The shield can be attached or removed without the need for any tools. The peak utilizes only one screw on each side for removal/installation.Mouth Shutter Allows for more fresh air without the need for the mesh vents as seen on predecessorsWorking in conjunction with the mouth shutter, the inner shutter allows you to adjust the mount of airflow entering the helmetIf the inner and outer shutters are both open, the air will be directed towards your mouthIf the outer shutter is open and the inner closed, the air will be directed towards the shield and help to reduce foggingFront Logo Duct Allows for airflow that is unaffected by the rider's position allows for holes in the forehead area for this vent without compromising the helmet's ability to protect.The optional Pinlock insert for this model has advanced to be effective at resisting fogging, even in extreme conditions, across the entire field of viewSet in a position that makes it ideal for adventure riding, the AR spoiler contributes to reducing fatigue from turbulent air throughout long rides, and works to draw out hot air from the crown areaThe head-liner is equipped with a removable foam layer on both the left and right sides, allowing you to remove 5 mm of foam from each side if desired for fittingThe retractable pull-down spoiler reduces wind intrusion into the bottom of the helmet and helps to pull out hot and humid exhaled air around the sculpted leading edges of the cheek pads. This coordinated ventilation combined with fresh intake from the chin vent, also helps to reduce shield fogging.Speakers can be installed directly to the provided hook and loop panel without the need to remove the cheek pad coversBoth ear pockets are deep and wide, designed to accommodate even the thickest speakers with plenty of room to position them to increase comfortMeets DOT Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 218 (FMVSS 218) Review: Great helmet. Great seller. - This helmet is gorgeous. It seems to be hand painted with metallic flake in the paint, and the colors are vibrant. The helmet fit is exceptional and the Arai brand is legendary. The face shield is easy to take off and change with a dark one if one should choose. I’ve installed a cardo bluetooth headset on my helmet and the integration is awesome- it already has speaker holes in the padding to place your own headset system. The helmet came in one day, shipping was quick and easy. Overall, this helmet has been the bee’s knees. Review: xd5 vs 4 oval fit…not. - This was going to be my 3rd Arai helmet. The xd5 does not fit long oval intermediate like the 4 does…is shorter in length….I love the color scheme and safety and vent features it has….bummed… ## Features - Meets DOT Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 218 (FMVSS 218) - The forehead area of the shell is reinforced by a super fiber belt which is similar to the way in which bands strengthen a barrel - VAS A (Variable Axis System) face shield and side pods - The XD-5 has Arai's INTERMEDIATE OVAL (IO) interior fit shape - The XD-5 offers three distinct configurations depending on rider preference or riding conditions.
