    Help me find this - Arai chin-cover-thing.

    A buddy of mine has a Scorpion helmet, and he picked up this little piece of neoprene style fabric that attaches to the underside of the chin area of his helmet to reduce wind noise.

    I can't figure out what the hell it's called, or where I can get one that fits my Arai, but every time I remember to look, I also remember how well it cut wind noise and how much I want one.

    Anyone know what the hell I'm talking about, and possibly where to get one?

    Attached is a craptastic photoshop of where it'd go.

    Which model Arai helmet do you have?

    some helmet manufacturers call it a chin curtain

    Yes! Thank you! This is exactly what I'm looking for, I just don't know if they're universal or helmet-specific.

    Edit: A quick Google shopping looks like they're helmet specific, and I don't see any for Arai.

    Read you directions.
    It is built into your helmet.
    Pull down on the front once it is on.

    Oh you mean more than what it comes with.
    Not an Arai part.

    The one built into my helmet is about 1/4" long. I actually had to look to see if it was even there, heh.

    You can pull it down 3 clicks while it is on e your head and it does help a little.

    There's no click or anything on mine - it's just a piece of fabric.

    Pardon crappy cell pic.

    Hah, I actually had that copied to the clipboard to link in this thread. That thing looks awesome for colder weather, but in the summertime I think it'd turn your helmet into a crock pot for your mug. I'll probably pick one of the QR's up for spring though.

    Yes, unfortunately the Vector model doesn't have the pull out chin curtain.
