Might be caused by some condensation. Have you cleaned the visor recently? If so, water may have got underneath the insert. Try taking the insert out and give a clean and make sure it's dry and smear free before putting it back on the visor.
What colour's the tint? Just a light shade of black?
If that doesn't work, take it back to where you bought it and see if they'll change it for you..

Or it could be caused by high altitude when you stand up

Could well be condensation, my Arai visor gets like that when I kept changing the Pinlocks over from clear to dark etc.

The best solution is to get both the pinlock & visor utterly, spotlessly clean and bone dry, put them back together and leave the Pinlock in place.

Well you never know... it is Dave. He probably got sidetracked by some high altitude sickness
