Default Face Shield Tints - Need Advice!

Hi All,

I have an HJC 3/4 helmet.

The faceshield that came with it is clear, and I would like to get another one to alleviate the need for sunglasses.

My options are normal tinted, dark tinted, and the chromed look.

Here are my questions.
  1. Is the normal tinting dark enough for bright sun?
  2. Is the dark tinting too dark to ride at dusk or dawn?
  3. Does the chromed look block the sun enough, or offer any sun protection?

Peace,
G
