im gonna have to say no on uv protection.

 

They do offer the Iriduim visor but even these do not have UV protection

 

you could just wear your shades with the helmet too....

 

bahhh, so i am cooking my poor eye balls!

I guess sunglasses it is, I just never liked the way it felt and it sometimes cause annoying distortion (refraction?)

 

The Iriduims are not cheap but if you use them you would not need any shades
and the sun light brightness gets blocked off really good i hate the bright light
due to my sensetive eyes

 

Moe you one of those people that wear shades at night too?!:crackup:

 

Ive always preferred iridium visors to smoked.
my favorite is the blue iridium.

 

I would definitely think the smoked visors are not UV protected. For some damn reason, my lips burn fairly easily and after a trackday, unless I forget to put on lipbalm, they're burnt.

 

install the breath guards that came with your lid

for those with already smoked lens. you can hit up a tint shop and see if they carry or get you some clear uv film so they can wrap your smoked lens with it.

iridium shields is darker but less light thru lens doesnt mean you wont get skin damage. its the uv rays that gets you

 

CW-1 Shield

CW-1 Shield
The all-new CW-1 shield is both wider and taller than the CX-IV that it replaces. In addition, the CW-1 shield protects SHOEI riders from 99% of the sun’s damaging UVA and UVB rays, and our three-dimensional injection-molding process ensures distortion free vision. Another advantage of the CW-1 shield is its ability to work in conjunction with SHOEI’s optional Pinlock system to deliver fog-free vision in even the most challenging conditions. The new CW-1 Pinlock lens is larger, and offers fog-free viewing to the very top of the helmet’s larger eye port.

thats the new visors for the new RF1100 and X12. if your still rocking the RF1000 and X11, im sure those dont have any UV ray protection

 

dang i want a x12/ rf1100

 

same i want a new rf1100 but waiting for more designs to come out. might even spring for a x12 if i like them more

 

i got the spectra shield bc it has 100% uv protection (at least advertised), and looks pretty cool

 

I just tinted my clear shield to either 20 or 35 i forget..works great but sucks at night.

 

i stand corrected!:crackup:
