I have problems with my helmet shield vision at night and specially during rain. I don't feel I can trust it enough to see every obstacle specially with the glaring lights of cages.

How do you improve your visibility at night with your helmet shields? Do you apply some sort of toothpaste or cleaner to make it clearer? Or is there a special shield to be worn during nightime?

Right now, I just flip up my shield at nights to get a sure vision but it hurts my eyes after a long trip and I can't drive at a high speeds.

sir ano helmet nyo? baka madami na gasgas lens nyo kaya nag glare na? meron naman po nabibiling replacement lens ng helmets.

Index ang helmet ko. Wala pa naman gasgas. I just bought it 2 months ago sa Caloocan. Yung P1800 ang binili ko. Wala lang akong tiwala makakita sa gabi. Lalo na pag umuulan. Kaya nga binubuksan ko na lang yung shield para malinaw ang tingin ko.

sir bili ka nalang ng lens na clear para gamitin mo during night time rides. mura lang. nasa 350 lang yata. index din helmet ko, yung lens ko yung smoked, ok sa araw kasi hindi masyado masisilaw pero nagagamit ko din kahit gabi. recently nga lang medyo lumabo konti kasi mdami na gasgas yung lens sa kaka punas.

Maskman, use Joy Liquid Detergent but don't use a scouring pad for it or it will scratch. Liquid is best kasi walang powder na maka scratch. Most dishwashing past ay merong ash na naka scratch. A very clean surface doesn't cause water to bead (I learnt in Chemistry class), water droplets will just slide away. Sometimes Maskman, after using Joy, I just run the visor in the faucet vertically, left to right at pagkatapos, halos walang tubig na didikit sa visor. Kunting trapo nalang sa top & bottow edges na merong few droplets.

If I ride in an afternoon rain or early evening, I use big clear goggles kasi tinted ang visor ko.

baka yung orgig pa na lens yan (iridium) yung parang salamin. . mahirap talaga makakita dyan lalo na pag gabi! bili ka nalang sir ng clear na lens or smoke! mas maganda ang visibility pag gabi!

ako index din ang orig color ng lense is smoked. pinapalitan ko ng clear so i can use it sa gabi at specially pag raining. pag maaraw ng she-shades nalang ako. important kasi naka close ang helmet sa gabi.

Yepp, the lenses are "disposable". They'll get scratched during use whether you you like it or not. If you feel that it's no longer safe to use, replace it with a new one. The prices are typically in the 600 to 800 bucks (HJC).

If I may add, get only the clear ones. If the sun's too bright during the day, wear sunglasses underneath. Never sacrifice night-time visibility for anything. The tinted ones are not meant for use at night. And if you open the shield to circumvent it, you'll run a risk of debris getting into your face and eyes.

i use EAGLE ONE Plastic polish and protectant. nagkakaron ng parang coat ang lens para mas dumulas ang tubig.

thank you :)

mahirap ang dark na lens sa gabi... lalo na yung may mga fingerprints at smudges... kumakalat ang glare...na parang star... i opted to buy HJC helmet kasi yung lens nya ay scratch resistant at optically correct... i have two lens, isang clear at isang smoke... i use rain-x para dumudulas ang mga patak ng ulan... sa pampunas naman, ginagamit ko yung essilor... hindi sya nakakagasgas, ito rin gamit ko sa mga CDs ko at sa salamin ko sa mata.... kung mapapansin nyo may mga dumi na oil based na kahit anong punas nyo hindi na natatanggal, much worse nagsistreaking pa yung dumi, or pag tapos mong hugasan tapos punasan mo ng tissue or flanela ay ang daming maliliit na balahibo or lint... essilor lang katapat, dry and wet wipe sya, lint and scratch free, oil and water absorbent and 100% efficiency after many washes... designed sya for highly sensitive lenses such as microscope lens, camera lens, laser lens etc... can be bought at any optical shop... magcanvass kayo, dahil sa nagiging aware na ang optical shop sa usage nito, yung iba ay minamahalan na... bought mine at P50 pesos lang dati, ngayon sa iba P100 to P200 benta nila... yung isang essilor na nabili ko for use only sa eyeglass ko ay P75 bili ko sa vission express sa SM.

zeus 508 gamit ko and one index for my girl, applied wax sa loob at labas ng lens, para pag napatakan ng tubig, walang butil butil. armor all ang gamit ko.

