Review on Dark Smoke Scorpion R420 Shield for Enhanced SEO by Pete Norris

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Ruby shield - nice color, a bit overpriced

I was arguing about whether to go gold or ruby, but finally when I found a video review of the ruby, I liked that it also has pinkish purple tones to the gold. It goes very well with the subtle purple and gold color of the helmet. Some things to look out for - not a perfect reflection, mostly when looking directly at a close-up. It's not a problem for me, but maybe it bothers someone. The shade is perfect for sunny days, not too dark but still works well without sunglasses. It is a warm grey/slightly yellowish tint on the inside of the visor. I didn't have a problem with cloudy skies either, but it's probably too tinted for the night. It's not as easy to fit as the original shield, probably because it hasn't molded around the helmet for a long time. Scratches easily, I managed to get a small scratch on the edge when trying to install it. Fingerprints are everywhere. Actually the price is too high for its quality (I bought it for 59.99) but unfortunately I haven't found any other tinted shields that match this helmet. If it was $35 it would be perfect, but unless there are other options, they're unlikely to drop the price much.
