Photochromatic Visor/Inserts/Film

[veasmkii]

I'm a bit tired of driving around in the sun and getting blinded. I was thinking of getting a tinted/darker visor but some of my journeys are after work and it soon gets dark in the summer.

I figured having two visors is just a bit of a pain and a photo-chromatic/reactive visor would be a neat solution.

Anyone know where I can get a photo-chromatic insert for my visor (RV MSX1). Or if a photochromatic film would do.

I figured that if I can't get a visor for this (or one made?) then I could possibly go down the route.

Don't pinlock do a photochromatic insert?

If not you can get an A5 sheet for £22 on eBay.

Nice idea though.

Seems that Reevu don't do a pinlock visor for the MSX1. They do the FSX1.

May have to go the tint film route.

Easy to drill the holes in a non-pinlock visor to make it accept a pinlock insert.

Have you thought of trying sun glasses or when your in the market for a new lid get one with a flip down dark insert there's plenty about in different price ranges

I really like my HJC IS-Max II, but the sun visor doesn't seem dark enough - haven't found anywhere that does replacements yet though.

Cheers - I did look there but thought I'd only seen replacements rather than a variety of tints.

some are darker than others depending on the model of helmet but a lot of fitments are the same just ask what will fit yours

I have a photochromatic visor that I was trialling at the time the factory I was doing some consultancy work for went bust and closed down. I have to say that it was brilliant and would go from clear to 80% in a fraction of a second and back to clear in a similar time. Downside was that it was very expensive, I mean major expensive. It is just a shame that the visor has out lasted the helmet.

There was also difficulties in getting it through BS4110 accreditation which could have happened in time, but it would have added to the cost.

The new visor from AGV is quite good http://www.motorcyclenews.com/news/2015/march/mar6agvisor/ but it does not go black and it needs to be re-charged daily, but none the less it is a step in the right direction.

You can get light reactive pinlocks, but I have no experience of those as I wear a black or clear visor.

I am not aware of any other reactive visors.
