hey, just got my sparks s07 helmet in and realized it just has a clear lens( was thinking it was suppose to come with a smoked lens too but that was a different brand helmet)

well i have two choices of colors,  
smoked tint, and silver mirror?

anyone have an pros/cons for these?  
like i’m sure the smoked tint would shade youre eyes from the sun better, and i also know the silver mirror would relect sun glare better?  
like in the sun, inthe rain, night driving…though i got the clean lens for that…  
which one would be better choice

i have a mirror finish lens on my helmet and it is fine. the smoke and the mirror pretty much block out about the same amount of sun. i have no visibility problems at all. i even ride with it at night haha

x2 even at night.

Just becareful sometimes it does pose a problem but what you can do is get a clear set of riding glasses and if it does get too dark just fip the visor up and ride with the glasses. I know a lot of guys that did that to eliminate the need to change out shields.

I have a dark smoke screen, kinda hard to see at night. Had a chome screen, from what I remember it was just as bad. So i bought HID’s lol
