new fangled helmet shields

Charlie Schlismann · Posted: Mon Jun 18, 2007 8:27 pm Post subject: new fangled helmet shields

Time to replace the shields on my crusty Bell. Seems like there are a few more choices now than clear, black and not so black.

Any experience w/the blue blocker - I'm guessing something like polarized shades? How about those fancy-schmancy chromes.

Looking for bright and glare situation solutions. I liked my beat up dark shield until it was so beat up.

Pretty sure I can figure out the clear shield.

TIA,
Charlie

My customers still only ask for Clear, Dark and not so Dark.

I like my mirrored (crhome) visor. Not too dark on cloudy days but nice on sunny days. Besides, it looks really cool and aren't we all just trying to look cool at the track anyway?

Well, I ordered the dark to replace the old dark smoke this afternoon. I should have it in my hands tomorrow as I leave for the Sprints.

I like the look of the chrome and will probably check it out further when I buy my next helmet in a few years.

Would've gone w/it this time but could not find one locally to look through and was afraid it might not be dark enough.
