I bought this for my wife, she has been very happy with this product. She rides quite a bit during dusk, and when leaving the house in it for the first time the vest was bright, but when she stepped outside I was very surprised of how bright this product became with only the light of dusk. She has told me that when approached by vehicle's they seem to back off, not crowding her. She has been after me to buy one for my self, which I will do so soon.
Yes, I recommend this product.

 Arai Profile Diamond Helmet
Arai Profile Diamond Helmet
Arai Profile Diamond Helmet The Profile's unique look isn't for cosmetics. It has a distinct purpose rooted in the Arai company's philosophy and 50-year obsession with change for the sake of improvement, not vanity. For example, the Profile's distinctive Hyper-Ridge reinforcement band along the bottom of the outer shell is for reinforcement and added shell strength, including the area around the lower rear exhaust vents. The overall helmet shape represents Arai's newest organic shaping concept narrower, sleeker, more aerodynamic instead of round and bulbous. Its purpose is to fit the rider's head shape better, to feel more 'calm' in the wind, even when the rider turns his or her head while riding. For all of our science and pursuit of 'perfect protection', Arai's mission is to make riders more comfortable and happy when they're riding. To make them forget they are even wearing a helmet. Long-oval fit Brow Vent Faceshield Ventilation System provides cooling air in upper face area without holesin critical forehead area of the shell or in the impact-absorbing liner material Optically-correct pre-formed faceshieldsbetter vision, UV ray protection with less distortion De-Mist Lock faceshield tab pushes forward to open the shield slightlyhelps clear fogging Removable Breathguardreduces fogging by deflecting breath away from faceshield CLC (Complex Laminate Construction) shellfiberglass composite is stronger andlighterallows use of softer, less-dense liner materials inside for increased rider comfort FFS (FreeFlow System)reduces wind turbulence while increasing the exhaust of hot airfrom the facial area Dual Intake/Dual Exhaust Ventilationdual TDF-2 top intake vents and DDL-3bridged exhaust vents designed to draw significant volume of air from helmet interior Multiple-Foam Interiors for comfort Rear Exhaust Channel and Vent adds a racy look while drawing hot air from helmet interior Fully removable liner and cheek pads Enhanced pull down chin spoiler, increases exhaust of hot breath to minimize shield fogging Meets or exceeds Snell M2010 and D.O.T. standards

I am very pleased with this helmet. This was a first time Arai purchase for me. The quality of this helmet is superb. However I did find that on cold days I had a little problem with fogging. After lowering my GL1800 windscreen allowing a little more air to hit the helmet the fogging cleared.
Yes, I recommend this product.

wired mike version of the set

hi, do you have the wired mike version of this set? I have an arai profile and it doesn't leave much room especially since I have a mike in there from my helmet camera. also do you know which software version this is?
I do not have a wired mike version. Although I have been considering it, there is 0 clearance between the helmet and mouth due to the foam that is around the mike. I have considered removing the foam cover from the mike to increase clearance, but have not tried this yet. I do not know what software verion I have. I would have liked to make sure that it was updated, but I have a Mac and I have found that the G4 does not have software upgrades thru Mac as of yet, the upadates are only available thru pc's. I would like to see this corrected in the near future.
