My last couple helmets I have had the static cling sun shield, available online at motorcycle outlets, cost about $16, and disappeared when the helmet was trashed, or crashed. I wanted another, but figured there had to be a better answer than another $16 and shipping. None of the big box stores had static cling sun screen, or even the auto parts stores I stopped at. I finally entered static cling sun shield into google this morning, and Toys-R-Us came up as a place to buy them for back seat windows when kids are in a car seat. I picked some up on the way home, used a yard stick and razor knife to slice off about an inch worth, and since we had a sunny 85 degree day, I decided to take a little ride out to beautiful historic Buncum, Oregon. The roads to get out here are beyond description.
This held up well at speed, and survived some pretty good sized bug splatters, but I stopped and inspected it at a wide place in the road by Applegate Lake, right on the California/Oregon border.
It holds well, and works great, a slight tilt of the head gets the sun into the shaded area of your visor. I think I've used about one inch out of one of the 22 inch sheets, so I think I'll be covered for any new helmet purchases in the future, and can also cut a bunch for the top box to give away.
It was $5.99 for this two pack, not bad, for enough material to make 35 or 40 strips. There is a white logo on one end of the sheets.
I was in a hurry and just put it on the outside of the shield. I'll probably take the shield off later, clean everything up and put it inside. Works great, and did I mention... It's Crash Tested (the box says so) and, it's cheap?
