Tac Visor Review: Day/Night Anti-Glare Car Visor

[@SubZeroGil]

Love your unbiased reviews. Please keep it up and don't sellout. That's why you're the best As Seen On TV reviewer out there.

[@Freakinreviews]

I appreciate it!

[@MrKylePopovich]

He seems like a decent human. He'll do what he will to make the money he needs but I don't see him as greedy (taking x money in place of x amount of ads). Thanks Mr. White!!

[@pdfico]

Not sure Anyone should be listening to a guy who took 24 hours and needed to read the instructions to figure it out he had that thing in backwards I mean there’s literally only two ways it can go on and he chose the wrong one and filmed an entire review. I mean Come on

[@stevethea5250]

@@MrKylePopovich If you’ve driven several vehicles, you’ve probably noticed that some vehicle windshields are equipped with a tinted strip on the windshield. The strip can either be blue that fades out as it gets lower, or it may be a pixelated strip that fades the lower it goes. These tint strips are usually around four to six inches in height and stretch the whole length of the windshield. The purpose of tint strips The tint strip on the windshield is actually known as a shade band. Its purpose is simple: to provide protection from the sun’s glare in that pesky spot just below your roof line and just above the visor. That spot is notorious for being difficult to block when you are driving into the sun shortly before sundown. The reason the shade band is only four to six inches in height is so it doesn’t obstruct or obscure your vision when you are driving in normal traffic. If the shade band stretched any further down, it could cause a distraction to some drivers or make it hard to see traffic lights at an upward angle. If your windshield doesn't have a shade band, it's important to get one. It's not mandatory on all vehicles nor is it required if your windshield was originally equipped with one, but it can prevent annoying glare from hard to block spots.

Ordered two tac visor sets. Received different visors than shown on TV. On TV they show an easy clip that attaches on top and bottom. The ones I received clip on one side of visor. Clip immediately broke. I now have a set of Tac visor that I have to hold in my hand if I wanted to use it.SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!

[@danvan318]

Whenever I see the “As Seen On TV” logo I know to pass on it. 95% of that stuff is total crap.

[@georgeboehmler7211]

That is so funny, that is the exact number I was about to comment

[@slimkt]

The reflective properties killed it for me. My sunglasses might block some of my peripheral vision but it’s not nearly as distracting as a reflection. Either way, love how thorough the review is, as always!

[@dochollowood5763]

yep, another piece of junk for tards

[@2centchick]

It definitely seems to help during the day, but I really didn’t notice a difference at night. Thanks for the review!

[@ShinKyuubi]

I got the other product he mentioned and I'll SWEAR by the night vision. I live in the south and not near the bigger cities of my area..when you're driving late at night or early in the morning before sun up and somebody with LED headlights comes round a corner and has their high beams on and refuses to turn them down since they didn't notice you till the last dang second cause of said corner or they are just a jerk, that thing has saved my eyes and my life a time or two on a sharp curve. Sure there are fingerprints and a tint to the color but I'll deal with it cause it has helped me big time in the cases I've mentioned. When you're in the city where there are street lights and lots of cars it's not really needed, back roads with almost no street lights and low traffic? Oh yeah then it's handy and worth the money.

[@michaelshultz2540]

ShinKyuubi you are correct as to the amber filter it tricks your eyes into adjusting to bright light faster keeping you from being blinded. Read my comment .

[@YG-zv3me]

Yeah that happens to me a lot where I get all excited to try out a new mod or accessory and don't RTFM correctly. @ 1:44 you can clearly see the diagram showing the mounting clip/clamp inserted on the hinge side of the car's sun visor. Thanks for the video!

[@larryw1279]

For shorter people, you can flip the visor down, then put the TacVisor on and it will be much lower than when the car visor is up. Just an idea that has worked for others

[@Turk_2023]

I would like to see the night visor on a 2 lane dark road and how it works aganst on coming traffic that have brights on

[@christinesaraco153]

Turk yes!! I want to see that too. It would be great if it worked on the brights in the opposite lane - and a bonus if it cleared that up enough to see a deer at night (which is really why I was considering buying this in the first place)

[@TBirdBabe88]

Thats a great request i too would like to see that.!🌞✌🍀🍁

[@sooolson3164]

that's a no from bailey!!! it's official

[@ScenicFilms]

I bought something similar awhile back. I put it on incorrectly, but it helps me better, as I am 5'1". I recently had occasion to use it because the sun was very low on the horizon, and the visor was useless. However, since I put it on incorrectly, it helped extend the visor to where it cut down on the glare and the sun in my eyes.

