Visor Scratched, Need Suggestions :P

[iMark]

So my visor has somehow gained a huge scratch in it which is beginning to annoy me, so I'm going to order a new visor just I'm stuck for which one to go for.

Box FZ-1 Visors

I was thinking about the Gold or Blue Iridium, but I think the Blue would be overkill since the helmet is already blue.

On that note, the plain "iridium" the pictures are deceptive, could someone explain a little better at what it looks like without the silly rainbow effects, or is that it?

Anybody have any suggestion?

Maybe the Silver Mirror?

If you buy one from there it will be road legal, the tint is something like 15%, you can see the tint somewhat, but you can virtually see straight through the visor.

Oh I know they'll be road legal it's just a choice between what colour suits the helmet the most.

The tint is translucent enough on the pictures but will appear darker when on the actual helmet thou so it wont be as see-through... I think O.o

This is what a road legal rainbow visor looks like, looks deep enough with the dark background, but put your face inside the helmet and your skin reflects a lot of light, it's the equivalent of wearing a clear visor.

But they are better than the full tint visors in some respects, since you don't have to worry about the sun going down, you can still use them in the pitch black (that's how clear they are).

If you look around the edges of the picture below, you can see straight through and see the padding inside the helmet.

ah, that's a brilliant picture showing the "plain" iridium one So it is just like a rainbow hmm

I'm not too fussed about it being 100% Reflective on the outside like a mirror, like other iridium visors are, I just want something other than a plain visor


Still suggestions on what colour Iridium would suit my helmet better, or if I should take the Silver Mirror one would be nice

would you like someone to tell you how many fingers to use on your missus?
or maybe what brand of toilet paper to wipe your arse with? hell, maybe you'd like someone to do it for you??


Seriously, this is a personal choice thing. buy what YOU like. why does everyone seem to need the opinions of people on the internet to decide what colour helmet/visor/bike/underpants to go for these days?

Be an individual FFS!

Believe it or not, T cut will get the scratch out of your clear visor.

Im sorry if that was a but harsh, just seems like people can no longer decide what time to take a shit without the opinions of people they dont even know!

Any visor without a scratch is going to be better than the current one.

Seeing as your so intent on other peoples opinions, heres mine.

all blue will look shit. iridium will quite probably look shit, gold will quite probably look shit. clear or tinted will be just fine.

illegal black tinted visor and a clear visor.

All iridiums look horrible imo. Straight off of an SRAD in the 90s.

(Don't get me wrong, I love SRADs and want one badly. Just not a fan of the iridium screens every second one seems to have)

I've got a black one, was in a similar situation. Wouldn't mind a mirror to compare to.

Personally I find them better to ride in, removes all the glare from stuff and if you get a proper one it's only like wearing a weak pair of sunglasses.

I'd go for black or silver

Considering you can currently get box helmets for less than 30 quid, I doubt I would spend that on a visor for one.

the helmet i have at the moment is "XS 540" meaning its 540mm circumference right.

I measured my head when it started to become loose after the padding decided to top being so tight, and my head is 560mm circumference, meaning the shape of the BOX helmets does not fit my head properly.

So if I buy another BOX helmet, it still won't fit me properly, therefore useless to buy another box helmet.


I cant afford to buy another helmet for £50-80 or how ever much I can find a cheap one, in the local store in Dumfries, and Ordering one on line is out of the question since there is a good chance it wont fit properly.

so £20 on a visor is a ok fix for now.

I think what he's trying to say is the smallest size is too big for him.

I could be wrong?

[iMark]

I forgot to mention, the helmet is LOOSE on me, not TIGHT so a bigger helmet would just be even looser
