Thanks all for your ideas. I REALLY like the idea of applying a strip of window tint to the inside of the face shield. I also like the idea of using chromatic film, but I don't know where to buy it locally (and I HATE ordering stuff an having to wait for it).

I realize that but putting tint on a shield doesn't make any sense. At that point you are making it more or less a permanent tinted shield. ....ah nevermind

heheh yes your absolutely right, then you have a permanently tinted shield.

this stuff would still be my first choice if I had the problem the OP does.

PEP Boys $1.50 and probly be able to make two usable strips

stuff sticks like static cling... you can take it off roll it up and pocket it.

I was just looking at full face helments for the winter and found a company that has a flip down shield built into the helmet. Kinda cool if that is what you are looking for. It actual has a slide you push on top of the helmet to flip down the tinted shield on the inside.It only comes about halfway down the outer clear shield. I will try to find a link to it and post it later.
