Dark visors

[wiltshire builders]

Never heard of anyone getting pulled for a visor. If they know their stuff they might "do" you if you've been riding like a tosser but highly un-likely.

Got mine from racevisors.co.uk. Get the darkest one arai do then, like you said, carry both. Don't see the point in a slight tint.

Also handy off the bike too!

Having trained a few local traffic cops, and quizzed them about dark visors, I can tell you they're not interested, unless you're stupid enough to wear one at night. Carry a clear one with you and you're unlikely to get nicked.

The problem with sunglasses is you are wearing glass just in front of your eye. Unless they are safety glasses, they're bloody dangerous in an accident.

Legal tinted visors are next to useless.

An easy way to carry a spare visor if you don't have or want to carry a bag - slide it into a sports sock or similar (the sleep socks you get on planes are pretty handy) and stick it under your jacket round your ribs - I carried my clear visor like that all the time we were out on Sunday (a good 5 hours) and never noticed it at all, even when sitting down in the pub [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Aye, gotta make sure you do your jacket up proerly at the bottom though - had a mishap with my HJC's original clear visor that way.

I think I might order myself something nice, backpack wise from Kriega, so I might just tack a visor bag onto it.

Cheers for the replies guys (and gals!), at least it has stimulated a bit of debate [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

I have to wear normal glasses for vision correction so I hope I am ok wearing them under my helmet. I also have a drop down sun visor which is pretty good.

That's unavoidable really Bob! Just keep your visor down at all times. The visor is impact resistant, your glasses aren't. Only takes a stone flicking up...
