Amber Vision
aloha forum folks..
i used an amber shield on my way to work early friday morning. it was the first time i've used one like this while still dark out, and found that i could see well enuff ahead to feel comfortable, and the glare from oncoming traffic was non-existant.... maybe it's like...a known fact and i am the last to know...but anyone else use this type for dark-time riding?

i bought my wife a pair of amber driving glasses for night driving. she didn't notice any improvement. i tried them and they ended up giving me a headache and i didn't notice any benefit either.
never tried an amber motorcycle helmet shield. i think i will stick to my clear for night time. |

I used to use a yellow/orange double lens anti fog shield many years ago... even at night. I worked well and I could see very well at night with that color.
You get your helmet latch fixed, too? |

I have to stay with clear or a very light smoke. Anything else really throws me off since I am colour blind.

Just the clear that came with the helmet and I wear sunglasses if it is sunny out, , I'm too cheap to buy another visor,

Lol! That's what I used to do also. But once I get my ninjette I plan to get a new smoke visor (if not, a new helmet altogether) for my JR Rkt101 helmet.
