[QUOTE="Jabba, post: 133319, member: 1840"] Yeah- that shield is giving you good UV protection- Most of the plastics that allow good optics also block U.V. fortunately. Proof? Does your nose get sunburn on a long ride? Nope! Same concept for protecting your eyes. That photochromic shield you posted has gotten SHIT reviews- save your coin. I'd try a brown shield if you can get one for that lid- it will give you a "warmer" color saturation than what you're getting now, plus add a little contrast by blocking some of the blue end of the spectrum. I've been using the "PinLock" system, mostly for rain- they make universal fit systems and offer several shades of insert. As for your "leak"- try tearing into the side plates that retain your shield- I never messed with an Arai before, but on the Shoeis you can adjust how the shield fits against the rubber gasket by how you tighten the screws in the shield stays. Should be able to do the same on an Arai I would think. [/QUOTE]
