Choosing the Right Tint for Your Environment
The tint of your shield should act as a tool to match your environment. Consider the following guide when preparing for your next event:
-
Clear: Essential for night racing and indoor circuits.
-
Amber/Yellow: Suited for overcast skies, dawn, or dusk to help accentuate track features and improve contrast.
-
Tinted (Smoke): Helps eliminate glare during standard daytime driving.
-
Mirrored/Iridium: Provides the highest level of protection against intense sunlight and blinding glare.
Compatibility & Fitment Note

Care and Maintenance
To extend the life of your anti-scratch coating, clean the shield using only clean water and mild soap with a soft microfiber towel. Avoid using paper towels or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can create micro-scratches over time. Always inspect your shield before a race; replace it immediately if it becomes pitted or sustains deep scratches that could distort your vision under track lights.
