Default Visor Help Please

Ok I need a helmet that can be fitted with a tinted visor.
I need the tinted visor due to the fact i have light sensitivity in my eyes.
However, I dont want a black tint (but if its all i can get then fine)
For football, I wear a blue tinted visor. It takes the sunlight out so I dont have a problem, but at the same time, doesn't take away from the colour or vision. I'm able to wear the blue visor at night and see fine.
Based on the fact that I will be downhilling when its dark out, I'd rather a visor that still has visibility in the dark, instead of having to take it out and put it in all the time.
Thanks for the help in advance

go to an auto tint shop. most have any color and different shades of black that you want.

oh, and you can fit any helmet with a visor so pick one you like/are comfortable with.

all it takes to make a visor is some .030 lexan, a sharpie, and scissors.

a charly like visor has too many curves to put tint on right while keeping it cheap. make one.

where could one purchase .030 lexan and how comparable is it to a 2 liter bottle plastic?

i am fairly certain that that will be a specific tint your best bet is probably an auto accessories store.

coke bottle works fine as well. lexan from a plastic shop is just more clear to look through and works a ton better when you wanna tint it.

I never had a problem... I wear regular glasses my every waking moment. I ride motorcycles and ATVs. My fullface helmets never gave me issues.

the only problem with that argument is that it is way too subjective, different helmets fit different ways, and some people just have big ass heads haha

Maybe try sleeker sunglasses, I know mine donīt fit so well under my full face, but that's cus they are quite chunky! Some sleeker sunglasses might be cheaper than getting a new helmet.
