Face shields, smoked or mirrored?

[pickle.of.doom]

I definitely prefer a smoked shiled over sunglasses. Nothing blocking any of your vision, nothing sitting on your face... its just a hell of a lot more effective and more comfortable. I usually always have my dk smoke and my clear on me. The new helmet with the drop down shades seem like a pretty sweet idea too though.

I've worn glasses since I was 18. While everyone else looks at the artwork on different helmets, I always have to see if I can fit glasses on my nose and around my ears under the helmet. Shoei helmets have always worked for me. I can change from clear glasses to sunglasses at a traffic light. How long does it take to change shields?

Dependign on the length of the light, I can change a shield at a light too.

I had a problem with my Arai shield fog'n up in the cold up in AK... so I got a Fog city insert... it's one of those photochromatic ones... goes from a light green (like a car window) to a dark blue in about 3-5sec... works great! can't fog the fuck'n thing up no matter how hard I try... and it's dark enough to ride in even the brightest of light... but clear enough to ride at night with.

you can see it on my helmet here

I think you are seeing the helmet graphic thru the shield.

Happened upon this
and thought it was interesting. A two-tone shield like a car windshield.

I only wear a tinted shield. I prefer mirrored...but they scratch. So I have a dark smoke back up...which is on now. I don't even bother carrying the clear shield. Fuck it....I'll stumble home with the dark tint.

I have one for my HJC, Also Icon and I think Scorpion and KBC both offer the same thing.
