Product Information
Full details
The Arai VAS-V Pro Shade System is an essential upgrade for adult riders using Arai helmets with the VAS-V visor mounting mechanism. This external sun visor system provides immediate, adjustable shade to combat sun glare without requiring the wearer to change out their primary face shield. While it offers unparalleled convenience and protection, it adds a slight profile to the front of the helmet that requires a brief adjustment period regarding wind noise and aerodynamics.

FAQs
Does this replace my primary visor?
No, this is an external accessory that mounts on top of your existing VAS-V visor.
Can I use this on a non-VAS-V Arai helmet?
No, this system is specifically designed for the VAS-V mounting model and will not fit older Arai hinge systems.
Is it legal to use the Pro Shade at night?
The system is designed to be flipped up when not in use. You should always ensure you have a clear field of vision for night riding.
Will this affect my peripheral vision?
When the shade is in the raised position, it sits above the main field of view and has minimal impact on vision.
Is the shade replaceable if it gets scratched?
Yes, replacement shades are generally available through authorized Arai distributors.
Troubleshooting
Shade feels loose and won't stay down
Check the pivot tension screws on the side of the assembly and tighten them gently to increase friction.
Difficulty installing onto the visor
Ensure your helmet model is explicitly marked as VAS-V compatible. Verify that all original side covers are correctly seated.
Gritty noise when flipping the shade
Rinse the pivot points with clean water and ensure no debris is trapped in the hinge mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This system is strictly compatible with helmets utilizing the Arai VAS-V visor mounting platform. Installation involves attaching the shade assembly to your existing shield, ensuring the pivot points are correctly seated. To maintain the system, clean the shade surface with mild soapy water and a soft microfiber cloth; avoid harsh solvents that could cloud the polycarbonate finish. Regularly check the pivot tension to ensure the shade stays in your desired position. Because the shade is external, keep the pivot mechanisms free of road grime or grit to ensure smooth, long-term operation.
