An excellent example of Arai’s vision on protection and safety is the development of the PSS, the Pro Shade System. A clever drop-down sunvisor, combined with well known, wide vision Max Vision visor with optional Pinlock inlay lens. Watch the video below to see the best way to assemble the system!

The Pro Shade is an all-weather solution against sun glare, fogging and misting. The sun visor flips up and down with a flick of the hand and is fixed in position.

 A much asked question is however, why Arai did not use a build in sun visor. There are three good reasons not to use a build in sun visor:

  • No reduction in thickness of the EPS inner shell is needed. When the visor is build in, the space for it is created by making the EPS liner thinner.
  • No weakening of the outer shell. The air space needed for a build in visor and the lack of bonding between the outer shell and the inner EPS liner will weaken the outer shell.
  • No operating mechanism needed. The operating system will also need space that is not available for the EPS liner any more. Furthermore it often contains metal parts within the EPS liner that could be dangerous in case of impacts.
