Zitat von Grumpy Goat im Beitrag #31Zitat von Lee im Beitrag #30 If I forget send me a PM the middle of Feb. I'll try to take a inside picture comparing the two types of lens. My prescription probably wont change so if I find the Xtractive too dark inside I can wear my old glasses inside. A lot of times I wear two different pairs of glasses just for the change in color or style.

Zitat von Lee im Beitrag #33 Great follow-up, Lee. Thanks. I have the regular and will be asking for the XTRActive Transition lens next time.

Has anyone tried the photochromatic Pinlock ProtecTINT inserts? I have been using them with a couple of helmets for the last two years and they work a treat for me. I wear prescribed glasses when riding and do not find the integrated sun visors comfortable as they often touch my glasses when moving up or down. I have never used contact lenses and will probably never try. These Pinlock inserts react to light pretty quickly and get dark enough for me. They cost about twice as much when compared to the the normal inserts but take away the need to buy an extra dark visor, so my man-maths justify the cost as well. |

Zitat von iooner im Beitrag #36 Some years ago I bought a Fog City photochromatic anti-fog face shield insert. Unfortunately, it didn't work. Apparently those darkening chemicals are activated by UV light and most helmet face shields block almost 100% of UV light so the insert didn't work when installed on the shield. However, it did turn dark when removed and placed in the sun with nothing in front of it. Needless to say that product didn't stay on the market very long. The $150 photochromatic face shield that I have on my Bell helmet works as advertised, however it is relatively slow to change from dark to light and it doesn't take much light to make if fully dark, such as when riding in a heavy fog. Still, I find it useful when taking off in the morning when it is dark. It is completely clear then and will darken up after sunrise.

Zitat von Richard230 im Beitrag #37 That is something to be grateful for. I've tried pinlock inserts before but don't like them. Good if they prevent fogging, but I don't like the additional visual distortion they bring when its not cold and damp. |
