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.....![]()

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![]()

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...

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
