Should I get a 60% tinted iridium visor I've been told nobody will be able to see my face due to its tint or a black visor with 80% tint again nobody will be able to see in , what do you prefer and why?

iridium always Thumbs Up

seriously though, don't you have you're own opinion ?

Iridium are more challenging to keep mint and will eventually deteriorate and look like shite, as well as being hard to see out of (once they begin aging-flaking).
It may take weeks or a year but it WILL happen sooner or later.

A straight tint is a longer term option IMO.

You just need to decide if the look of iridium is worth the cost of getting another when the first one breaks down.

iridium visors look tacky cheap and juvenile IMO.
If i was gonna get a tinted visor it`d have to be black or light smoke.....but i use shades anyway so N/A.

Black, looks good all the time and less prone to accidental scratches.

Iridium is the attention whore choice and chavs on scooters as it makes them think they look cool at McD's .

Black.
Black lid. Black boots. Black jeans. Black jacket. Black gloves.

Black everything (kit wise) looks good in all instances in my opinion. Thumbs Up

I always think an iridum visor makes it look like you're trying a bit too hard.

Understatement for the win.

When it's shiny will you be able to see in the visor or not? anyway to stop this?

clancy · World Chat Champion Joined: 11 Apr 2009 Karma :

no, as you can see in that photo, you cant see in.
you may be able to slightly with some tints, but only from a very close distance. why ?

Whatever you choose, the girls will always see you having a quick look. You just can't look anywhere in a subtle manner when you have a lid on - it makes any movement of the head exagerated.

And in answer to the OPs question, I'd pick black Smile

I'm another one for black. It might be less likely to get noticed by the police if they aren't specifically looking for it also.

I'm another one for the all black kit. You can't get any cooler than street hawk.

Black every time. Irridium is just a coating so scratches easier.

Iridium visors belong in the '90s.

Got both I'll decide what's better
do cops tend to go more at iridiums rather than blacks?

but it does depend on what lid you have and whether it will go with the style.
