Yep Shoei now has a transition shield. Now I am going to have to purchase a new helmet.

I've been wanting one for my Shoei! Sweeeeeet! Now to justify breaking the budget...

Yikes! That is quite the price tag for what it does.

Yes and no. The standard, chrome tint version of that shield is almost $90, so an extra $60 for the transition ability doesn't sound too bad.

You can easily find most smoked shields for most brands (including Shoei) for $25-40 online, so anything approaching $100 or beyond seems comparatively steep in my book.

I have red some less than stellar reviews of these. Some say it has problems transitioning back and forth

Have any of yall looked at the E-Tint products? Electronic switched via a button for nearly every helmet for $150.

Seems like a better solution for similar money.

I've got 3 or 4 shields for my Shoei's. (clear and tint). It's not a big deal changing them out but having to carry the extra around with me to acclimate for daylight (or lack thereof) is what I'd like to avoid and is the biggest reason I want one. Hmmmm... St. Nick letter writing commencing...

My transition shields have always worked great.

You have a "transitions" shield ?

Darnit, this is only for the 1200s.

Are you guys talking about the Transitions brand face shield or just being funny? I thought it just came out

They have been out for the Bell helmets for a few years now.
