It works as intended (exactly as shown in the video) IF you are also not wearing any gloves. Once gloves come into the equation, the F word is required for the visor to open.

I've had my Signet X for two days and so far I absolutely despise this latch system. The original Signet's latch system was so much nicer to use. This overcomplicated latch system guarantees that if I crash and I'm knocked unconscious, a first responder won't be able to figure out how to open the shield to ensure fresh air.

Looks like it would be pretty easy to snip off the 'de-mist post' - then the latch lever will just unlock the shield with one up-click. I'm buying either a Signet-X or a Quantum-X tomorrow and that 'de-mist' feature looks like something I'd want to get rid of right away. Did you snip it off or... did you just get used to it? Thanks

@@looseparts I only wore it a couple of times. I just didn't have much time to ride last year, and it was easier to wear my other helmet than deal with the annoyance. I'm sure you'd get used to it quickly enough, but it's just such a massive step down from their old design.

I couldn’t agree more! The new design is extremely poor! It frustrates the life out of me trying to open, and close it properly whilst riding. The old system worked far better. Based on this design, I’ll never touch another Arai again.

6 months in and I still struggle to open with a set of gloves on. I can honestly say that I wouldn’t recommend any Arai helmet with this seen on it. It’s simply horrific to work it out

The latch on my arai regent x actually prevents visor opening when latch is pulled up; this is opposite of intended design. I can open the visor only when I don’t use the latch, funny. However, the helmet is much more comfortable compared to other brands so it’s still a keeper.

Hey there, I have a DT-X. Could you tell me how to remove the latch? I suspect I need to pry off the small disc in the center of the rotating section, but I'm not sure.

Just bought a regent x broke the latch on the 2nd day. Expected more out of a helmet that cost north of 500$

I’ve been an avid Arai fan for 10 years +, owning a number of helmets. I’ve owned the Chaser X now for 12 months, and I have to say, due to the new visor system, I will never buy another Arai. It’s shite. Absolutely shite. It’s an absolute ball ache to open whilst riding, taking several attempts. It does not close unless you apply excessive pressure, thus, concentration, whilst riding. Sometimes it will not close, and I have to pull over and use two hands to close it. I’ve been back to the Arai ‘approved’ shop where I bought it, only for them to tell me that it’s fine and it is as per design. Absolute crock of shit helmet. £550 - waste of money for such a crucial feature of the helmet to be poorly designed as it is.

My profile v came with a clear visor and I felt the same. I bought the dark one and in the pack there was a silicone lube to put around the edges. I thought it was a gimmick but I said whyh not if they supply it. made a huuuuge difference to how to locks and opens. If you didn't already sell your lid, I'd suggest giving the 2 pound lube a try.

Simply pull the visor closed and it will find its way over the post and into the latch. I have a brand new Corsair X Hayden 7 that will not do that. When closing the visor it tries to go over the entire latch assembly. It won’t fall “in”. What’s wrong?

I have the exact same problem with my Arai Rapide Neo. I've tried re-aligning twice, no dice; workaround is when I try to close it, I lift the latch to its unlock position so the shield will fall into the latch, then I push it down to lock. It's not as seamless or "automatic" as we can see in the videos.

WHY oh why couldn't you just put something larger on the visor for us to grab to open the d*mn visor? Like even just a slightly larger tab? The de-mist bit is nice (though not truly enough to stay fog free), but the visor remains nearly un-openable with gloves on without using two hands. I spent $1000 CAD on a helmet I can barely open. If there were literally ANY other options on the market that fit my oval head, I surely would have went with that over my Signet-X because of the visor and lack of any other extra features (ie drop down internal sun visor etc).

such a braindead design. I had to file down that second catch for the “de-mist” feature because otherwise it’s literally impossible to open the visor with gloves on. $1k helmet that you can’t even open the visor when you’re all fogged up and can’t see
