(Quick-Release Self-Adjusting) base plate allows for tool-less shield removal and installation. The spring-loaded base plate (U.S. patent pending 11/799935) pulls the shield back into contact with the window beading evenly and ensures a proper seal The CW-1, three-dimensionally curved shield is both wider and taller than the CX-1V it replaces Optional, CWF-1 two-dimensional racing shields with tear-off posts are available Scratch-resistant coating 99.9 protection from harmful UV A and B rays Optional, CW-1 Pinlock prepared shields are available to accommodate Pinlock Fog Free Inserts A pre-set lever can easily lock the shield in place to prevent the shield from opening unexpectedly, as well as prop the shield open to increase airflow Note Mellow Smoke refers to a tint that is lighter than the Light Smoke shield. Note Due to manufacturer restrictions, Shoei products can only be shipped to addresses within the United States
Arrived with a shade lighter than expected, but after popping it on the helmet and cruising in full sun I realized it removes glare and helps overall visual acuity. There are NO artifacts in the visual field...just this nice, sealed invisible tint in front of me.

Quite a nice jacket, although I don't pull all the stops and rate it as a full-five-star perfect example of the genre. The airflow and protection seem ample, and two snaps in each arm help with snugging in the final fit. It is a short and rather snug jacket, but not skin-tight...it's definitely a sport-cut jacket, so it fits (one assumes) as a shorter, tighter, more form-fitting jacket. I ride a cruiser and I like how it doesn't bunch up in athe rear. It could use more interior pockets, since the only pocket inside is mesh and doesn't give one that warm-fuzzy that whatever you zip into it will be safe...but the pocket "works", though the zipper pull is stupid small and difficult to manage with meaty fingers. Stays cool in 85+ heat, so no problem there.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Fit is perfect in the finger length, with just the right amount of loose fabric in the palm and knuckle area to allow for managing controls without binding across the width of the hands. I used the sizing chart and opted for large based on the tape measure. First pair of Spidi. Impressed so far.
