The antifog shield works great. Every once in a while I have to rinse the inside to "reactivate" the anti fog, but it still works awseome.

The Arai shield is a pain in the ass to change out. I just leave a dark smoke shield on it and use it in the daytime. The vents on the Arai are just awseome.
I would like an anti-fog shield for my Arais too, but I can put up with the pain-in-the-ass visor system. Arai explained that the covers keep the visor from popping during the get-off when your face is ground into the pavement.
