Just wondering would it be safe to use sun control film on a visor, my helmet with the inbuilt visor is waiting for a part from nitro so having to use my spare helmet at the moment.

I use standart cheap cotton mask, it's black I've got it over my nose and I can see even if the sun is low. Just to compare, my friend does not use any mask and he doesn't see a thing in the same condition. I paid for it, 1.99GBP, it also cooles my head down in hot summer and also keeps me warm when it's chilly. Thumbs Up

I'v e used a couple of different sun strips insdie my visor - quite good day to day but wrecked the anti-fog on the section they were over. So I've stopped using them again now. Sometimes I ride with my clutch hand up to shield, but what works best is simply keeping your visor spotless to reduce glare.

Tape along top end of visor, job done. You'll be amazed how much of your vertical field of vision that you don't use.
