Simpson helmet shields are offered in clear as well as stylish and functional tints. When ordering a shield for your racing or motorcycle helmet, keep these considerations in mind:

• Clear shields are generally used for night racing or very low light conditions

• Amber shields provide a minimal amount of tinting that's ideally suited to overcast weather

• Yellow shields are often used in dawn or dusk driving, as they tend to accentuate track features

• Tinted shields can help to eliminate glare during daytime driving

• High definition blue was first used by desert racers in dusty condition, but similarly to the amber shields it helps enhance contrast in cloudy conditions

• Some people find that mirrored shields block even more sunlight than tinted shields and Iridium shields provide the most protection from both sunlight and glare
