Face shields, smoked or mirrored?
 
I'm gonna order my EXO 700 this day of days, and i'm getting a sunny day visor with it, but torn between a silver mirrored lens or smoked lens...

comments?

I have clear, dark smoke and iridium. (and clear anti-fog). While iridium/mirrored looks really good with some helmets, I think dark smoke offers better shading, and isn't as easy to scratch as mirrored is. So if you must choose one or the other, I'd say go dark smoke.

I prefer the mirrored above anything else, but Nee's right, they are more prone to scratching. I still get them, I just have to be a lil more careful with it.

I love the mirrored look, but i'm also prone to scratching the lens... maybe i'll just have to actually take care of this lid...

Not handy. I had the gold iridium on my Icon; for the new Arai, I've got clear and (very) dark smoke. I looooove that dark smoke.

My iridium was great for a while, but over time it just started to lose the mirrored coating and got kinda splotchy looking (which was more obvious from the inside looking out).

I like smoked myself.
I have never had good luck with the mirrored ones, they seem to bother my eyes. (I have weird eyes)
I see my own reflection inside the helmet.:td:
Oh, and I tried it for my Arai and Shoei!

Replacement visors ain't cheap - take care of it. :D

I have dark smoke and love it.

Dark smoked for me...I just like them better and I worry less about scratches.

Me and the wife getting ready to head out...