[@eaglesviper79]

i really appreciated how clean that windshield was.

[@robinvaldez]

Hi, James! I'm 21 from MN and I found your channel a few weeks ago and I can't stop watching! I tell everyone about your great reviews and how they're comprehensive and fair. I'm a retail manager and I love being able to tell my customers who buy ASTV products what they can look forward to or watch out for with their items. I also think you have a calming voice. Thanks for another video!

[@Freakinreviews]

Thanks Robin! I do appreciate it :-)

[@remb9614]

I’ll say for me car lights blind me and my eyes don’t adjust very fast. Having the yellow tint just helps from getting blinded. Regular sunglasses will do the same but then everything is too dark, hence the yellow tint instead of black

[@user-wo7rp6bc6t]

Jake B agree

[@lizbz]

To me the yellow night vision actually looks like it has more glare. Weird.

[@RickPMandel]

Something else to mention, after a short while, the hinges, for the most part, stop working, so no matter how many times you flip the visor up, in seconds, it falls again. In a way, because you're always fighting with the visor, it's as dangerous as not having anything, or, maybe worse.

[@longassdays]

my wife and i have night driving glasses for the purpose of reducing the blue light from the new headlights, and it helps tremendously on vision at night. you notice it more when you live in the boonies like us. but we have used the old visor and did not care for it at all.

[@aaronyash]

What brand name are you using.

[@zerolovesslipknot]

damn, well now i HAVE to subscribe! i feel like this was a total honest review, which are hard to find. unbiased and simple, and a pretty short video too! thank you for this video!

[@enzo041178]

I was thinking of getting something like this but now I am very skeptical on it and I don't think I even want to spend the money for it. I'm thinking I might just stick using my sunglasses during the day.. I love your review thank you so much for putting it out because I was feeling lost about ordering any of these products to try to reduce glare at night or during the day... I wear prescription sunglasses during the day but at night I'm still feeling lost because there is that glare from headlights but nothing seems to work at this point...

[@Cory_Dora]

Just saw this commercial and it looks so tempting. I struggle with headlights at night and glare. The first place I came after seeing the commercial was to your review! You are a Saint!

[@amberm8771]

You should have so many more subscribers!

[@Freakinreviews]

That would be great, but I'm pretty happy to just be where I am! Thanks Amber.

[@kingpickle3712]

Amber M I agree.

[@foulchild]

I don't think those yellow glasses are for reducing glare. I think they're for reducing eye-strain from blue light when it's dark out. Probably pretty useful if you're driving for quite a distance, and don't want your eyes to get tired. I don't know why they'd advertise those as reducing glare, it's more like what "night mode" does for your iphone or ipad.

[@kimberlydalsanto4235]

Thank you very much! This helped with my decision whether to buy for my husband with sensitive eyesight to glare & headlights...

[@humanbeing5219]

Great job. I couldn't see anything today while I was driving because of sun glare. Gave me a massive scare.

[@biz0r07]

if Bailey doesn't like it, I don't like it.

[@yvonnejvdp]

So glad I watched your well done review before going ahead and ordering it from a Canadian TV ad. My decision is not to get it as it'll be more exspensive with the Canadian dollar excghange plus shipping cost. Not worth it. Thanx a heap

[@briteidea08]

This is good if you don’t have your glasses handy. Such as the day started cloudy or before dawn. Also good for nighttime driving in construction areas. All those strobe lights and blind you.

[@Tiburon1975]

It reflects light the opposite direction too ,when the Sun Visor is used .its like someone shining a mirror in your face it’s blinding.

[@pammym190]

U do such a great job James!!👍😃 Hi Bailey!! 😘 I’m sending u a hug!!! Ooooh ok.. James too!!🤗

[@cyclingtj]

Bought it mainly for night driving. Put on my visor and drove to the store. Came out of the store and the visor was on my seat. The plastic clip had broken within a half hour.

