Considering a new Shoei Helmet.............Visors and Polarized Sunglasses

This may seem like a question from yesterday, but here goes. Years ago, I had refraction issues with polarized sunglasses and Shoei face shields...the multi-level floating translucent surfaces. Is that still the case?

As strange as it may sound, it's easier and cheaper for me to get polarized clips for my glasses than non-polarized clips.

Ain't no Foster Grants......it's the four eyes I need to see.

I wear a Shoei X-14 with a photochromic lens. I also wear glasses that are photochromic and transition to polarized. I have zero issues with optical clarity, although my glasses will only transition with the lens up or before I put the helm on.

LED screens are very difficult to read with Polarized lenses particularly GPS screens unless you turn your head at 90 degrees to the screen but that is a bit difficult to do and ride at the same time

I had my polychromatic glasses specially made without polarization because of display issues on the RS.

Now, onto gear.

I replaced my Arai Vector 2 with an Arai Something else -Chaser(?).

I was able to replace my Held jacket with an exactly identical one.

Boots were unmarked.

The Airflow BMW gloves are scuffed up but still whole.

I will look for slightly armoured, light weight full leather gloves with a gauntlet this time. The shorter gloves allowed my wrist watch to be torn off and torn up by the pavement.

The Held jacket wore through in places, but to the armour, not skin. It is technically hard to repair anyhow.

It seems, jackets and helmets are really durable "one use" items.

"Not like the old days..."

BTW I bisected the Arai using a 76 mm pneumatic rotary disc and plasterboard saw. There was no deformation of the shell at all. There was no visible disturbance of the Styrofoam liner. I understand the damage may be invisible but there is no certainty that if damage can't be seen, that it must exist.

My head and face would have been messed up without a full face helmet. I would not ride a solo without one. I am prepared to use a flip or open face on the Spyder.
