Review on Arai Helmet Sunblocker: Enhancing Helmet Sun Protection by Dhoal Shankar

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Check out the haircut!

I've had a hell of a time with this product when it finally stuck and wouldn't peel off when opening and closing the screen, the tint on the screen was too low, it was especially uncomfortable driving on randomly shaded ones areas and dangerous visual impairments when dusk and darkness set in. I had to keep my shield almost fully open so the shade would be less of a hindrance instead of having fun on a cold freeway drive home after sundown. To attempt. I visually noted where the placement looked best in relation to the Arai brow holes, which for me the lowest part of the shadow fell just about 12mm below the deepest point of the brow hole. Then I marked and cut the top of the lampshade with a utility knife to trim it down to a reference I made for myself to better fit the VAS-V visor and brow openings. Speaking of which, I don't even know why this company offers the Arai cutout version when it's so far from the mark on the actual helmet that you still have to cut it. After cropping, the shadow placement and utility is now MUCH better. I'm tired of throwing shadows in the trash.
