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. |

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.

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. |

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.

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