Colored face sheilds on helmets
Are ALL tinted screens for helmets garbage?
Whenever I got my new icon helmet about 4 months ago, I bought a gold tinted windscreen with it..
After about 2 months it started getting pretty blurry..
After 3 months, I coulden't even see through the thing..
From cleaning the front of hte helmet, it has made the gold rub off... So now its spekeled(sp) with gold dots, and makes it stupid to even use....
So im woundering, are all colors like this? If I get a silver one, will it just rub off when I clean it?
What about a regular black smoked one?

back to the POINT!
do all colored shields **** *** after cleaning them a lot? I guess the real question is, do any helmets have the coloring on the INSIDE?
Im almost thinking of tinting my clear visor.. Woulden't have to worry about that rubbing off

^ holy **** captain riding gear...
i have a polarized arai one, it's a few years old now, so it's not as good as it used to be, but it's semi reflective, and polarized is soo sweet at night.. instead of headlights being a giant blur, you can almost see the bulb, it's just a tiny round light... u just have to wipe it with like a sunglass cloth
