Visor Arai CK-6 Blue

Original visor from Arai, adapted for the Arai CK-6 karting helmet.
Your visor protects against wind and, above all, against eye injuries in a crash.

There are many different tints/colors to choose between — the right visor under the right conditions has a big effect on how well you see!

Also keep in mind that visors wear over time — small scratches that together give worse vision. We recommend replacing your visor every year or every other year.

Which tints you prefer is largely a matter of personal preference; below is a short rundown of the properties of each tint.

*Red
Arai's red visor is basically a darker visor that has been coated with a red/oil-colored surface.

Red helps you distinguish colors and improves visual acuity.
Suited for medium to bright days. A good choice on sunnier days, and it also works in poorer light conditions.

*Blue
Blue visors are basically dark visors with a blue surface.
They have a light transmission slightly lower than the red-tinted and mirror-colored visors and are suited to sunny days.

*Green
Green visors are basically dark visors with a green surface. The green tint gives you better depth perception and reduces eye strain on sunny days.
Recommended for sun and changing cloud cover.

*Silver
Silver-tinted visors have a light transmission midway between dark and smoke visors.
Thanks to the reflective mirror surface, mirror visors are better at preventing you from being blinded by sun glare, etc.

Silver visors have a distinct silver surface seen from the outside, but are experienced by the wearer as a pair of medium-dark sunglasses.
Colors are muted somewhat with this visor, but contrasts still come through fine.

*Clear
Clear or uncolored visors are recommended for low light at dawn and dusk, or very rainy days.
This visor is standard, and you should have one for every helmet.

*Dark
A dark visor is comparable to a pair of really dark sunglasses.
This suits days with strong, bright sun and blue sky.
Dark visors have significantly reduced light transmission and remove some of the colors, so it shouldn't be used on "half-sunny" days.
A smoke visor is recommended instead for that.

*Smoke
Smoke visors reduce light by about 50%; they're very good for days with changing sun or weaker sunlight.

A smoke visor is fairly forgiving in poor light and works in many circumstances.
Smoke should be one of your standard visors.
