is just fine. I can't imagine that would be true if not for the chest protector and copious padding. Or a lesser quality helmet. Kali does have you crash it they replace it free policy. Once. Research, y'know.
of note is the on way back everyone had to check helmets because of some bunker busting actions somewhere.

my Arai helmet bag flew under the radar as a personal item the entire trip.
