Choose the Right Shield for Track Conditions
Different lighting conditions can dramatically affect visibility behind the wheel. A clear shield is an excellent choice for low-light conditions and night racing, while Semi-Tint and Dark Tint options can help reduce glare during daytime sessions.
For racers who want a more distinctive appearance, Arai's mirrored GPV-R shields are available in several finishes, including Gold, Silver, Blue, Green, and Red.
Keeping multiple shields in your gear bag allows you to change your setup as sunlight, weather, and track conditions change throughout the day.
Important Installation and Care Information
Do not remove the latch from the shield. The latch is part of the shield assembly and should remain installed for proper fit and operation.
Install the shield according to Arai instructions and verify that it opens, closes, and latches securely before using the helmet.
For mirrored shields, Arai recommends cleaning the shield only with warm water and a microfiber towel.
