I always wear my tinted visor, with my helmet sunglasses get pushed up a bit so they cant rest on my nose.
So it's a bit annoying, but if I ever go out with some night riding in the plan I'll probably use my clear + glasses. Only ever ridden at night once and I used my tinted visor with minimal problems. Was in the city though, I imagine it would be down right dangerous and scary on a unlit highway. |

Oh. I should also note I can't wear sunglasses even if I wanted because I wear normal glasses and I don't have any prescription sunglasses.

I've been using a smoked visor for my helmet, but i recently purchased some oakleys with polarized lenses. I'll probably be wearing the sunglasses with the clear visor now.

I can't seem to fit sunglasses on when I have my helmet on. Though about a tinted visor but I go to work in the dark so I would have to carry both all the time. I have a problem in the afternoon at one red light which is directly in the sun on my way home. If I am first at the red light, I can't look into the light because the sun is also right there.
Current solution: Take one of those self stick car window tints for babies, cut a 1.5" out and put it in the top of my visor. It is just out of my way on normally viewing but when I need to look at a red light I can choose to look through it. |

I got my new helmet yesterday, an HJC IS-16. I really like it. It has the flip down sunglasses built into the helmet. It is real light and has lots of venting. I would recommend this helmet.

Yes there is eye coverage, and the bottom part covers up to your nose so there is not much exposed. I really like the sun glasses part because you don't have to worry about adjusting them.

Speaking of polarized sunglasses, does anyone else get a kind of psychedelic rainbow effect with polarized sunglasses and a clear shield (at least in the daytime)? I can't use my polarized glasses with my HJC CL-Max because the effect is just too distracting.

I have a dark smoke visor for an EXO-700. It really doesnt seem to block that much light, so I'm fine wearing it at night.
Also, look how cool I look in it!! |

Tinted visor here. I have a nice zippered pocket inside my Joe Rocket jacket that's meant for a second visor, so I'm covered.
