Sun in the Face (Glare)

James · Jul 25, 2012

How do you guys deal with the sun glaring in your face (dawn/dusk)? Smash the visor down and look at the front wheel? Stick it towards a rut and hope for the best? Point it in the general direction of the jump and pin it? :shocked:

Had to hit that double pretty much blind. :bonk:

Different lenses? What kind do you have?

snowflake · Jul 26, 2012

I wear spy klutches, but other good brands are EKS and 100%

So what's the difference between them?

yamadogyz:
Tinted lenses

Extra dark tint? Never really tried those, wouldn't it make you loose detail?

nothing except for the lens, they're even the same color, just one has a tinted (mirrored) lens in it and the other has a clear lens

Earlier you'd said that you don't have different lenses.

My current lenses are all scuffed up and it's time for some new ones, might have to try a mirrored one.

I think i'd rather have the sun full on you.. than like in a trails.. When you are flying down a long trail and every other second it shines through.

There is a old rail road track that we ride to get to and from alot of trails. And usually on the way back to the truck its the sun is usually flicking through the trees and it eyephucks you :eek:

2 seconds with seeing jesus.. 2 seconds in shade with your eyes trying to focus.. then jesus... then focus....... Intill you are ready to just let go and hit a tree
