It's because of the polarized glasses and the tint. Even cars with air conditioning have a slight tint on the windows and will give you weird effects.

Using polarized glasses through any plastic, including laminated safety glass on vehicles, helmet shields, etc has always caused the "rainbow" of iridescent effect. If you did not notice it before, it was probably because it was minimal and you were able to ignore it. If you did not experience it before, you are unique.

Its the polarized glasses. Even my stock shield has a weird cloudy affect around the edges when I have my sun glasses on.

Polarized glasses should not be worn when needing to look thru a windshield or face shield ...