[@deedeebee7729]

I've been waiting for this review. Good and thorough. When jumping on the 215 going west in the afternoon that sun gets pretty harsh. Definitely going to order it. Thank you again 🤗

[@jamesross6485]

DID YOU GET ONE? DID IT HELP I KNOW THE 215 WEST BOUND TOO WELL SCARY

[@kajuday56]

I live in Indiana and drive to work around 5:45 in the mornings and 7:00 at night. Around 8 months it’s really dark around those hours. Many people do not and or will not dim their lights and using the amber shade it doesn’t hurt my eyes. So it helps me. During the daylight the sun bothers my eyes so I use my prescription sunglasses and the sun shade and it helps my eyes.

[@youngimages2000]

I got that Exact visor, it didn’t do crap, I still have to use the regular visor. I’m guessing it does good thru the camera lens, and the pic on the front of the box shows All glare gone! Nope, not at all. I kept it tho because it extends the visor a bit, and that’s about it.

[@ws.bh.2462]

FYI : see ... your test Tac visor warped too as mine. Reason for it to change shape was it was made with two layered materials. My bubbled under high heat in my car. The mirror side (layer) was the side to face out to cut down reflection.

[@janeconley4579]

I was going to suggest that for shorter people, can you clip it to the other end of the visor so,that the visor can come down and then the Tac Visor could be lowered as well to bring it down even lower? Just a thought. Appreciate the review.

[@mlg445]

Jane Conley I'm a little under 5, and i just use a folded throw blanket to sit on, it boosts me up a few inches. I dont need it to drive, but hey, more visibility is welcome.

[@anthonynatale8416]

Got it for Christmas. Junk. Don't bother with it. Should've said "brought to you by ronco" on the box. Way too many cons vs pros.

[@barstad-9591]

With the yellow, it just looks yellow. Bailey did look pretty cute though. The day version looked like it worked fairly well, except when the sun is low between the bottom of the visor and the steering wheel. When I initially saw that you were doing this product, I was hoping that it was something that could be used as a visor extension to provide coverage for the area where your mom and I have difficulties. That way one could put the car visor down and then the TacVisor to fill the gap. And I completely agree that this product looked like the original visor product and not the prototype product. Thanks for the review.

[@shadcovert1160]

Is that a Las Vegas Knights pin? Awesome! I grew up in Portland, going to Winterhawks games with Dad. Now, my Father and Step Mom live in Vegas and are big Knights fans!

[@Rnzlr]

I like how in the commercial they show the sun glaring straight in the face of the driver and then they put the tac visor down and the angle of the sun is now behind or above the driver.

[@RonnieSixx]

I've used yellow shades for years riding my motorcycle and they do come in handy in rural areas where the is not a lot of light, county roads, old state highways, etc.

[@gatsby841]

I am an Uber driver and used the Tac Visor on NYE. My impression is that the night visor dramatically lowered eyestrain and I was able to stay our later. I admit that the normal night driver probably will not feel the difference, but if you drive professionally at night or you are taking an overnight road trip, the tac visor will help.

[@toml.8210]

I will pass on this, and keep using my red polarized clip-on eyeglass filters.Yellow is probably better in fog, but red is better for night driving.

[@carolchristie8514]

If u r short, use a pillow which I always do to see over the stirring wheel. Yes, I bought it and will be trying it out tomorrow.

[@LS1007]

I wear prescription glasses but don’t have prescription sun glasses. I wear a good pair of polarized fishing glasses with amber( not yellow) lenses and can see just fine while driving. This product may help some people that need to wear prescription glasses while driving. Good honest review, something not seen too often on You Tube.

[@schoolsgirl]

Without having to read all the comments; If you are short just put a pillow or wedge on your seat. You should be using one anyway if you can't see over your steering wheel :)

[@bbytj]

This is my second time visiting your chanel looking at reviews. Thank you so much for taking alot into consideration with your honest reviews and looking at it from different views/uses. As well as considering other people, including your mum! Keep up the good work! From Sydney Aus. Subbed!

[@patriciodasilva7902]

I like it because I wear prescription glasses, and it works about as well as sunglasses so I don't have to purchased prescription sunglasses. The yellow for night doesn't work at all. As for the 'reflection', it's like mild tinnitus, you don't really notice it until something or someone brings it to your attention.

