Topic: Helmet visors

Anyone running a tinted visor (amber, smoke, mirror etc etc) and if so any general consensus on what's good or bad?

Thanks

Re: Helmet visors

I run with my visor cracked to get air so I end up wearing sunglasses under anyway.

Re: Helmet visors

If you're OK with swapping the visor, a tinted one might be nice—on sunny days I usually wear sunglasses under mine.

As mentioned above, I also crack mine (one click up) to get some airflow for comfort and to keep from fogging up.  I should probably get my helmet ventilation figured out.

I believe you can also find tinded tearoffs.  That way if the sun goes down, you can revert to clear.
