I think this is very cool.

I've heard good things about it and have been wanting to get one for my vortex but haven't pulled the trigger yet. It seems like the last time I looked into them they were a lot more expensive. Either way it's pretty cool.

That's the first thing I got as an accessory to my helmets.

No bike yet, so I can't comment until later this year.

Forget the bike. Throw the helmet on, go for a quick jog and let us know how it works. Nao!

I used to have glasses that had transitions lenses.

It wasn't really the best for glasses because they didn't work as well inside a car, but that option would rock for a helmet. That's the perfect application.

Get it!

You notice they're kicking it on an FZ in the video?

I use that shield on my RS-1 helmet.

Along with being a Transition Lens, it is very high quality with better optics than any other lens I have seen.

The first one I had got damaged (non bike related) and forked out for a replacement.

It is worth the money (you can buy helmet that cost less than that lens)

On that note, I went out and got my transition lens today.

Thanks for your personal review.

I can't believe Shoei doesn't have this yet.

I have one on my Bell Vortex Flying Tiger and love it!
My riding school highly recommended it if one of us ended up buying a Bell helmet.
Definitely worth it if your willing to fork over the money.
Hope you like it too Yasko!

I just got a photochromatic pinlock insert. Will see how it performs tomorrow. Hopefully it works as well as a photochromatic visor.

You should 'exercise' your transition shield.

When you first get it put it out in full sunlight until it goes fully dark, then cover it with a towel until it goes completely clear, and repeat for about an hour or two.

This will make the shield 'transition' faster.

Thank you very much for that tip.
