Afaik Jersey and the other channel isles arent actually part of the uk,but are classed as such for the purposes of import/export etc. :-/

They have British post codes and currency is GBP, but... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom

I use(d) a Fog City Hyper Optiks insert like this (not necessarily the cheapest supplier!) and found it superb. The reaction of the shade change was quick enough and has the added benefit of reducing fogging

I'd recommend it to anyone, and it also eliminates the hassle of needing a clear visor spare "just in case" the weather turns

So they just clip to the inside of the visor? Got something like that at the moment, an anti-fog one. Does the job well.

How much do these things tint by?

Pity they dont do reactolite visors like they do specs  :-/

Mine had to be stuck to the inside, but it's a permanent fit. They may do a clip fitting for your helmet

As for tinting... My answer is enough! I can be quite photo-sensitive sometimes but had no issues whatsoever. The reaction is quick enough and it goes reasonably dark, varying with the brightness of the light.

Pity you're not a bit closer to me or you could have had a look at mine... Although I haven't got a bike (currently) I did keep all the gear ready for the next one

From what I recall, tinted is allowed in daylight, but not as light level falls.

Thats why I tend to carry my clear one with me when I go out, so I can swap back to clear if I'm later back or the weather changes.

Legalities aside, it isn't any fun to have dark tints on in low light.

If you do use sunglasses, I'd ensure they are cheap plastic lenses, preferably with flexible frames.

Pattern tinted visor is cheap enough, and to can get special bags for clear visor to you carry it under your jacket

Not so,its similar to regs. on car windows,a certain percentage of daylight must come through the visor.
Basically, lightly tinted visors are legal but dark visors which are a common sight(I have one on one of my helmets)are illegal to sell or use on public roads at any time.
