Great Product
This product is a fantastic find! It's reasonably priced, making it accessible for most budgets without compromising on quality. The product is exactly as described, and its usefulness cannot be overstated. I've found it to be incredibly practical and efficient in meeting my needs. The attention to detail is impressive, and the performance is on par with more expensive alternatives. If you're looking for something reliable, well-made, and at a fair price point, this is the perfect choice. Highly recommended!

Nice to have a replacement option, but is it worth the price?
I'm a sucker for a deal and needed a replacement tinted visor for my very pricey Arai Corsair X. Everyone looking at these visors needs to understand they are not made by Arai and are an aftermarket replacement copy. At less than half the cost compared to some of the originals and readily available, though, I figured I'd give them a shot. I ended up buying three different kinds, the silver mirror, revo gold mirror and the dark smoke. I bought them on my own dime and this review is my personal opinion from using all 3 visors for at least a week each. Overall build quality is decent, but not quite as good as Arai. The optics are not quite as perfect as OE, and you can ever so slightly discern a slight variation, this isn't an issue when riding though. The vent tabs vary in resistance between all three visors, though they will stay open or shut once there. Fit is acceptable and will attach and remove from my Corsair X at the same level of effort as OE visors. All three visors look great from the outside. The silver mirror can only be used on a clear sunny day without shade and in direct sunlight. Otherwise it is just too dark! It gets to the point where I lose some detail of the road as it's too tinted. If I ride in any kind of shade from trees, for example, it can get distracting and making out details on my dash isn't as intuitive as it should be. Forget about early morning, dusk or inclement weather riding with this visor. I cannot think of a good situation to use the revo gold mirror. Okay, it looks kinda cool externally, but functionally I'm not sure what the best use case is. It has an odd effect of "lightening" things around me, which is nice in cloudy or low light situations. Unfortunately, whatever tint application is used creates a nice reflection of my face inside the visor. I rode at dusk with the sun beginning to set using this visor and it was downright annoying/dangerous not being able to see the road clearly through the reflection of my nose and glasses. I rode with it at night and it was okay at best, still better to go with a clear visor in my opinion. Finally, I tried the dark smoke visor. The tint level is very similar to the VAS-V dark smoke. If I had to use one visor this would be it. Tints things enough to be useable in various lighting conditions without being a distraction. The only drawback compared to OE is the type of tint used. It's like the difference from buying the cheapo generic sunglasses on the stand at a Walmart for $10 versus the kind of tint used on a pair of $200 Ray-bans. I don't know how to qualify that scientifically, but OE is just better. And once you've used it for a while it's noticeable when you change. End of the day these are decent enough replacements that are cheaper for a reason. But they're actually in stock so you have to weigh your priorities.

Very close, but not quite perfect
Purchased for Contour-X. Fits, works, and probably 95% of OEM. Fit isn't quite perfect and the brow vents are a little more fiddly and stiff than OEM. If really trying to save a buck, it works. If you can find OEM Arai in stock (I couldn't at the time, which is why I tried this), and money isn't tight, I'd advise going Arai. Doesn't seem to take wear and tear as readily as OEM Arai either. Not terrible by any stretch, but after ~1k miles of daily use it seems a little more scuffed than I'd typically expect.

Good quality clear then tinted shield
Good quality, clarity is excellent, darkens quickly in sunlight in an unobtrusive manner cold does slow the response, lightens in the dark but not instantly. Excellent substitute for normal clear then changing to tinted then stopping to change back routine

Fits and works perfectly on Arai Corsair-X
I was skeptical about buying an off brand face shield, but this fits just as well as the one that came with my helmet. It’s easy to swap out, it opens and closes just as easily as the original, the tint is just right for a sunny or even partly sunny day—not too dark. And it looks nice!

Poor fitment, horrible glare on the Revo lenses
The REVO shields are tinted yellow on the inside for “high contrast and visibility”, and the outside is tinted in a mirrored color. I got the REVO Blue, which looks okay in natural light, but there is no darkening tint so the sun is very bright, and any light that comes through will show as a bright reflection inside the lens. Makes it hard to see through during the day. It fits very tight, didnt seal air, and was difficult to open
