Partly cloudy means it'll be partly tinted. Full sun means it'll go fully tinted and at night it'll remain clear.

What's the catch? There is none, except the price, which is justified by not having to lug another shield with you or stuff sunglasses into your helmet. The only real downside is the first minute after leaving the noonday sun and entering a tunnel, at which point you can either open the shield and activate your "safety squint," or just deal with it, and for every other instance enjoy the automatically adapting tint of the best upgrade shield money can buy.

Transitions Photochromic technology allows this visor to automatically change from clear to dark depending on ambient light conditions. The process works when photochromic dyes embedded into the lens or shield react to UV light, changing levels of darkness with the sun. Read More Read More
