Some visor questions

**FROSTY:Me** · 13th April 2007, 19:47

I dont like em--they darn well scratch too easily.I prefer a dark tint visor and a clear visor
Hey the pomgollians have the best idea--its a bumbag shaped for visors I think its even padded so they dont get scratched

Sorry Blackbird, I didn't notice that it was NikWax Visor Proof. That's great; I'm heading over Boyd way tomorrow (:

Kathmandu stock other Nikwax products so may be able to get the visor item.

I'm with Hitcher. Clear visor and sun glasses. I glued a piece of wiper to my glove finger and its sweet as well it doesn't scratch the visor.
At night a scratched visor in the rain sux's the big kahuna

I have a mirrored visor and hate the thing, scratch to easily and i get a lot of my own reflection back at me in bright sun.(i have an ugly nose to stare at ).
Will try a lighter smoked one next.
I wear prescription glasses so this may make reflection inside helmet worse?

Don't have any of those problems and I wear specs too. What make is your visor? I have a Shoei and it's given no problems at all in terms of scratching. I always use a damp microfibre cloth to minimise scratching on all my visors - a good investment.

Snap!!! We must be TWINS!!! ha!

I find my mirror tint visor great in the sunlight however like others say they can be a real pain when the light dims, unless you are in a well lit suburban area, country riding no way too hard to see the wildlife that keeps making suicidal runs across you. they seem real prone to scratching and this causes problems with glare.
Nixwax or pledge work well as long as you keep a good coat of either on there.
