Default How to fix reflection inside a face shield?

I have a full face helmet and just got a tinted face shield with the reflective silver on the outside. In the sun, the reflection of my face inside the face shield is really bad.

You all know a million tips and tricks. Anything I can do about that?

I don't beleive so. That's teh nature of the iridium shields, alhtough some people don't notice it and, some can't stand it.

I almost fell of the chair after this comment! I know everyone here is incredibly helpful...but responses like these, show a wonderful and incredible sense of humor that is also all over this place.......a well delivered line is golden....never stop posters, its the best place on the forum and I love coming here! As for the reflection, damn I sure do hope someone has an answer, I dont do full face, but damn that would drive me nuts!

You either just look through it or get a half helmet. Tinted shields will make a different but a pita at night.

theres nothing you can do to stop it...i do know that the bell star line of helmets actually has a transitions shield, just like the glasses...light out, it tints, dark out it, goes clear...slick but not cheap...
