Are CHEAP visors worth it? Ali Express Visor Review (Part 1)

£8.70 delivered for a new motorcycle visor, worth it? My first Ali Express purchase was a visor for my Scorpion Exo 520 helmet. I was a bit dubious, and at the time of writing this, it has not been road tested for noise or visibility, but my initial impressions left me somewhat moderately impressed. We will see in Part 2 how it fairs on the road.

I bought a hjc rainbow mirrored visor for £25 had no certified mark (the standard hjc ones are £50) when it rained during the daytime, it distorted everything might aswell be blind folded. But my stock hjc one didnt distort anything.

Good to know dude.. it's rained all year in Wales and now I need some to test it, the sun is flat out lol

I'm not about to risk my face with a cheap visor from China , I doubt they're made to any standard and I'm not saying they are crap but I'd still rather buy the original from visor shop for 30 euro.Also I work in a phone shop and we have these nano gel screen protector sheets (Lensun , made in Japan) I put one across the visor and cut it to size , its hydrophobic and self healing and almost impossible to scratch. I do about 25,000km a year on the bike and I've not replaced my visor now in over 2 years were as before it was every 6 months due to wear and tear.

Good to know. Thanks for the comment. I am interested to know what safety tests these visors go through, so I am trying to find out. Cheers for the comment.

Be interesting to find out , but also expansive as testing is well ....destructive.

You do realize that everything in your house, work and items are made in China 😂

[@technodaz]

@@steve00alt70 Actually almost nothing I have is made in China , half my computer is made in malay/south korea, sure a lot of my electronic home controles are made in china but by American companies who also ensure quality control and standards, point being is just because its made in China does not mean its bad just that if your buying a visor from ali and its made by xyz who don't give a shit about your safety then yea sure play with your life , but If I buy it from visor shop it might be still made there but at least its being tested by eu safety standards like tuv on the way in and I'm at least a little confident its not going to shatter first time a pebble hits it.

Are these visors just to save your face from the rain and stop the wind blowing your fake eyelashes off, or do they serve a safety purpose? If so, how does the Alibaba express one fare if a stone kicked up square into it in comparison to the genuine one? 🤔

[@ShedTorque46]

Protection. Although no idea how much in comparison to a more expensive one. Fortnine did some tests on visors a while ago. Worth a watch. I presume these are safety tested to a standard, I just haven't found out which one yet. I'll soon find out.