anong klaseng armor all??? meron na rin ba para pang glass or plastic clear lens???

young armor all na nasa 6-inch bottle na original (gamit din namin yung armor all glass cleaner and glass wipes) meron nito sa handyman, ganito na gamit dad ko dati pa. so far di pa naman sira visor ko, gamit ko na to for about a month

Hey guys, many thanks for your suggestions. Last night I drove from Quezon City to Baclaran at 3:00am. Hirap talaga ako sa shield ko, so I just flipped it up. Biibili ako mamaya ng bagong shield na clear at yung panglinis o protectant para maging scratch free ito.

One more question: How do you keep your helmet shield from being scratch free and finger print free? Do you wipe it all the time? What cloth is best?

maskman, why dont you use pranela cloth, its what optometrist use in eyeglasses lenses.

personally, i have 2 pairs of shields for my 2 helmets. clear & tinted. kung nightride, syempre yung clear gamit ko...

scratch prevention? i don't know. helmet shields, even the shell, are always prone to scratches. even fingerprints. we cannot just avoid it. always carry your helmet bag na lang so everytime you take your helmet off, into your helmet bag agad sya...

try mo yung CLEAR GLASS na brand or any glass cleaner which is ammonia based... cloth? flanel... or lampin ng bata :)

nice to ride under the rain, so far talagang water proof helmet ko, or lets say sprinkle proof, and yung shields still sprinkle proof sa armor all glass wipes, try nyo guys, works great

go get the cheapest hjc or zeus full face.. clear lens ang kasama nun.. baka magandahan ka pa sa clear lens ng mga yun keysa smoked lens ng index..

since were at it, where can i find tinted visors for zeus modulars? i have clear ones, m planning to get tinted ones for day time use.
thanks:)

problem ko rin ito. lalo na pag umuulan, yung water nag be-beads, i mean nag kukumpol. pag nailawan ay nagca-cause na mag scatter ng light pag timaan ng ilaw which greatly affects my visibility. pano kaya ma-prevent mag bead yung tubig. dati may naalala akong product na parang candle na iginuguhit sa lens then pupunasan mo,pag tinamaan na sya ng tubig yung tubig parang nare-repell. hindi ko na alam kung saan makakakita nun.

sa mga jeep alam ko effective ang sabon. :D

there's a product called RAIN X... check any autoshop or Ace Hardwares... this products repels rainwater to "stick" on your shields.

ty for the info!:)

ride safe!

Medyo na-solve ko na yung problem ng shield ko. What I did was to clean it with water then apply ordinary toothpaste (yung walang crystals) to both the inside and out of the shield by rubbing it gently then rinsing it off again with water. Then I used an eyeglass cloth to clean it dry. I learned this from my scuba diving instructors. It prevents fogging the mask and also acts as a sort of water repellant and cleaner. Mabango pa.
I'm not sure if the "Rain X" repellant will work on our shields coz it's designed for glass windshields. Plastic ang shields ng helmet natin.
Tama si kicker2 meroon nga noon panahon na binebenta sa mga car shows na parang kandila na inaaply para sa mga shields ng helmet para maging water repellant. Saan na kaya nabibili ito?

sa hjc recommended nila ang rain x sa shields, to repel water...

this is a bit bit late.probably nkabli k n ng replacement 4 your helmet lenses.. i only use armor all d2 sa aking very reliable index.in my case,i dont drive that fast at night.i go to work @ Bataan and i go home In Pampanga.minsan inaabot ako ng gabi sa hi-way.i'm using the "smoked" lens.so far, i haven't had any problems yet,kahit pg rainy days(& nights).mine is 1year old+ na.The keyword, bro, is DRIVE SAFELY.

OT lang po. Akala ko mahal ang helmet na INDEX?

@driedmango....Index helmet price starts at P1,500

nope... INDEX are actually economical helmets. they're priced same with their thailand competitors, CARTING & LEV3. mostly ranging from P1.5K to P3K... while INDEX has more models to choose from than CARTING and is more commercially available, i personally prefer CARTING.

re the topic... i keep 2 types of lenses. clear & tinted...

What cloth is best?

sir try mo yung 3m na microfiber or microtexx not sir about the price nga lang pero ok maganda pa sa pranela

Sir,
