Happened upon this
and thought it was interesting. A two-tone shield like a car windshield.

I only wear a tinted shield. I prefer mirrored...but they scratch. So I have a dark smoke back up...which is on now. I don't even bother carrying the clear shield. Fuck it....I'll stumble home with the dark tint.

I just ordered a dark smoke. Haven't been able to find one locally, and sometimes my light smoke just isn't enough. Also ordered a shield carrier for my clear. Ordered a pair of the Cortech Mod Denim pants too.

A dark smoke will look better on that lid.

In general, the mirrored visor finishes can get scratched by harder bugs at high speeds and pebbles and such, and do better with a little more maintenance. I liked the mirror enough to accept those things though and that's what I ride with.

Do you think smoke or mirrored would look better on this exact helmet?

Dk Smoke looks better on any helmet, IMO!

I have one for my HJC, Also Icon and I think Scorpion and KBC both offer the same thing.

Dark smoke FTW.

I liked the mirror on my matte black helmet, but it did get all fucked up pretty quickly... That being said, I'm going to get another one anyway.
