The photochromic visor is an automatic darkening feature that adapts to the intensity of sunlight (UV light), allowing for comfortable riding in various lighting conditions without the need to change the visor. This unique technology offers several key benefits:

1. Versatility: The photochromic visor can automatically adjust its tint, making it possible to ride in cloudy weather, bright sunlight, and even in the dark, all while maintaining a clear and comfortable view.

2. UV Protection: The "photochromic" mechanism reduces 99% of the harmful UV rays that can be damaging to both eyes and skin, effectively acting as a variable sunscreen for the eyes.

3. Temperature Sensitivity: The speed at which the visor can change its tint is influenced by temperature, with warmer conditions allowing the molecules to move more quickly and thus change the tint faster. In good weather, the visor can transition from a very clear state to its maximum tint in just 40 seconds.

This photochromic visor is a popular aftermarket option for K1 S, K3 SV, and K-5 S helmets, providing riders with enhanced versatility and protection.

The photochromic shields work by undergoing chemical reactions in response to the presence or absence of ultraviolet light. When exposed to UV light, the shields will gradually darken, and when the UV light is removed, such as when entering a building, the shields will become clear (or almost entirely clear) again.

The speed at which the photochromic shields transition between light and dark states is not only temperature-dependent but also influenced by the intensity of the UV exposure. On a particularly bright and sunny day, the shields can reach their maximum darkness in around 20 seconds, with full activation taking approximately 2 minutes.

The key features of these photochromic shields include:

UV Protection: Blocks 99% of both UVA and UVB rays, providing comprehensive protection for the eyes. Impact Resistance: The shields are designed to be impact-resistant, ensuring safety and durability.

It's important to note that the photochromic performance can be influenced by factors such as temperature, UV exposure, and the rider's posture. Users should be mindful of these factors to ensure optimal performance and protection.
