Default Shades or dark visor

What do you use when the sun is shining?

Personally I like sunglases. It gives the option of riding with your visor open and not getting a fly in your eye

I go with both so when I open my visor to get some fresh air, me eyes are set on fire by the blinding sun.

I ride mostly in the day so I bought a tinted visor. I got sick of dropping my sunglasses! My helmet changes visors very quickly without tools so it works well for me.

I knew we could "count on Abacus" for some humour.....he he
I have a photochromic visor insert which goes blue in strong light - ideal for changing light conditions. Made by Fog City.

My helmet has a built-in shade that's manually operable from a control on the outside. Works pretty well, and I believe it takes away some of the dangers posed by contrasting light situations. Last year a couple of guys wearing regular sunglasses behind their visors hit a truck when they rode into the dark of a tunnel.

I also found this solution that might work somewhat like that of Kewl Breeze: Motorcycle Helmet Sun Shade

Well be fair - everytime the sun comes out in Liverpool it gets mugged


I use a caberg with a built in sun visor (I think like Cosmobob described_ Kinda makes me feel like a fighter pilot lol

Sunglasses because I ride as often at night as I do at day.

"I wear my sunglasses at night"[8D]

Well not dark shades at least, but yellow ones, dark at day.
I like to have the option to cruise with the visor up feeling the breeze and not getting a bug stuck in my cornea
