The thing I wasn't aware of is the noise when a gold/silver/iridium visor gets struck, it's so different to a clear/tinted.

Any kind of reflective visor is a waste IMO. I was very careful with mine and just from normal riding it was scratched and worn off in less than 2 month.

I gave up on anything other than clear visor plus sunglasses. Although sometimes when you pull off for a stretch you lose your sunglasses forever and ride home blind.

ilkhan posted:$70 for a dark visor... Or $170 for a transition visor... Get the transition. Seriously. I've got a clear and dark visor and wish I'd just bought the transition. You just throw the pinlock that came with the helmet into the new visor, too.

Hello, I would like to buy this $600 dollar helmet. Also, I am going to mash in the EPS liner when I get home so it better fits my head.

My scorpion reflective visor was fine on the outside, save for a few scrapes from me hitting my head on doorways. The inside of it though very rapidly went to poo poo. It looked like I took steel wool to it. I don't know what the hell happened, I'm fairly positive it was a manufacturing defect.

Yeah, I'm not paying transition visor prices for something that is a wear item and can be taken out by a frequent rock. I hate it enough when a $30 visor get's dinged, let alone one that costs $170.

I wish it were darker and being exposed means it gets filthy. So then you have two layers of dirty visor, which is not ideal. (I know I should just clean them more but this is Seattle and it rains forever and everything is dirty)

Weird, my Arais have had dark smoke, and unless it's 6:30am I don't even bother swapping in the clear visor. I think personal eye condition plays a big factor.

Maybe you are an owl, or something. edit: I do miss how awesome a full mirrored visor was. Looked great, and intimidates everyone. Coydog fucked around with this message at 02:14 on Mar 31, 2017 |

I got my eyes lasered about 8 years ago for around $3500. I was blind as a bat and had/have a slight astigmatism. Best money I've ever spent. You can take money out of your paycheck pre-tax to put it in a flex spending healthcare account and use that to pay for lasik. That may make it a bit more affordable.

I have a white helmet and a gold mirrored visor and it looks exactly as baller as you think. this would be my ideal  but what i got is pretty close, at least until they make helmets with a full bubble shield  e: and yeah it has a couple of scratches on it but nothing really serious or anything noticeable from inside and I've had it over a year. Get the real (expensive) deal, not a knockoff, and the coating is much more durable

Not as dark as you'd think. Light-to-medium smoke, with a noticeable blue tone (because it selectively reflects away the yellow light, you see).

Blech, no thanks. Not my colour, blue does my nut in. I was pleasantly surprised to find the internal sun visor on the Neotec has a very slight brown cast to it. Not the deep sepia of my favourite shades, but enough to notice that it's definitely not blue or straight black/grey.