[@elkabong6429]

Daytime yes, nighttime, no. The tac glasses are a bust, too. I've tried similar glasses at night and they are useless for anti-glare purposes. Thanks for the thorough comparison. Bailey the pup made the review!

[@kevinfirouzan1121]

I noticed the night time visor is different between the older and newer models. The old one is amber yellow and slightly distorted, while the new one is clear yellow and not distorted. To add, there is a fuzziness around the light which passes through on the old model, whereas it is very slight on the newer model.

[@davidp2888]

I might suggest raising/lowering the Tac Visor from the side rather than the bottom. It might make them less distracting. Very thorough review as always.

[@Alvan81]

Thanks for the review and information! If the camera is set to auto-exposure adjustment, it's adjusting itself to excess glare so it's not the same. I notice that on all the vid reviews.

[@berry186]

I would put a small piece of clear tape on the edge (on a spot where it's not noticable) to avoid finger prints.

[@markplott4820]

Freakin Rewiews - #1 - it is illegal to Drive with mirrored sunglasses at Night, or a Mirrored Visor. CHP will ticket you. #2 - the purpose of the Yellow lens is to increase contrast at Night , is what you want !!!!! plus it is Allowed for Night Driving by most Police. Check local LAWS.

[@Blutzen]

For what it's worth, when you turn a polarized lens sideways like you did for the glasses, you're misaligning the polarization which will impact the effectiveness of the product.

[@1time4younme]

Another great review. Laughed at the beginning where you put the visor on wrong. :-) Loved the comparisons with the glasses. I don't really care for the reflection. For me, it would be too distracting while driving. I also would not be able to handle the fingerprints. You made a good point about the setting sun and the Tac visor versus your cars visor. I actually have one of the older HD versions, and I experienced that same issue, as well as that gap between the visor and my car visor... definitely noticeable. Always look forward to your reviews! Thanks!

[@MsCori76]

I actually have the HD VISION visor & I couldn’t use it well in my smaller car I use to own as I sat lower & I’m only 5’5 so I had the same problem like your mum but I haven’t tried it yet in my car I have now that is larger & has a electric drivers seat that sits you up higher like a truck seat. Mine also scratched pretty bad from the dust too as back then I lived out of town on a dirt road. I also noticed that the TAC one looks larger then the HD VISION.

[@HolidayValleyOHWX]

I was the only one who used the HD vision visor because my grandfather used it in his car but didn't like it so he let me use it. Some were in mid 2016 to 2017 he got rid of it

[@jimbutler2952]

I don't like using the night glasses at night, however they are great during the day when it's raining (no sun2) you can see vehicles better

[@hazelsmith1571]

I bought the Tac Visor, installed it, and it isn't long enough to do any good. Even my husband who is 6" tall said it was too short. Wish I hadn't purchased this....

[@davemi3213]

I received the tac visor for Christmas as a gift I also installed it wrong I’ll turn it to the backside of my visor tomorrow and see if there’s improvement with the reflection

[@francinenault908]

when I bought it yesterday I installed it the correct way according to your instructions but I'm like your mother I'm too short therefore serves no purpose. I agree with you I don't see much difference at night according to your video. I do have the glasses which I bought years ago (very cheap) and they actually do the same as the night visor. The outcome of this purchase is that I cannot use it. I did have one day visor which I bought at Canadian Tire, I like it and will continue to use it.

[@ColonelFusion]

If they polarized the night lenses they should've made a difference. But yellow literally just made things yellow. I'm glad you reviewed this because I'd like to consider getting something legit for my mom and grandparents. But this is basically useless.

[@HughJorgan09]

Once again, your review had a definitive effect upon my purchasing decision! Thanks.

[@PostedForYou]

Thanks a lot. Thanks for going through the hard work of putting this together for us

[@nambinhvu]

Couldn't you attach it upside down and flipped for shorter people, or would it fall off? It'll hide under the factory visor and you can adjust the height by pulling the factory visor down further. Give it a shot.

[@HFVidShotz]

Daytime=ahright! Nitetime=no diff. Thanks bra!

[@jamesslaughter8666]

IAM glad you tell me the truth about that tack visor my opinion is they should have put a mirror coating on the front and have an extra extension for short ppls you see they never TEST there product out before putting out on the market but you need bto text others ppls products more often because when we see on TV we think it's all good until we get it so that's where you come in to TEST IT BROTHER 👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾👌🏾🤘🏾🤟🏾💯😁

[@shedesi60]

Does not stay on my visor. The clip is not designed to open up far enough for a fat visor. Every time I pull the visor down, it slides off the car visor.

