motorcycle helmets tinted visors

Swapping clear and dark visors may be one way to deal with changing light conditions, but this only works when riding in sunny weather and entering poorer light, overcast areas or when the evening is approaching. The rest of the world uses the helmets’ integrated sun visors or good old sunglasses. Still, no one has given up the chase for the ultimate visor which can alter its tint on request. Problem is that these items are not exactly cheap, and this is sort of back to square one.Still nothing new under the sunOther manufacturers have been playing with electrochromatics for quite some time now, and we have reported on numerous similar designs, with the Nitro Optical Shutter Dimming Helmet Visor and the Akari AX-11 being only two of them. AGV uses the same technology which involves a thin LCD film attached to the visor, with the rider changing its tint using a helmet-mounted button. The tint can be zero, as in clear visors, half-dark and full-dark. Obviously the full-dark retains decent visibility to keep things in the safe zone.

Electricity comes from a rechargeable battery which provides 55 hours of half-dark and 12 hours of full-dark operation.

And there’s the added wind noise which might also be a down side for some riders.

Road rules needed for helmets cams, visors 19 Feb , 2015, The Motorcycle Council of NSW has called for national road rules on helmet use that are separate to the current helmet standards so riders know where they stand on issues such as tinted visors and helmet cams. Vice-chair Dr Bruce Campbell says the Australian product safety standard system for helmets “is broke”. “What pisses riders off is that the standard is being used to punish us but being ignored by everyone else,” he says. Speaking at the Australian Standards motorcycle helmet forum in Sydney today he said the current standard isn’t used by retailers, a fact verified by Simon Bell, a rider and assistant director of policy and standards with the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission.

Simon said he could not recall one retailer being prosecuted for selling a non-compliant in the past five years. Bruce told the forum: “Retailers are never asked to substantiate compliance prior to sale unless through a coroner. And all the coroner wants is to see if there is a sticker on it and then he’s happy. “Riders have no faith in the compliance system in Australia. We do not know if they comply with a standard or not.” He complained that police forces selectively and incorrectly used the flawed standard as a basis for regulation. “We have riders being booked for tinted visors and cameras. This standard is being used to punish riders, rather than protect them.” He called for regulatory standards on what is safe to change on a helmet or add to it. “We need to prevent unsafe use and restrict unsafe modifications. The road rules must be consistent throughout Australia. “We do not expect drivers to changes their seat belts every time they cross a border so why should riders have to change their helmets?”

He also addressed the issue of riders in some states being fined for a non-compliant helmet because they had fitted a tinted visor. “We need them in Australia,” he says. “Sometimes I even wear sunglasses underneath a tinted visor for the glare. “Wouldn’t it make more sense to have something in the road rules that say you shouldn’t use a tinted visor during certain hours of darkness?” He also wants reference to communication devices and cameras being fitted to helmets included in the road rules. “These in-service regulations must be separate to the helmet standards,” he says. “Road rules on tinted visors and helmet cams should be separate to standards and then they only need to be updated once.” Dan Leavy from the NSW Centre for Road Safety told the forum that they were doing a series of tests to see if helmet cameras are safe. Professor Raphael Gzrebieta of the UNSW said a camera mounted on a helmet could exacerbate injuries in a crash by forcing your head to rotate faster.
