Has any one out there got a good thing to say about them ?

After a millenium trying to work out how to seperate the tear off from the backing plastic,i spent blooming hours last night wrestling with the condom thin sheet, finally getting it fitting somethink right.Proudly i put on me helmet and now it's like looking through my gin & tonic glass after some one has drank there guiness from it.W T F is all this about ? furious

why do you need tear offs when your sat behind a windscreen?

I've used them on open cockpit, and always ended up getting the supplier to fit them..

I use a very expensive iridium coated visor and as you might know any solvent takes the coating off the visor.either i have touched my visor with a cleaner or i have more likely oil or such like on my race gloves.I have had to buy another visor because the coating has come off allready and now i can't see properly.I will be testing an open cockpit car in a few weeks so wanted to get used to them this week end.

ah i see, i use a cheap plain visor ( same one since 2001!!!) and a pair of shades, but then j am a cheapskate lol.

your right though they. are a pain to fit perfectly. wont they bugger the visor as well though if the coating is that fragile ?
