Gonna get a tinted visor

I'm gonna pick up a tinted visor, but I can't decide between light smoke or dark smoke. Anyone have pics of comparisons or experience with either one. Which should I get?

i've had dark smoke on my previous shoei RF1000. it's pretty good.

at night, it's not so bad either.

I picked up a light tint & I like it. Works plain for with my sunglasses. It's okay in evenings too (sorry MattL). But I didn't get the dark tint because we aren't supposed to wear those at night and the cops may just pull you over here for that.

I like my dark visor... I hardly even notice the tinting most of the time, it is just a lot easier on the eyes. Of course at night I swap it out for clear.
Ride it like you think owning it matters.

Go for the dark, if you plan on doing a day/night ride just put the clear shield on....use sunglasses. It can be done to use a tinted shield at night but it makes it difficult to me.

The Light or dark tint can get you stopped at night. Get the dark for the bright days and use the clear at night.

I carry the clear in a tail bag so I am not cuaght.

Otherwise, get a pair of clear glasses and leave the shield up at night and use the glasses

Well, in honor of me dominating my fluid mechanics final, I went with the dark smoke for my HJC CL-SP Osiris. A little success present for myself. Does that make me full of myself?? :)
