Visor Panels

Helmet Visor Panels

Motorcycle helmets have become an important part of owning a motorcycle because of the role they play in keeping the rider safe and secure. But not all helmets come with the kind of features you need to stay safe on the road. A visor is a key part of rider safety because it can provide much-needed sun protection and relief. If you have the sun shining in your eyes while riding, this can have a huge impact on your road visibility. So, let's go over how to select the right visor for your motorcycle helmet and the different benefits it has to offer.

Visors designed for use with full-face helmets provide ultimate protection as they extend from the top of the helmet to the chin. With an open-face style helmet, the visor can extend all the way down to the chin, but most of the visors designed for open-face style helmets are usually only half the length and focus primarily on providing eye protection, so there is no protection for the chin.

If you have a helmet with a stock visor that doesn't offer much protection, then you'll be happy to learn that most models can be replaced and upgraded. They should also be replaced if they are damaged because scratches can have a huge impact on visibility. This is especially true if you're riding towards the sun.

The visor, also referred to as the shield, is a large clear panel that you will look through as you ride. It can provide protection from sunlight, elements, and flying debris. The visor you choose should be strong enough to resist impact penetration, which is why the models sold separately are often pricey. You should buy a dark visor for daytime riding and a clear one for nighttime riding.

Most of the visors will come equipped with a mechanism that allows the visor to rotate, but it's also what securely attaches it to your helmet. Most manufacturers will produce their own mechanism, so you'll need to be extra careful when shopping for a visor to make it compatible with your brand and style of helmet. These mechanisms are surprisingly fragile, but with careful installation, you can easily adjust the way the shield fits against the helmet seal and adjust the visor accordingly.
