Motorcycle Helmet Shields: A Vital Component of Rider Safety
We’re passionate about enhancing the riding experience through innovative technology. While our ground breaking product, the VISIN heated visor insert, tackles the issue of fogging (Find out more and buy here), we also recognize the importance of understanding the broader role that motorcycle helmet shields play in rider safety.
The Protective Barrier:
Your helmet shield is your first line of defense against the elements and road hazards. It shields your face from wind, rain, dust, insects, and debris, ensuring a comfortable and safe riding experience. A quality motorcycle helmet shield also provides crucial protection in the event of an accident, minimizing the risk of facial injuries.
Key Features of a Good Helmet Shield:
- Impact Resistance: The shield should be made from high-impact polycarbonate material that can withstand significant force.
- Optical Clarity: A clear, distortion-free shield is essential for optimal visibility.
- UV Protection: The shield should block harmful UV rays from the sun, protecting your eyes and skin.
- Scratch Resistance: A durable, scratch-resistant coating helps maintain clarity and extends the life of the shield.
Types of Helmet Shields:
- Clear: Offers maximum visibility in all conditions.
- Tinted: Reduces glare and eye strain in bright sunlight.
- Mirrored: Provides additional glare reduction and a stylish aesthetic.
- Photochromic: Automatically adjusts tint based on light conditions.
- Pinlock: Features a double-layered system with an anti-fog insert designed to be fog resistant.
Maintaining Your Helmet Shield:
Proper care and maintenance can extend the life of your helmet shield and ensure optimal performance:
- Regular Cleaning: Clean your shield after each ride using a mild soap and water solution or a dedicated helmet cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that can damage the shield’s surface.
- Anti-Fog Treatment: Apply an anti-fog coating or use a Pinlock insert to prevent fogging, especially in cold or humid conditions (we believe there’s a much better option – read on…)
- Proper Storage: Store your helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent damage to the shield.
- Timely Replacement: Replace your shield if it becomes scratched, damaged, or discolored. A compromised shield can reduce visibility and compromise safety.
