Arai Helmet Europe released a 2014 helmet with features this sun visor which is different type that what we always see. The name is PRO Shade. This would be a great thing to see in country in South East Asia which have a hot sun shining almost everyday. There is a usual style that is use by another manufacturer that placed the visor between the outer shell and inner padding. This new Arai PRO Shade is different since it is installed outside on the outer shell, so, the safety of the shell is not compromised. Even though it is on the outer shell, the visor can still be flip down easily. It is also all-weather system that ensures the durability. Can be removed for easy cleaning. Check out the official words from Arai Helmet Europe:  arai-pro-shade -001With the new PRO Shade System, Arai now introduces a (patented) revolutionary solution to a well-known problem: sun glare!

It is nowadays quite common to use a retractable sun-visor that is situated between the helmet’s outer- and inner shell to protect against sun glare. However, it’s Arai’s opinion that this construction could affect the performance of a helmet during impact.

As the PRO Shade System is completely mounted on the outside of the helmet, it will not in any way negatively affect the performance of the helmet. It confirms to Arai’s R75 Shape concept.

The PRO Shade System is a small peak that is locked in position. Unlocking is easy; just pull the PRO Shade System forward. Than it can be flipped down with a flick of the hand, to perform as an effective sun-visor.

The PRO Shade System is the complete all-weather system for serious touring riders, offering protection against: sun glare, fogging and misting. Especially for riders that prefer an upright seating position and/or the comfort of a fairing, the PRO Shade System will enhance the rider’s comfort significantly.

• Complete system, mounted on clear MAX Vision visor
• Enhanced aerodynamics

• Removable for easy cleaning
• No contact with visor: no scratching
