SamuiAddict Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 (edited) Bit strange this one. I've got a decent Index helmet with visor. Fit nice and snug but when I've got the visor down my vision seems slightly distorted, almost very slightly magnified or something. It makes me feel very uncomfortable when riding so I just put it straight back up again. I tested it by putting the visor half way down so I could look through the visor and then underneath - and theres a definite change between what I'm seeing through the visor and without. I've give it a google but can't find anything about this etc. Anyone ever experienced something like this before or got any advice? Thanks Edited December 3, 2021 by SamuiAddict Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubascuba3 Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Index is a cheap make, buy a better quality one, Real is a step up, but I bought a Shark and it's very good 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take it back to the shop and get another visor try a tinted one. I had a Index helmet when I first came here 20 years ago now I have only a few Shoei helmets. So if you can't see well change the visor first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post properperson Posted December 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 4, 2021 Have you removed the plastic film that the helmet comes with it, to protect it in transit ?? 2 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieH Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 If you removed the film on it and you still have an issue, and assuming this is a NEW helmet, take it bck or just exchange the visor for another, they are not expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwill Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 NO! Never remove any stickers or film from an item. It no longer looks new then. Just joking sort of. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tropposurfer Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Buy a good quality helmet and this won't happen. I have an AGV full-face with both clear and tinted visors ... I wear multi-focal glasses and sunnies and never had any sense of distortion or magnification for this beautiful Italian helmet. The chap who mentioned Shark helmet recommends a really good brand too ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
