Can you get tinted tear offs?

I have a Shark helmet with a 3mm visor - I am guessing it will be expensive to replace with a tinted item .

It also has an anti-mist system (I think)

I wear my jeans inside my boots, my legs are too skinny so jeans fill the gap.

You got me on one...I do wear my trusty old Ray-Ban's under the clear shield...I do too much riding at night, so I don't waste time changing face shields..just leave the clear one on all the time. Besides, according to y'all, my "manky" old tank bag is enough of a fashion statement already

iridium visors were cool in the 90's wear black or silver if you insist, Not Me.

do not tuck your jeans into your bike boots, Never!

if you've got a yellow bike (hovis) dont wear yellow leathers, N/A

smoke or black screens are ok colours are not, Guilty. Nice Blue screen for me!

colour'd engine bolts are a no no, fit stainless or titanium instead, Not Me.

let a mate scuff your sliders, this is the one bit of bull**** allowed, No mates to do it for me.

dont go out in all brand new kit you'll look a flash tw#t with new sliders, See above.

dont wear sunglasses under a clear visor, Always Guilty.

dont fit grips with your bikes name on, Not Me

dont fit colour'd tyres to your bike, Not Me but thought about it!

race rep helmets are cool but the whole race rep kit isnt. No race rep kit at all.
No fake carbon either.
