Sunnys in your lid

[Tank]

I picked up a tinted visor for the Shark Helmet the other day.

WOW! What a difference. Its not like wearing sunnies under a visor - your vision is far better.

Well worth the $$$ - and as others have said just carry the clear in a tank bag / back pack / givi box etc

I use a pair of the $2.00 shop specials, no problems... Slide them down your nose a bit if they fog up. There is stuff called FOG OFF, made for visors (fair dinkum)... try it.

So true, slide them down your nose for a few seconds with the visor up. In addition you can try an antifog solution. I use Kla-pilot, it is expensive and tricky to get hold of but one tube will last 8-10 years of everyday commuting for visor and sunnies/glasses. You only have to apply every 3-4 weeks from my extensive testing over the last 20+ yrs (I'm on my second tube)
But one of the lids with the fold down shade is hard to beat. No more welts behind the ears after a few days on the road, no more dark tunnels stuck with sunnies on. I bought a Schuberth R1 with this feature and cannot fathom going back to trying to get sunnies inside my lid past the padding and my unruly mop.

I got prescription sunnies a few months ago and yeah you definately get a "different" view of things with polarised lenses!

My optometrist recommended brown lenses as brown filters out blue light and are ok in low light, whereas gray/black lenses just make everything darker and aren't good in low light. He sent me outside on a greyish day with a pair of each and the difference was surprising. I got brown and glad I did as he was dead right. I don't have to stop and change to normal glasses when it starts to get darker or cloudy, or if I pop inside or to the supermarket etc I can still see fine.

So I highly recommend brown lenses over gray any day.

Tinted visors are fine until you get caught out unexpectedly on a freezing cold night, or in a freezing morning fog.

I gave up wearing the effing things thirty years ago.

For some strange reason I currently have one on order for my AGV but only because that particular helmet just *has* to have a tinted visor.
If I get caught out in either of the above-noted situations I'll have no bugger to blame but myself....

Otherwise I use Sunblockers (Google is your friend.)

Thanks to all of you guys for your help with this.

I'll try some of the suggsted sunnys but the tinted visor may be the way to go.

Thanks again, very much appreciated...

addidas sunnies with the vents at the top, just broke them the other day, lasted ages they did.

now im on some $25 POS polarised petrol station sunnies that keep clogging up in the corners.

oh and they make the world look like an acid trip through my visor too.

I second on the adidas, mine are the frameless multisport type (with a frame only round the top) and they are the sh1t inside a helmet. Use rainguard on them and they won't fog.
