ONE-TOUCH QSV-1 SUN-SHIELD​

  • QSV-1 sun-shield provides instant relief from the sun’s glare
  • Large, easy-to-use switch activates the 3D inner shield
  • QSV-1 is 100% optically correct for distortion-free view
  • Protects against 99% of the sun’s damaging UV rays
  • Sun-shield is anti-fog and scratch-resistant prepared
  • Unique to Shoei, the forehead area of the outer shell is raised slightly to accommodate the internal sun-shield. This maintains the integrity of the EPS protection liner by keeping it fully intact, so there is no compromise to safety.

That seems to crack that one 👍 the 2s are available on offer and we have the bike show coming up so may be even less there - that one is the NT 3 though
 
From what I have read in the past, as we are the world's number one skin cancer capital in Oz we have pretty strict regulations on being Sun Safe including Sun Glasses, claiming stuff working and not being true would not be smart business.

You bet ..... !!

I tend to use dark visors 90% of the time , especially during winter , when the sun in low in the sky ( searchlight in your eyes conditions ) , and glare coming off a wet road surface .......

.... and talking of visors ....... why ever did Arai get rid of the old Ad Sis system .... you could rip the old one off and replace it in seconds ....... Now it`s fiddling with levers , removing side pods , lining up holes ......... Why ?

Agreed - just a pain in the arse - now have one helmet with clear and one with Tinted and choose according to the weather

Aren't tinted visors just to look cool?

With the Shoei Neotech flip down visor, it offers credible wind protection to the eyes, and offers legal protection in jurisdictions which dictate eye wind protection.
Off topic discussion of tinted and/or photo chromatic lenses of full face helmets, IMO there is a strong discussion that ‘personal vanity’ has a lot to do with it, fashion statements run strong in the motorcycle multi level community.

Sun shield makes for a heavier helmet.
My old neck doesn't like it.

I looked at Photocramatic visors a while back but Shoei didn't have one for the Neotech 2. I was concerned about how fast it would work entering long tunnels with less ambient light. I have long tunnels in every direction leaving my house and wearing Sunglasses in the car is horrible in these tunnels so that flip-down sunscreen works really well around here. We have a North-South coastal mountain range so the majority of our rides cross this east-west or visa versa and avoiding early morning or late afternoon sun strike just isn't possible, BTW the Cops look for this in serious crashes. We have road signs talking about this serious hazard, a recent Oxley Ride had me holding my arm up as well as having my sun visor down as a Sunblock for a good 3 hours, I knew it was coming after a long delay with a flat tyre that needed a fix. It's bloody horrible to need to do this but on occasions it's unavoidable and without that drop-down visor it's really dangerous. Now I wouldn't own a helmet without one of those.

The sun shield is invaluable..wouldnt want a tinted visor as such though one that reacts and changes tint woukd be great...is there such a thing for any current helmet maybe sold aftermarket?

I recommend that you read my post on page 1.

I think the combination of being able to flick back to clear visor is a really good option which is one of the reasons I am looking at the flip helmet as on several rides the weather has changed and the light level reduced and changing an Arai visor is no longer a quick change and is fairly risky if hurried - the NT three has a slightly longer flip up and better ventilation apparently avoids the misting that some people experienced

I have a photochromic or whatever visor on my new helmet.
Reacts to sunlight and goes clear instantly when you go into shade or a tunnel.
It's a Shoei of some description.
Brilliant.

Sounds great...which helmet..aftermarket or Shoei visor? Pricey, I presume?
 
Got a helmet with a built-in flip-down tinted visor. Thought it was a bit of a gimmick at first but I'll make sure my next helmet has the same feature.
