I got a Dark Smoke and thought it was to dark but it wasn't. Look dark from the outside but once you put it on it's not dark at all. Dark enough to keep the glare away but not dark enought where you can ride in shades and on cloudy days, even at evening hours. It was hard to put on the helmet because it was dark and I couldn't see the hole that the clip goes in, other then that it was a snap to put on. The lens was clear and without any defect. Great product from Shoei.
Yes, I recommend this product.

This is one great helmet. Granted this is my first helmet. I was looking for a helmet with white on it for visibility. This helmet didn't feel heavy and felt great. I highly recommend this helmet. The only issue is if you have it prop open, there is a hissing noise at higher speed, can be annoying but once it's close it's very quite. The chin guard kept my head very warm in the cold riding days.
Pros Great Value, Fashionable, Comfortable, Rugged
Yes, I recommend this product.

How dark is the dark tint? Live in the Pacific NW and it's not always that sunny plus there's lot of shades from trees.

Want to know if this is to dark for the overcast skies and rides with lotes of shades from trees. Can you see the road clearly as to avoid pot holes, bump and other obstacles? I'm concern that the road won't be seen as clearly as a clear lense.
