Call me blind and old but I just went back to a clear visor and the difference at night is amazing.
I know you should change to clear at night but lets face it...who does it?
Anyway thought I would mention it.
CLEAR IS the way to go.
WOW..there are cars and stuff out there on the road....simply amazing.

Nearly cleaned up some roos once when caught out with a dark visor, trying to ride on an insect infested night holding the visor at 1/2 mast,
Nothing like brushing a roos rear leg with your shoulder to wake you up and keep you alert

Mmmmm yes well speaking of cleaning up roos......................from quick inspection between swear words have estimated about 2500 - 3000 damage from this mornings little effort. All I can say is FBK and I hope the barstards got a head ache.

Always use clear at night and its interesting that you are having trouble with the Shark as I purchased a Shark Rsi and even without glasses on it put preasure on the top of my ears so I took it back and got another ARAI helmet.

My visor is iridium, I think. It's kind of olden yellowy.
Looks clearer than clear in the night and slight tint in the day time!
Best of both worlds...

Have to agree.
Wife has the tinted visor, I use the clear for the simple reason that you cant see for shit at night. I bought a cheap pair of sunnies that I "modified" (bent the crap out of the arms) to wear inside the helmet during the day. Carry the good ones to wear when stopped and the others live in the helmet.
Since we're had a touch of rain the 'roos aint so thick around here at present. - but be careful.
I don't want a pickle . . .
