pretty good jacket, lightweight and good air-flo. But...it smells. Must be something in the materials, I seriously haven't put it in my closet yet for fear of the smell spreading to my other clothes.
No, I do not recommend this product.

 Arai Corsair V Edwards Helmet
Arai Corsair V Edwards Helmet
Arai Corsair V Edwards Replica Helmet The new Corsair V proves again that Arais main focus is the experienced rider who knows what a real helmet should do and have. It doesnt fling fashion at you it advanced the art of building better helmets for riders. Its improvements and innovations reach down to the smallest details. Why Partly obsession. Partly because Arai believes every part of a helmet is interrelated in both design and function. We dont believe in change for the sake of change, fad, or marketing shock value. Features Newly designed shell with Hyper-Ridge around the bottom enhances shell strength while providing a larger bottom opening Larger bottom opening promotes ease of putting on and taking off the helmet Peripheral belting across the forehead area of the shell enhances structural integrity while maintaining flexibility, low weight and shell size Larger upper vent tabs make operating the vents easier even with thick winter gloves New Arai SAI shield with Super AdSis shield system New SAI shield is 5mm longer in each side and provides a wider field of view New SAI shield and base plates are exclusive to Corsair V helmets Latest generation of Dry Cool line has a new silver-grey color Rear mounting straps are slightly re-positioned exclusively to the Corsair V Neckroll is removable and has additional exhaust channels to remove interior heat Cheek pads have the exclusive Emergency Release Tab feature Newly designed side exhaust cowls exhaust heat as well as add lateral stability at speed Enhanced air inlets of the new DF-9 diffuser increase airflow efficiency Brow vents now duct air into the temple area and out the side vents for maximum cooling Exclusive AirWing provides unprecedented aerodynamic performance with 5 distinct positions Snell M2010 Certified
 

i want this helmet, but i have some questions

right off the bat i'm going to need a dark smoke shield. this is a $800+ helmet, whats the deal with the shields? like most helmets it ships with a clear shield, but then you are selling dual panes, inserts, tear offs (i know these are for racing), pinlock inserts...the list goes on.

I'm a Bell Star guy, they make things fairly simple. If I am to get into the Arai game, can someone please explain to me what I need to be equipped with a dark smoke shield for sunny street riding conditions. Thanks.

Icon Field Armor Stryker Elbow Guard Probably, gonna, crash. Three words that Nick Apex uses to describe his riding style. We know hes not alone. With that thought in mind, Icon created the Stryker Elbow Armor. Rider designed chassis, d3o intelligent foam, and CE certification add up to quality blockers for your under-appreciated pointy bits. If youre one of those riders who is never going to crash this product isnt for you. If you ride anywhere near reality than we suggest acquiring a set of Field Armor Stryker elbows. Features EN 1621-1/1997 E TYPE A APPROVED ELBOW IMPACT PROTECTORS BREATHABLE INTELLIGENT IMPACT DISPERSION SYSTEM ARTICULATING INJECTION MOLDED SHELL WITH AIR FLOW CHANNELS VENTED BIOFOAM AND AIRMESH CHASSIS HYDRADRY MOISTURE WICKING LINER COMFORT FIT SLEEVE AND ADJUSTMENT STRAP SECURES ARMOR LOW-PROFILE DESIGN FITS UNDER MOST JACKETS Comes in pairs

Alpinestars Verona Air Jacket in XL or 2XL? - just returned Revit Air Jacket in XL, much to snug. I am 5' 10", 197 lbs, 45" chest.

i'm 5'9 180-190 lbs and a L fits me well, maybe XL for you?
