Do you ride with a clear visor or not?

CrazyKell · 10-20-2009, 01:43 PM

I've always ridden with a clear visor but after looking at my last set of trackday pics I think I'm going to switch to a mirrored visor. It was weird seeing the expressions on my face and my chubby cheeks.

Do you ride with a clear visor?

Do you ride with a smoked or mirrored visor?

Are there any other options?

both my lids have clear

Clear at night.

Smoked during the day.

I ride with a clear visor because I don't want to pay for a tinted one for my new lid yet. Wear glasses inside it if I really need to block light.

Dark smoke. I will not ride with sunglasses after seeing someone break their nose by having a get off and the helmet pressing his sunglasses thru the bridge of his nose.

Nope. No clear for me unless it's night time.

I bought a mirrored visor for the same reason

It's like the O face, almost everyone looks like a retard at the turnin point

I have a 2nd helmet that has a clear visor that I grab if I'm going to be riding at night.

Smoked visor all the time........Sunglasses suck, because they often make reflections on the back of the visor.

Mirrored visors suck as well, because they are usually not as dark as a good dark smoke visor, and they also have optical defects or haze marks.....Even the supposedly "best" ones like Arai.

Whoa seriously?

I ride with sunglasses all the time but that freaks me out. Never heard of that happening.

I have always ridden with clear and sunglasses. Next year I'm going to smoked/mirrored unless it's dark out.

On the track I always wear a smoked visor

Smoked visor and sunglasses during the day and clear visor and clear glasses at night.

I like wearing shades/clear glasses under my visor for when I may flip up the visor while moving to keep the wind out of my eyes so it doesn't dry my contacts as much...plus keeps from catching a bug in the eye too if I flip the visor up.
