how are the arai's mirrored compared to the smoke? i saw a lot of talk on shoei, but no spec's on the arai shields..

btw, plus one on the smoke shoei, i loved mine :)
 
I have the silver mirror for my HJC, I like it because it gives you more visibility at night vs the dark smoke. So if your ride runs into dusk or night you dont have to worry about not seeing sh*t. If I know I will be out for a day ride I will run the dark smoke because it blocks more light.

I have the clear, silver mirrored, and dark smoke for the HJC. I liked the look of the mirrored shield but as most have said in this post it had way too much reflection inside and once its started to chip scratch it was HORRIBLE. You can see every scratch and it very distracting. I now have a dark smoke and I love it. It's great. Plenty of protection form the light and very little reflection.

just my 2 cents
 
bump for pics of Arai mirrored (silver and gold).
 
Yea, I wasn't planning on using it at night, too many bugs will smack into the shield that could scratch the visor.

I didn't know bugs only fly at night lol..... I had a few dead ones today on my visor after a long ride that would dispute your claim, if they were still alive, and could talk.....
 
The bugs that hit my faceshield only fly at night.

*smartass :jerkit

:p
 
Yep, those are the ones.
