Not much darker. Unless you're talking about tinted tear-offs.

i personally use a dark iridium. it works great in the day even when the sun is right in front of you, and you can also use it at night so i don't have to change it out for some late night riding.

Yep. You see them flapping around on the track surface sometimes during a race.

i know the tear offs are mainly for road racing, but i am thinking about getting em for my long commutes. i ride 200+ every sat. going back and forth from OC to SD. kinda pricey though if i rip em off every commute.

How dirty is your visor getting? Try tucking a little lower on the highway.

Bring a cloth to clean your visor when you stop.

Kind of. Sold one, decided to keep one, and the VMoto (dirt helmet) is still up.

I have a buttload of Shoei visors though - two clear, two dark tinted, two iridium blue, an orange/hi-vis, and one clear with tear-off posts.
