Tinted visor in the night - Solution

[MD]

What century are you folks living in? Still waiting for Y2K?
When you eventually move beyond seeing the wheel and fire as recent inventions and join us in the 21st century you will discover internal sun visors are the way to go!

I know of four riders now with Cabergs;

I can't remember the brand but TSS Motorcycles sell a common brand now that has an internal visor aswell.

Good Idea.

Related question to visors - I heard there is something the visor can be cleaned with so water does not stick to it but I have no clue what to ese or look for. Any sugestions ?

What Jim is meant to say below is use Pledge. Its cheap and easy and work well, even Gliding companies use it on their canopies.

Nikwax Visor proof.

Pledge comes in a spray bottle that uses fingers power to propel the liquid so no nasty propellants anymore!

If you could read you'd see that I said that both Plexus and Pledge come in a squeeze bottle.

They cost more and don't work as well as Visor Proof. You guys can keep using a more expensive, inferior product if you like.

But does Visor Proof work on your furniture?

I think the brand is HJC, and it comes with an internal tinted visor, and a clear normal outer visor....

As an engineer I cant see how they would be as safe if they are the same weight as a standard helmet.

Will keep my dark visor and squinting at night option thanks you

Only the plastic furniture. We have lots of that now thanks to the kids. Vomit doesn't stick anymore.

Huh..??

Is a half visor that slides down behind the clear visor....(Same thing as in Pilots helmets)....How is that unsafe, if it is a design feature of the helmet and meets safety standards and approvals..?

as it is adding something more internal to the helmet between the outer shell and you head where normally there is impact absorbing foam?

If they keep the same amount of foam then it is increasing the size/weight of the helmet, which is acting like a lever on your neck so more weight is bad.....

Good principle is KISS.

Cork helmets with spinner visors for everyone!

So you are basically saying all the Manufacturers of Helmets are stupid and their helmets are unsafe...?


Take a look at the photo in previous post. I don't think they are inferior helmets or heavy, or unsafe

You need to read the Hurt report mate and it's recent update. Then you'd know that most Helmet manufacturers think we're stupid.

got a copy of that report, I may need to get my translator to read it to me....I might not comprehend...I don't have degree's

Drop the humble act and read. You might learn something. It applies equally to your rescue equipment.

Humble......You mistook me.....My sarcasm perhaps....Like so many others on here..

Have Read the report....Interesting facts and figures in it I agree..
Personally would rather wear a helmet like the one pictured, with the option to have the best of both tinted and clear, which has been designed to be that way, meeting all the safety criteria and testings, than to ride with a TINTED visor only and "Squint", or have my vision impaired..

But then that is like so many things on here...MY OWN CHOICE...

So HUMBLE me will post no more on this subject
