Visor Arai GP-7 Mirror Silver

There are many different tints/colours to choose from - the right visor under the right conditions has a major impact on how well you see!

Also keep in mind that visors wear over time, and small scratches gradually reduce your vision. We recommend replacing your visor every year or every other year.

Which tints you prefer is largely a matter of personal preference. Below is a short guide to the different characteristics of each tint.


*Red
Arai's red visor is essentially a darker visor that has been coated with a red/oil-coloured surface.

Red helps you distinguish colours and improves visual sharpness.
It suits medium to bright days. A good choice on sunnier days, and it also works in poorer light conditions.

*Blue
Blue visors are essentially dark visors with a blue surface.
They have a slightly lower light transmission than the red-tinted and mirror-coated visors, and suit sunny days

*Green
Green visors are essentially dark visors with a green surface. The green tint gives you better depth perception and reduces eye fatigue on sunny days.
Recommended for sun and changeable cloud cover.

*Silver
Silver-tinted visors have a light transmission midway between dark and smoke-tinted.
Thanks to the reflective mirror surface, mirror visors are better at preventing you from being dazzled by sun glare etc.

Silver visors have a distinct silver surface seen from the outside, but are experienced by the rider as a pair of medium-dark sunglasses.
Colours are muted with this visor, but contrast still comes through quite well.

*Clear
Clear or untinted visors are recommended for low light at dawn and dusk, or on very rainy days.
This visor is standard, and you should have one for every helmet.

*Dark
A dark visor is comparable to a pair of really dark sunglasses.
This suits days with bright, strong sun and blue sky.
Dark visors have significantly reduced light transmission and remove some of the colours, so they should not be used on 'partly sunny' days.
A smoke-tinted visor is recommended for that instead.

*Smoke
Smoke-tinted visors reduce light by around 50%, and they are very good for days with changeable sun or weaker sunlight.

A smoke-tinted visor is fairly forgiving in poor light and works in many circumstances.
Smoke should be one of your standard visors.
