ECE helmet standard
The currently valid ECE R 22/05 helmet standard requires a light transmission of at least 80% for visors, so it can be used around the clock without any problems. Visors with a lower light transmission of 50-80% receive the addition „For daytime use only“, so are only suitable for use during the day.
Cleaning
As with the helmet, lukewarm water with some liquid soap should be used for cleaning the visor. The concentration of the soap should not be too strong as it could collect under the plastic parts and damage it.
Visor cleaner
There are special visor cleaners that are often used to clean the entire helmet. Again, you should not use too much of it to avoid damage to the rubber and plastic parts.
Drying
In order to subsequently dry the visor and avoid unwanted streaks, a lint-free, fine microfiber cloth should be used for this purpose.
Scratches
In no case should the visor ‚fast and easy‘ be wiped with the motorcycle glove or other unsuitable or dirty objects! This can lead to scratches especially in the case of coated visors. If a visor has strong scratches, it is recommended to replace it. On the one hand, the aging process is accelerated with scratched visors; on the other hand, scratches also present a safety risk precisely in the field of view. Especially mirrored visors („Spectra“) can scratch with careless treatment and thus create unwanted glare.
Softener
Visors contain so-called softener, which evaporate over the years, which is intensified by frequent use and UV light. As a result, the visor loses its flexibility and, in the event of an accident, it can even collapse and cause severe cuts in the face.
Exchange
The visor should be replaced after five years at the latest. For example you can find the production date of the SHOEI visors on the left side of the visor with a four-digit number string (month, year).

Road movie in colours
Our visors protect you from the weather, dirt and stone chips, and they also filter out >99% of the UV radiation (UV-A and UV-B). With a tint or mirror coating, they offer you additional glare protection and give your helmet a cool appearance.
Clear or contrast-enhancing visors, instead, provide a better view on the less sunny days of a motorcyclist's life, in the dark or in poor lighting conditions in adverse weather situations. Even commuting through the rainy city becomes a great road movie with the right visor!
You will find instructions for mounting and gently cleaning your visor in the manual that comes with every SHOEI helmet and SHOEI visor.
Every SHOEI helmet comes with a clear visor as standard. It fulfils all criteria of the test standard ECE-R 22.05 and shows the environment colour-neutral and distortion-free.
All SHOEI visors (except CJ-3 for the J-O and EX-Zero models) are equipped with mounting pins for an fog-retardant PINLOCK® lens.
Special racing visors are only shaped horizontally, not also vertically, to allow the use of tear-off films when used on the race track.

Visors with photochromic tinting function from TRANSITIONS® Adaptive Technology react dynamically to changing light conditions, making them real all-round visors. The grade of tint and the speed of darkening and brightening depend on the intensity of UV radiation, the angle of light incidence and the ambient temperature. The tint spectrum ranges from clear in darkness to medium tint in overcast or low-light conditions to strong tint in bright sunlight, comparable to our dark tinted visors. Darkening and lightening is slow and easy on the eyes, but may require the visor to be opened during abrupt light changes such as tunnel passages.
