I could use something like that. I feel like the drop-down visor in my helmet distorts my vision some. Even with sunglasses, when the sun is high it shines right into my face and I find myself putting a hand up like an Indian searching the horizon.
Thanks for the link.

Don't know if it would work for you or not. I have a Bell helmet with a visor that auto darkens. Works pretty good for me.

That is very similar to what is on my new HJC helmet, except you take it off to install the full face shield. Pro's and con's with both.

Only one problem with this is that the photochromic sunglasses (or regular glasses w/photo C - Transitions©) is that they will only darken when exposed to UV light. The clear face shield blocks the UV and they will not darken. Ask me how I know. Same thing when driving the car, I have to have a pair of Rx sunglasses as the car's glass blocks the UV.
Another bit of info. Polarized sunglasses work great . . . . 'til you lower your face shield. Then you get all sorts of weird rainbow effects due to the curvature of the plastic of the shield.
Depending on the thickness and curvature of the plastic the effect can be mild to "wow, man, that's some good stuff".

Give it a try. FWIW, I have asked wind tint companies about applying tint onto plastic surfaces and seem to always get the reply that it will not adhere well or blisters easily.
If it works great if not, can always use tape.
To clean the plastic, denatured alcohol should be a good choice.

Excellent if it works, if not, no harm.
Not to jinx you, Winter is in a few days...
But, if you want, get while the gettin is good. Bring a tent and you can camp in my backyard until Spring.
All the best with your visor mod.

In the summer, I find myself ryding due east, into the rising sun, and west, into the setting sun, regularly on organized Maryland Spyder Web rydes, because our normal meetup point is 62 miles due east of my home. I've thought about adding some tape to the upper part of my drop-down sun visor in my Nolan N-104. I also have a mirrored face shield that I used on my ride to Tucson, but it becomes problematic if riding at night. Old folks have crappy night vision, to begin with, and I don't want to diminish available light, any more than necessary.
I'll be looking forward to hearing about your experience. Bob.

I am very sensitive to glare, and my HJC helmet has a drop-down sun visor.
But has anybody tried adding a strip of dark film across the top of their visors; to try and block out the Sun when it always seems to be pointed right at you?
Bob,
Google Fog City Speed Tint. This is what I use . Sold lots of them when I had my own shop.

This stuff?

I couldn't find anything mentioning the amount of light that they block?
What can you tell us about that?

I had just enough bright Sun yesterday, to give it a decent test. When I tipped the visor out of the way; I was completely blinded by the glare. When I tipped it down; I had complete vision of the roadway back!
