I suffer from night blindness... docs always ask me if I drive at night... finally I learned to just tell them no so they don't flip out...

Rode my bike to work today... Rode home about 40 minutes ago.

Idk maybe I'll feel a little dif when I get some HID's and can actually see up ahead.

Oh eek!! Nah they're not THAT plentiful out where we were (thankfully)

(unfortunately, they don't even make a fog free visor for the Arai. )

Are you fucking kidding me? You pay $500+ for a helmet and it doesn't have a fog-free visor... Well, not that there was any chance of me owning one anyway, but I'll never have an Arai now.

Well lucky for me, I didn't pay $0.01 for it (it was a gift), but yeah that is quite literally my ONLY complaint about that lid -- no fog free.

Chris still wears his HJC carbon fiber sometimes for that very reason - just to be able to use his fog free and/or his pinlock system.

I absolutly love my Arai. Best helmet i've ever owned. However there are 2 things that would make it the perfect year round helmet.

1) Antifog shield.

2) Easier to change shield.

For those two reasons i'll still wear my HJC carbon fiber helmet when I ride at night, in the rain, or in the cold. I can change the shield on the HJC in about 5 seconds flat. 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 don't ever see myself spending over $250 on a helmet... and if I did... and it didn't have an antifog coating on the sheild... I'd punch babies.

I didn't think I could justify that much for a helmet either, but it's SOOOOOO confortable, and light, and just feels awesome.

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.

Ok, thinking of it like that, maybe it's not THAT much of a pain in the ass.
