• Innovative ribs on the top edge of the shield improve rigidity when opening and closing
• QR-N base plate system offers quick and efficient shield removal without having to remove the visor
• Improved shield locking system
• Comes equipped with Pinlock EVO fog-resistant system
• Wider and taller field of vision
• Protects from 99% of the sun's damaging UV rays
• 3D injection-molding ensures a distortion-free view throughout entire field of vision

QR-N Base Plate System

• Facilitates quick and efficient shield changes for easy adaption
• Strengthened spring-loaded technology and a dual-lip, dual-layered window beading ensurea dust, wind, and waterproof seal

Goggles Optional

• Roomy eye port accepts goggles when the shield is in the fully open position
