sun glare with helmet

[keith565]

hi guys.

not sure if i'm in the right place.

i have a helmet but it has no sun protection, tint etc. any ideas what i can do to reduce glare.

You can wear sunglasses or fit a tinted visor. If you do go the tinted visor route though make sure you only using during daylight hours as they're not allowed once the sun goes down This rule also applies to wearing sunglasses after dark I believe.

I wear Sunglasses.

A lot of people dont agree with wearing sunglasses but it works for me.

Cant remember the make of them but they are made to some Bike spec something or other.

I find them easier to carry under the seat when i'm not using them rather than carrying a spare visor.

i've got a yellow insert for my visor. i find it cuts out glare, sharpens everything up and is very good in cloudy, grey conditions too. which is what it's meant for as far as i can remember

Sunglasses seem a good option and like TC said, can always put em under your seat!

I have a dark visor, tried sunglasses before but they were a pain!

[j4ff]

Sunglasses you will loose some peripheral vision.

Tinted visor is the best option.

Tinted insert like fog city.

Light reactable inserts Hyper optiks.

Pretty much, word for word, what I was gonna say

Them hyperoptiks are very good Just don't ask Ratser, cos his kept falling out I have never had problems myself though!

[keith565]

thanks guys, i'll have a look for the hyperoptiks. i tried sunglasses, but with the cold, they steam up something rotten.

i have always stuck to a tinted visor works for me never had any problems.. i have a bandit helmet and nver had problems with steaming up brillant helmet just a little costly

Tinted visor for me. I don't ride in the dark so i don't have to think about switching it over.

I wear glasses so sunglasses are no good unless i wear contacts (which i don't want to) or buy some prescription sunglasses (which i don't want to do either). I tried those cheap stick on dark visor inserts but didn't like them.

i have just bought a new helmet that comes with a tinted visor in side that comes down with the push of a button behind the standered clear visor and then returns the same way similer to what pilots have in side there helmets very cool lol

[JimiB]

same as wilko here. caberg .

but i think the yellow tinted safety glasses would be good .

uv protection . ( on some of them ) plus enhances light at night time. At the same time as reducing glare! Tailor suited if you ask me.
