Have tinted visors been banned?

I own a LS2 Delta flip helmet. It is the greatest as it has an inbuilt Sunvisor that just flips down with the flick of a switch.

Not too bad for $270 either.

As MD has already said, get with the times people.
We both have the Cayberg V2 lids with internal visor.
Best thing I ever done purchasing one of them.
At the time, I had to import mine from the UK but apparently there is someone in NZ now selling them.

Check them out..... http://www.cabergv2.com/V2gallery2.asp

More a case of forgetting that I had the tinted visor on.

I have both a clear and a tinted visor for my AGV TiTech. I always have a little sport bag on my bike when I ride, plenty of room for the visor not in use, and takes about 15 seconds to switch. I am really happy with the dark visor, it is full tint and looks black from the outside. Works for me, anyway.

Anyone tried these before?
Short lifespan, although could be worth it

Edit: That website seems to be compromised, I keep getting Trojan alerts.

I have been using Fog City hyperoptik visor inserts for years. They're bloody good! Tint to quite a dark cobalt blue in the sunlight, and are virtually clear in poor light. They cost a hundy, and are a bit of a pain in the arse to fit to the visor.... but worth it IMHO

With the amount of bugs out that night I thought I was likely to lose an eye.

+1. Even worse when the rain starts to fall. Talk about sting.

That's good feedback from someone who uses one. I thought I'd google it and came across the webbikeworld review which completely trashes it. How do you find the blue tint to look through?

Blue tint is really good!
I like not having to piss around changing visors etc.
My original hyperoptik stick on gave up the ghost after 6 odd years (wouldn't tint anymore).
Just make sure you VERY carefully install them on your visors.
I recommend them
