How to Use a Drop-Down Sun Visor Safely

When to lower the sun visor

Lower it during bright daylight or when you ride toward the sun to reduce glare without sacrificing clarity.

Keep it up at night and in low-light conditions so your view remains sharp and safe.

Avoid tinted visor hazards

Do not use a dark sun visor in poor light or rain; it can make it harder to see road obstacles.

If your helmet has a removable tinted visor, swap to a clear one before riding at dawn, dusk, or after sunset.

Care for your sun visor

Keep the visor clean and scratch-free. Wipe it gently with a microfiber cloth and mild visor cleaner.

Replace the visor if it develops scratches, fogging or peeling coatings that reduce visibility.

• Use a soft cloth
• Avoid ammonia-based cleaners
• Store the helmet visor-down in a safe place
