Photochromic Face Shield Visor for K1 S, K3 SV, K5 S Motorcycle Helmets

What is a Photochromic Visor?

The photochromic visor is a remarkable innovation that automatically adjusts its tint based on the intensity of sunlight (UV light). This feature allows you to ride comfortably in various lighting conditions, from cloudy weather to bright sunlight and even complete darkness, without the need to change your visor.

The "photochromic" property of this visor reduces a staggering 99% of the harmful UV rays that can damage both your eyes and skin. In essence, it acts as a dynamic sunscreen for your eyes, protecting them from the sun's harsh glare.

The speed at which the visor transitions between its clear and tinted states is influenced by the temperature. The warmer the environment, the faster the molecules can move and, consequently, the quicker the visor can adapt. On a pleasant day, the visor can transform from completely clear to its maximum tint in as little as 40 seconds.

This photochromic visor is designed as an aftermarket accessory for K1 S, K3 SV, and K-5 S helmet models.

The photochromic technology behind these shields works by undergoing chemical reactions in response to the presence and absence of ultraviolet light. When exposed to sunlight, the shields will gradually darken, providing enhanced protection. Conversely, when indoors or in low-light conditions, the shields will return to a clear or near-clear state.

It's worth noting that the photochromic shields tend to darken more quickly than they lighten, and the transition speed is slightly affected by temperature as well. On a particularly bright and sunny day, the shields can reach their maximum tint in around 20 seconds. The full activation process, however, takes approximately 2 minutes.

In terms of protection, these photochromic shields boast an impressive 99% blockage of both UVA and UVB rays, ensuring your eyes are well-shielded from the sun's harmful effects. Additionally, they are designed to be impact-resistant, providing an extra layer of safety.

It's important to keep in mind that the photochromic performance can be influenced by various factors, such as temperature, UV exposure, and your riding posture. Please note these considerations when using the photochromic visor.
