Helmet Sunblocker

[Odie]

For those of you who wear full face helmets and are tired on the sun beating on your eyes check this product out. Cheap and affective.

I've used this product for over ten years and it is very effective.

I have been painting the top of my visors with Black Krylon Fusion.
Works great for me. Before Krylon, I used black Gaffers tape.(Like duct tape but less sticky)
I like the top totally blocked out, not just darker.
That way when traveling west in the afternoon you can just tip your chin down a bit to block the sun.

I'd just get a helmet with a build-in shade...if the sun is lower in the sky, this won't do much...

I have the HJC IS-16 Scratch...nice helmet for a good price...the sunshade is awesome!

That's a great and inexpensive way to go if you already have a helmet.
But if your looking to get a new one, You might try one with a built in retractable sun screen. Like the HJC SY MAX 2.

I love a full face helmet but can't stand the shield closed so for years we have put a strip of black electrical tape on the bottom edge of the shield. As the sun changes direction I can adjust my shield up or down and always have a sun block.

I have this helmet and while helmets are very personal things and not every one works for everyone this helmet works for me and the built in visor and flip up chin guard are great!

I have the IMax HJC with retractable sun shield too but it's a modular helmet and I bought a CSR1 HJC that didn't have a retractable shield. The retractable shield works okay but I think the sunblocker works a little better IMO. :doorag::ani29:

Thanks for the info. At less than $20 it may just be worth giving it a try. I have a photochromatic face shield on my helmet, but their are still times it is not nearly dark enough to help.

 

[Questions]

I get headaches from too much sun in my eyes. I recently went with this option--very similar concept and can be transferred from helmet to helmet which is pretty useful: http://www.compacc.com/p/Helmet-Sunblocker-Shields/1205003
