I can't deal with carrying an extra visor (one tinted, one clear) and sometimes don't have pockets for sunglasses.
This seems like it might be a decent alternative.

Any reviews?

No reviews, but I bet you could just get some tint from one of the rolls at the auto parts store for like $2 bucks and do that yourself.

I have one of those!

This is a silly question: are they rated for highway speeds? I kinda assume so, but not sure.

Yeah, right.
Next you'll have me go snipe hunting and replacing my blinker fluid with a left handed screwdriver.

This reminds me of the brilliant idea my team owner that I raced for had....put a maxi pad in the forehead of your helmet to stop sweat from dripping in your eyes...I saw this and laughed for over an hour..

Over an hour? (http://www.bestdesignever.com/ducati/confused.gif)

Ryan, it's good to see you posting again. When are you going to come out and hang with us? How's the baby, btw?

a maxi pad would do the trick, but it's prolly not worth the razzing you'd take after!

Hi Ryan!

maxi pad? a large helmet or a tiny head? well, no threat of toxic shock, right?
