I don't know if this is the right place for this but i saw this product and thought it was a good idea..........

Sunshield

What do you think?


Gary

Oh ..... posh duct tape.

Hehe... What Sam said. I used to use a red tape strip on the top 1" of my visor when i raced ( instead of a dark visor)

That product wouldve been a nice-to-have item,(if it passed scrutineering) but like Sam says, duct tape does it all, most probably cheaper too

which leads me on to..

That tape never did do everything i wanted it to, I had to be careful to angle my head when heading into the sun, etc

It was a help, but the poor cousin in both style and function, to the dark visor or dropdown dark visor.

In rapidly changing light conditions SUNAX Sunshield protects you within a millisecond - simply lower your head!

.........by that time youre blinded anyways.
At 18 quid, it wants to be all singing all dancing!!

How dare you people to imply us mere mortals from Essex would even contemplate putting "Duct Tape" on our "Safety Helmets"

Huh!!!!!!!!!




Gary

I have one - and wouldnt recommend it particularly - tis ok






but not as useful as duct tape

I imagine shutting your eye's would be as useful

probly Gio - however, I've sort of got used to looking where I'm going, and at what's coming to get me when on the bike - even when the sun is attempting to sear my eyeballs out - I find it helps in avoiding unwanted comings-together with other traffic/hedgerow greenery/roadside ditches etc etc

Don't you think all those ideas are a bit too advanced for Gio
That's why he's packed in bikes.

For just over another tenner, you could get the real Rolls Royce job
A Fog city Hyper optics insert - light reactive, AND you don't get a misted up visor any more

They really are the dog's danglies

They are, however i know of someone who had a bad experience using one.

Arai fitment i think. didnt work. lost a race cos he couldnt see wtf he was going. never did find out why it didnt work. the second one he had was ok tho



(not me btw)

I am of course generalising, how many times have you walked round a corner and been blinded by the sun, the natural inclination is to shut yor eyes.

I've got 2 black visors that I use anyway (not at the same time)

What, driving the car?
