    For $50 you can get a set of Polarising sunglasses.

    That's what I would get. They're great for cutting down on glare.

    In the dark universe it does. In the light, it is a set of scales.
    A thought occurred to me re these visor tints...on a bright, sunny day, when you get to the socialising place, you might need sunnies - so you will have to carry them anyway.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    I agree better just to buy one to stop fog, works wonders and it does cut the glare out slighty

    Light sensitive glasses take care of that for me... I need UV blocking visors with a tint or clear visors.

    Otherwise I get both the tinting glasses and the dark visor. It's a dark world...

    Does it have a UV filter like tinted visors and sunnies? Because using a tinted visor without a UV filter will make your pupils dialate (cos they think it's dark), then the UV light will scorchify your retina's.

    I know someone who permanently damaged their eyesight by washing a car on a bright sunny day with no sunnies on - they were blind for a couple of days then their vision slowly returned, but now they have to wear glasses and can't wear contacts. Not cool.
    You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will be quoted out of context, then used against you.

    If your expecting them to act as light sensitive Polaroid lens you will be disappointed, they are basically just standard visor tints with hefty price tag, I only paid $35 for mine.
    Can't remember the brand name but yeah, a stick on inset to the inside of your visor... tints a little, not a lot, but enough to save the retinas... Paid $39.95 from memory 2-3 years ago, still fine.

    Brilliant at stopping the fogging up on cold mornings from your breath....

    Ive just punted 50 slides and will report in due course. I wear glasses and have a clear visor and a tinted visor. My prescription sunglasses dont work that well looking thru a clear visor because they are polarised and you see what looks like water everywhere. If this stuff works it will be perfect for me.

    I have a spare clear visor so in a spirit of scientific endeavour, I shall test and reveal my findings to the class.

    Ah, sounds like I didn't do ENOUGH research.
    Doesn't really matter, it's only 50$.
    That coulda got me a couple visors, but meh.

    Sunglasses fuxzor with my head, can only wear them for a couple minutes before I get an intense pressure headache.

    By the sounds of it, I wont be expecting much in terms of light reduction, but as long as it takes off some of the edge, it's done summink.

    Wonder how nighttime and headlights will mix

    Edit.
    Goddamn.
    I got pretty ripped off.

    Extra fifteen dorrah.
