HJC CL-15 shields - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

I was wondering if anyone knows where to find a **Lightly** tinted shield for a HJC CL-15. Also, does anyone else think the stock one is kinda distorted? I know this is just the nature of helmets, but I would assume there would be a premium shield that would reduce this effect.

What do you mean by distorted? It distorts the vision?

Good Day, eh! I ride with an HJC CL-33 and use both a "smoked" shield and a clear one. There is no distortion whatsoever. An interesting note, I just purchased a pair of prescription sunglasses with polarized lens. When you drop the shield with polarized sunglasses, light refracts differently and light will refract through plexiglass. In essence you end up with rainbow colours reflecting back off the windscreen. Don't know if I'm crazy about that but it sure beats a bug missle between the eyes at 65 mph.

Does "Smoked" mean lightly tinted basically? I have a visor I have been looking at and its listed as smoked. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-H...53801081QQrdZ1
