Best Powersports Helmet Shields of 2025

"I love the dark tint, but I had an issue with the visor popping out on the right side. It dangled a bit. However, after getting a replacement, it works great and is very secure. The first one must have been defective."

"This shield is excellent for sunrise and sunset riding. It significantly reduces glare compared to my original clear shield, and it fits better too!"

"I found the perfect addition to my Bell qualifier helmet. It fits like a factory shield, looks good, and is easy to put on and take off. It's excellent for days that aren't sunny."

“I absolutely love my Arai helmet (Signet X) and was initially disappointed about the lack of a photochromic shield. However, after using this shield for several thousand miles, I found I didn’t miss it at all. The biggest advantage is being able to flip up the shield easily with one hand for a clear view when the sun is overhead or when I’m in shadows. It feels well-made, although the eyebrow vents could be better, but it's not enough to affect my rating. An unexpected benefit was when a large bug hit my face shield early in a ride, obstructing my vision. I just tilted up the shade until I could clean it at my next stop. Although I know other manufacturers offer internal drop-down visors, I prefer not to compromise safety by removing EPS foam. In summary, this shield adds value to an already expensive helmet, and I’m excited to see if it fits future models.”

“I find this shield to be a must-have accessory! It eliminates the hassle of using sunglasses or swapping in a clear shield when the sun goes down. Initially, it was a bit tricky to operate, but after reading the instructions, it became easy. When I ride with the tinted portion up, it does catch a little wind, but chances are I’ll be slowing down in such situations. I love the look, utility, and the fact that it works with pinlock fog shields. If you're considering getting one, just do it—you won't regret it!”

“The shade mechanism is fantastic, and I found the shield easy to install after watching a YouTube video. I did take off one star because the venting mechanism can be a bit fiddly and isn’t easy to adjust while riding. Other than that, it fits well and is thicker compared to off-brand visors, which I appreciate.”

“I absolutely love how this visor enhances my helmet's look! I’m so happy I spent $45 on this visor instead of buying a new helmet with one I didn’t like.”

“The visor came with a 'burnt' mark on the side, which I couldn’t remove no matter how hard I tried. Despite that, it’s decent and the fade color is great for blocking the sun.”

“I really needed a tinted visor to replace the clear one on my LS2 because of scratches. This one fits perfectly, looks great, and provides lots of eye relief.”

"When I wear this shield in the sun, I feel loved! Visibility is comfortable and clear. It locks right in place and fits 95% like the original, allowing me to enjoy the natural scene without losing my perspective. Last night, I rode home around midnight, and the visibility was better than my previous dark helmet."

"I bought a HJC CL-16 Hellion helmet and immediately ordered this dark smoke shield. Unfortunately, I was huge disappointed. It installed fine, but the shield does not flip up like the original clear one. The peg/pin doesn't match, so I'm returning it. I wish I could find an exact match for my helmet model."

"Product was as described. The tint is comfortably dim, and I can use it at night. During the day, colors remain vibrant and clear, making everything feel slightly overcast. I wish it had a pinlock feature like my clear shield, but the visibility is excellent. If it doesn't move smoothly, check the alignment; it makes a big difference!"

"I found that the shield fits perfectly on my helmet. However, it's a bit too dark for nighttime use, but during the day, it works great!"

"Switching out to a clear shield for night riding was a breeze. I'm really happy with my purchase!"

"The quality is decent; it didn’t fit as snugly as the original, but it works fine overall. I’d consider buying this again if needed."

"I found this anti-fog insert to be exceptionally effective. My ride this morning was in 34-degree weather, and I experienced zero fog on my visor. I’m definitely planning to purchase this product again, though I wish the lens was crystal clear. It’s about 90% transparent, which isn’t ideal for my vision while riding."

"The installation was a breeze for me, especially after watching the instructional video. The quality and performance are impressive! When the visor is closed, the insert is barely noticeable, which I really appreciate. I debated between a 4 and 5-star rating, settling on 4 because I wish it was slightly larger to cover the whole shield, but it doesn’t significantly affect its functionality."

"I’ve been using this insert on my Sedici Strada II Primo helmet, and I had a smooth installation experience. I recommend watching the video included with the instructions. Although the photochromic feature is mid-level, so I still need sunglasses in bright sunlight, the insert does create a glare. However, it’s a great backup for night rides when I forget to swap visors."

"I appreciate the good quality and how it fits my helmet perfectly."

"I was disappointed that the visor is deeply tinted rather than just mirrored. It wasn't what I expected, so I had to return it."

"I bought two visors, but both had small chips and scratches from the chrome. I'm hoping to get them replaced."

"I really like how it looks, but it’s too dark for riding at night. I wish it had said that in the description."

"I received a factory replacement for my Shoei Neotec 2, and it arrived well protected and in perfect condition. It fits perfectly."

"I rated the installation as 4-stars. The product quality is great, but the challenges arise from Shoei's design rather than the shield itself. Overall, I think it's a good quality product at a good price."

"While this fits my helmet well, I've noticed much more wind noise compared to the original face guard. The installation was a bit of a hassle due to the Shoei design."

"This works great at reasonable speeds. No draft in my eyes or anything. I'm curious to see how it performs on longer rides."

"I snapped it onto my AHR helmet perfectly. The snaps feel very secure. The foam seal across the top is a nice detail that should eliminate wind noise. The shape and tint are excellent compared to a longer full face visor, and the price is very reasonable. If it's too short, I can always order another."

"After installation, I noticed the snaps weren't snug. They were so loose that the shield lift feature wouldn't work without popping out of the snaps."

"I have an HJC CL-17 helmet, and this visor fits perfectly. I appreciate how lightly tinted it is; I can wear sunglasses underneath during the day and still see well at night with the visor down. A quality purchase for sure!"

"Changing the visor was one of the easiest tasks I've done. It completely transforms the look of my helmet. I've even used it at night, and while it’s a bit dark, visibility is still decent. During the day, it’s crystal clear!"

"I really love this visor! The tint is just right, allowing me to ride without sunglasses, yet it’s not overly dark. It fits my CL-17 well, just a couple millimeters off, but that’s negligible. Installation was a breeze!"
