Hi

I have had tinted visors, and my issue is that they need to be removed or changed for night time riding.

I just love the look of a lid thats totally solid and you can't see my face. I don't actually need the visor to dim light.

In light of that, then, is there a visor or a film that i can buy which will look black or mirror to the outside world, but allow me to see outside clearly.

I was told that because reflective film works by reflective light, that i wont be able to see anything come night time.

The film reflects light so it will always be dimmer.

Try and get a pin lock one, so you can simply remove it for night time riding. Have a look at my how to thread above yours and you will see what I have done.

Here is the link:

Your standard clear visor cuts light tranmission by around 20%

So you can imagine the loss of transmitted light by a reflective film.

I use one of these to prevent fogging and to use as sunglasses. Works quite well - although only reflective in sunlight.
