    NEW: Arai Pro Shade Unboxing and Mini-Review

    Already sold out all over, grabbed it from revzilla.com as soon as I got the stock email. But I did this as I know I was curious and maybe some of you are.

    Thanks for posting the review. I'm curious to see what you think about the tinted section not coming down all the way (you mentioned you could see the line between tinted and clear in your field of view). I currently just keep some el chepo sunglasses on me but this would be way nicer! Looking forward to the follow up.

    Dumb / noon question, what's the silicon that you applied do? Just make it open and close better? Thx!

    It just lubricates the mechanism. I didn't know what is was for for awhile either. It makes it actuate much smoother. Will post back up thoughts, I've been busy doing research all day after making the video; will do my best.

    Thanks for the video, that shield looks pretty legit. Great for those rides when you head out at 4 or 5 and get back after sunset. Be cool to hear your thoughts after riding with it for a while. Thanks again though.

    Isn't the shade going to catch serious wind in the up position?

    For the money I'll take the my Transitions anti fog over that setup.
    I've got more flavor than a packet of macaroni.

    Ditto on the Bell setup.

    I hear you guys, but the Bell is not an Arai... no thanks. Anti-fog has nothing on pinlock.

    Here's my follow up post-ride review:
