Hey dudes whats up I just ordered the Icon Variant in Etched Red(i know its not the style for everyone) from riderschoice in etobicoke or riderschoice.ca and was wondering about the shields they have, as i do a lot of night riding so dont want to sacrifice my saftey for a cool looking shield these are the two i was looking at you think either of these will be good at night and whats ypur experiences with coloured/tinted shields?

I have a really dark shield on my helmet and it's not good for riding at night. I have done it a few times but if I know ahead of time that it's going to get dark, then I throw on my clear shield.

+1. I have a mirrored iridium shield, and its really terrible at night. And I always forget to bring my clear visor.

If you go dark tint or iridium make sure you have a clear visor on days where you may be riding home at night.

i run the dark mirror tinted visor, but if im going to be out a while and it may get dark i just keep a pair of clear riding glasses with me and just leave the shield up.

I use a dark tint visor, and, not to beat a dead horse, but if you plan to ride at night, make sure you have a clear visor with you.

Always bring a clear shield or clear Safety Glasses and then flip up your tinted visor

Usually keep my clear shield in my backpack and switch it out if it gets dark before I get home. However, there are occasions where I go through tunnels during the daytime and I can't see shit.

No colored shield here. Clear visor + sunglasses. Sunglasses can be worn off bike, take up next to zero space, and go into pocket when it get's dark out.

I have the Shark S900 Glow which has the flipdown tinted visor which works great.

I have a silver mirror shield on one helmet and a dark tint on my other... I'll never buy a mirror/iredium shield again, on bright days i hated seeing myself... kinda distracting...

about riding at night... both mirror and tint are way too dark to ride safely at night. I keep a pair of yellow tint riding glasses in my backpack now just in case I get caught out after dark...

Hmm I have Shoei RF1000 with the darkest shield they make and I've never had a problem. I do 50% of my riding around 5:30am, no issues. your eyes will adjust.

No tint for me...easily scratches, extra money for bling and really doesn't offer an true advantage for riding.

I like to minimize what I need to bring so I ride using a light smoke. THat way you can still see at night.

 

[DieselDan]

light tinted for me

I use a scorpion exo 1000 helmet that has a tinted flip down visor in it for during the day and a nice clear shield for night riding because I do half my riding during the day and half at night love it! :grouphug2:

I actually just ordered a Bell RS-1 and was thinking about getting that self tinting sheild. Has anyone used one and what do you think of it?

I have it on my Star, Unfortunately I haven't had a chance to play with it since I got it.

I will say though when the Bell sales girl demonstrated it using a flashlight it changed fairly quickly to a good shade. I've been meaning to take it out in the sun this week, but its been raining here the past couple days.

 

[Duvo]

Took the Star out today. It tints up to dark smoke fairly quickly, going back does take a bit so going through tunnels will cause some issues.

I used to have a heavy to mirrored tint and keep a pair of clear glasses to wear if I got caught out at night since in a lot of states it is illegal to ride with a tinted visor. I switched to running a clear visor and wearing sunglasses. I just recently bought a slightly tinted visor, I have not tried it during the day so I do not know what I am going to run now.
