How to Make a Motorcycle Helmet Visor

"A visor adds a tremendous functionality to a motorcycle helmet, of course.

But unless it becomes fogged, frozen or splattered with bugs, it fades into the background of the rider's consciousness, which is just as it should be. You look through a visor, not at it.

So I'll bet there aren't very many motorcyclists spending a lot of time thinking about how visors are made. Ask someone and they'll probably tell you that a visor must be made in some type of a mold.

Maybe it somehow gets tinted, especially with one of those cool, color-changing iridium coatings.

Everyone agrees on one thing for sure though: when you open the box, the helmet better have a nice, new, shiny visor attached!"

Interesting article! It looks like they also make protective camera covers for spy drones.
