Quote:Why not buy a tinted visor?
I have one - took it off a few months back when doing a night ride and haven't put it back on yet (I assumed wouldn't need it again until the summer)...
But, the issue was the top (inch or so)... Car drivers have clear screens (as we know) but all of them dropped the little sun visor over their heads to stop the glare. I could do this by holding my hand up just above my eyes; hence the idea: an all over tinted visor for bright/summer days, but at other times a tinted strip along the top of a clear visor.
It seemed so obvious at the time (when I could barely see) that I was struggling to understand why this isn't built into all visors (there may be an excellent reason). I really don't need a great and un-tainted view of the sky over my head, the sun and clouds. And besides, this stuff can still be seen through easily enough.
NB. This could be a helmet style issue, I suppose. My shoei is perhaps a sportier helmet than I need, and may be designed for leaning forward and looking through the top of the visor rather than sitting up looking through the bottom/middle.
I'll try it and see what happens.
Yeah, I've done the IAM. And yeah, I recommend it (any so-called 'advanced training' come to that; not just IAM): A low cost training course based on the system used by the police, which is largely common sense once pointed out, making one smoother, quicker and safer. What's not to like? And why would one not want to tell others? :hide:
