Helmet Visor Options???

[Bee3]

Hello all,

It’s time to replace the dark visor on my LH250. 
 

After recommendations.
Should I stick with the standard Gallet tinted/dark/whatever it’s called visor or try the chrome gradient ones that you can get??

Thanks in advance.

I guess that would be personal preference 

does anybody that you work with have the gradient lense so you can just look through it and see if you like it ?

That’s a good idea but I havnt come across anyone using one yet. 
 

Maybe I’ll just roll the dice and order one.

I have the Gallet 250 and used to have a gradient in a gentex.  Awful for winter ops, was getting glare off of the snow through the bottom of the lens.

Thanks. This was the info I was after!

Slightly off topic but does anyone use amber/yellow glasses when flying in the winter? I down sized to an LH050 with a dark visor but I'm considering finding some thin framed amber glasses to have for overcast days in the mountains

I only use the Amber lense on the helmet but I’m guessing it would be similar

Julbo makes some thin frame/arm (Ear cups still seal!) low light glasses that work very well.

Flat light, grey light, snow covered lakes, long lining … just yuck.   I went the other way around.  I have a yellow visor in my 050, and use a pair of thin framed Sunny’s when I need them.
