I was looking for a diffrent face shield other then the clear one. I have a Shoei RF-1000 helmet. A friend told me you don't have any problems seeing out of the mirror shield at night because its just a lense cover. The smoke ones you do have aproblem seeing out of at night because they are actually a dark shieldcompared tojust a lense cover like the mirror shields.Is this true? I didn't want to be changing out my shields all the time depending if its night or day out.

Thanks

Unless they have changed... I used to have a Mirrored, (Chromed), shield for my older Shoei and it was too dark for riding at night. I have the RF1000 and have both clear and tinted. I would never ride with anything but the Clear one for nights. Being able to see everything is a must for riding when it's dark. The shields are so easy to change on the Shoei quick release system. I use both.

 

i used to have a shoei rf 900 and had a mirrored shield and i would definitly not recomend it for night riding..in the day it was my helemt aand at night it was my pasenger..its still dark enough to jack you up

 

I'd suggest clear. I like riding with a clear shield. If it is sunny, I wear sunglasses underneight. Mainly because when cruising at around 40 or so, I can open the sheidl (get wind on the face) and still have eye protection.

 

I have a mirrored one for my HJC and the only thing it cuts down on at night is headlights no other problem with visibilty

 

I have a mirrored on my Scorpion....same deal here, I can ride with it at night if I MUST, but I avoid it as much as I can. If I am going out for long ride, I put my clear sheild someplace so I can swap it out.
