    I scored a tinted visor for my helmet when hubby had an off and replaced his helmet (we had the same type) with a different sort. :

    Haven't used it yet though....

    My regular specs (which I have to wear) have photochromic lenses, so no problem with sunnies. The Arai helmet has a bit more of an "eyebrow" than did the Shoei and this helps shade the eyes as well.
    Have to agree re the polarising lenses thing. Tried mine (prescription) with the visor and yersss, they did make the world look a little bizarre.....

    For me I could never go back to sunnies after having a tinted visor. Plus it looks way cooler

    Whats wrong with polarised sunnies?
    I have script polarised sunnies and i think they are great! except for riding through low lit tunnels and the fact I can see strange formations in car glass

    Buy a new HJC FS-10 helmet. They have an inbuilt internal sunvisor that comes out of the helmet shell under the existing visor with a quick release when things go dark on ya or you are in heavy shade.
    Awesome idea and works just great

    Summer with us, lots of sun strike round my way. I have a pair of sunnys that I can wear with my lid but they steam up real quick in the heat.

    Any ideas for a make / model of sunnys that allow a bit of air flow when worn with a lid.

    Thanks for any and every help with this my lovelies.......

    I find with my new helmet, my glasses dont fog up anymore. I have those air venty thingies on the forehead and around the chin of me helmet, where as before, my old helmet had none and had a domed visor. That used to fog up all the time.

    I have a pair of those. Designed for skydiving so a bit over the top if worn under a visor. If I'm using them around town on the moped at this time of year, I remove the visor.

    They'd be the most expensive sunnies I ever bought, and I have a pair of RayBans at work. The RBs are no good under a helmet they keep sliding down my nose...

    Mine react with my visor and form those strange formations on the visor. Wouldn't be so bad except each eye gets a different pattern. Totally stuffs my depth perception.

    Tried a few but never found a pair of sunnies that I could wear under the helmet...
    Just use a silver or gold visor....keep it down all the time so those blonde chicks cant see the guy behind it is 64 years old....

    I ride all the time with a pair of tinted safety glasses under the visor, slide them away from your face a bit prevents fogging. I like to ride with the visor up under about 90km, but still got eye protection with the safety's on.

    I also have an FS-10. Great concept, but I find there is some visual distortion with both visors down. IMHO I don't think the internal visor is as optically correct as the DD sunnies I used to wear with my old lid. I have not tried similar lids by other manufacturers like Nolan and Schuberth ...and thats my 10 cents
