Review on HJC Helmet Shield HJ 09 SMOKE by Kurt Manning

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great sign, easy to change.

Ideal replacement for those who ride with a clear visor and sunglasses. It's much easier than changing glasses - I wear glasses. So when it's sunny outside I have to wear sunglasses when driving, and when I get to my destination I have to put on my regular glasses and then switch back to my sunglasses for the time to go. It may seem like a small thing, but there are so many different things to consider when riding a motorcycle and I try to simplify my process as much as possible. The screen works just as well as my sunglasses and is very easy to install. Also a note: I'm sure it's not recommended to drive in the dark with a fog shield, but I drove to work with a fog shield (forgot to switch to clear) at 5:30 before sunrise, and until it clearly had crystal clear vision, i'm all still could see everything very well. As a last resort, you could ride it in the dark. I'd just drive it open, but on my commute I drive at 50 mph so I figured it's best to leave it closed.

Pros
