Description of Enhanced Visibility: Panovision Shield (Dark Smoke)

Panovision Viewport Increases Field of View. No matter what or how you ride, one factor remains constant the need for maximum visibility. Whether racing or going on a simple ride in the mountains, the ability to make safe head-checks and see obstacles clearly is critical. This allows the rider to see better in a tight or tucked position and make safer lane changes and head-checks. The Panovision viewport offers riders additional vertical and lateral visibility over more traditional viewports.

Great but not perfect

Works well. I wish it was a little darker as I usually like to wear sunglasses underneath. I ride in Colorado, wear sun galore There is no darker option available at the time of purchase.

Pros
  • Great
Cons
  • Almost never

The perfect sign. for motorcycles and weight training

Perfect match for my Bell Star helmet. The color could be darker but this is the darkest they make. Very happy with the shield. If you buy this make sure your sign is panoramic style with a center bar.

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • I have no particular complaints about it, everything is fine

Revainrating 3 out of 5

If there were other options, I would recommend them.

Expensive - On the 3rd day of wearing this sign it already has a noticeable scratch. Earlier helmet shields (other brands) held up much better. If there were other options, I would recommend these.

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • Quality

So far so good, suitable for motorcycles and weight training

Not the coolest face shield, but probably the most functional. Now I have an orange shield for cloudy days and a smoky one for sunny days. My eyes are more sensitive to light than others. I'll update the review once I've had more time with the dark smoke shield.

Pros
  • Easy to fit
Cons
  • Very expensive

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Easy to put on but easy to scratch

This is a great visor that is easy to put on and take off, making it easy to adjust for different riding conditions. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because I find the material scratches quite easily and I wish Bell could make this material more scratch resistant.

Pros
  • High marks for grip and durability from testers
Cons
  • Great price

The dark smoke was disappointingly light

The screen quality was excellent, just what I expected from BELL, however the Dark Smoke hue was disappointingly light, especially compared to the bright PROTINT. the activated version and the previous generation Dark Smoke shield I had on my PC-1 helmet. It doesn't help if I have to replace my visor and also wear sunglasses on a clear day.

Pros
  • The easy to read control panel
Cons
  • faded

Great for driving on a sunny day

Pick this because it was on sale at $20! I thought I couldn't find a better price. Perfect fit for my Bell SRT Predator. Looks great with the white and black pattern on my helmet. Drove 30km with no problems. It was a sunny afternoon and the shield did an excellent job of reducing the brightness. Highly recommended, especially if you can buy it on sale! But definitely worth the price.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Not automatic
