Can't believe a helmet manufacturer (well a decent one does do replacement visors.

Anyway if it's scratched it needs replacing - try visorshop.com or many of the other suppliers found by doing a basic google search:

Used to use toothpaste, most visors now have some sort of coating so you'd be removing tht

I know hence my comment, out of interest who is the manufacturer of your current helmet?

A mate of a mate bought multiple from Ali express and swears by them for prices like £15-20. Even photochromic ?

I’ll ask if he has any links

Worth checking to make sure they are legal.

Whilst I don't know anyone who stick someone on for it. Is it worth taking a risk from a safety point of view.

dude you cracked after only 4 hours you absolutely wanted a new helmet smile

I think a lot of coatings means properly scratched ones are pretty much done anyway. Did you buy like for like or switch to something with replacable options?

Why would you not let everyone know the make of the helmet ? Might be nice to know what sort of manufacturers don’t supplier basic spares .

Me to, incl a photochromic one. They fit great, work very well and I’m happy to chuck them out and get a new one of they get a bit beaten up. The photochromic ones are a bit more expensive than the plain or tinted ones.

I know you let out at least a snort. You can deny it all you like, but we both know the truth.