[@doloresswann4600]

Thanks.....I'm short @ 4'11.5" too like your mother - so it probably wouldn't help me either. I never thought of that. :-) & NOT much difference at night WHICH is where I need it most. SINCE having cataract laser excision in Oct. my night-time GLARE is interfering with my night-time vision/driving. Even if it were long enough I don't think the Tac Visor will make any difference

[@soter305]

The best goddamn freakin review show out there.

[@jbwilde5106]

I think I will stick with sunglasses . Is it time for a oil change? (lol) Hope you had fun at the wine tasting. Keep them coming

[@donw804]

It seems to me that a decent pair of sunglasses is much more practical. Good job, James!

[@703am]

i need to get one for sure , I'm having a hard time seeing at night with almost every other vehicle having those LED lights or whatever they have.

[@60schevyman96]

WOW thanks for the review I wear glasses ( script ) that change from clear to sunglasses and after watching your review I'm definitely not sold on tac-visor 1 the finger prints and 2 the reflection would not fly for me. It last more than 5 minutes on my visor. Yes I did not see a difference in the night time visor except the yellow tint.

[@blueclothes1]

Haha any excuse to put Bailey on camera you do it! That’s awesome 😃

[@RonFloyd]

Good review. Might be worth it if you could find it at a dollar store for $5 or less. Thanks.

[@kleptonaisa7845]

You can also put that on the bill of a ballcap, so everywhere you look will be through it lol.

[@sabinahertzum9728]

I have a huge problem with driving at night - any type of oncoming light or even cars behind me blind me with glare, and I do once in a while I use a pair of yellow anti glare glasses, and they really help with my vision at night... If I drive at night in rain, and oncoming traffic it can get so bad that it effects my driving... So, while I like you review, I feel you don’t take in to consideration that some people might have some vision problems, or with other things, physical problems, that the product might help with!!

[@lfc23upstateny.11]

You freaking Rock

[@kcleo-]

This review was all fun and games until he started doing the back and forth.... cue flashbacks to being at the eye doctor like 'which is better 1 or 2'

[@indyduane]

try getting another and keep the plastic on to see if it works both ways for no finger prints ???

[@mkchavezj16]

Just subscribed , litterly binged watched about 20 of your episodes , I find them fun an actually help full , I always see the “as see on tv” isle an I wanted to get the (my pillow ) but it was pricy so actually seeing an in depth review was amazing . Keep up the work love the videos !

[@fourtyfivefudd]

The yellow doesn’t seem to cut down glare, but what I have also seen it advertised for before, and what it actually works for, is eye strain. Especially if driving long hours and a lot of people have LED lights, or if perhaps our driving through a bright city like Time Square or down the LV Strip, and you have sensitive eyes or are prone to migraines, the yellow has been proven to reduce eye strain. But “night vision” or glare? Those are just gimmicks. But if you have sensitive eyes, then this really could work for you

[@genxkevin]

Thanks I’m buying this. A guy at my work bought this and swears by it. He has a problem with night glare and says it s awesom

[@barbarahedges1791]

Thank you. I was thinking about ordering it. This showed me it will not work for me. I would need it lower as my visor is short and does not work. I am short also. LOL. What would work for me is to just buy the glasses.

[@jgrayersqueen]

I think this would be good for me...i wear prescription glasses and sometimes I have to put sunglasses over my glasses!! Thanks for reviewing this

[@elizarraras123456]

I was thinking about buying this for night glare but after watching I wont. Thank you for the review!

[@jeandiatasmith4512]

With the night vision - after a few minutes, your eyes adjust to the yellow and it stops being yellow. Just like using the night setting on your monitor. Lights trigger migraines for me and passing cars in the dark - absolute torture on my left eye. The night vision has been amazing for this. Their also nice in fog and drizzle. Now if they'd just make this visor better fitting - I can stop looking like a dork in the glasses. :)

[@ctpena]

You hit it right on the head. I'm 5'2" so I still get the sun glaring through both the top and below the Tac Visor. But at certain times of the day it does work. The night vision part feels like it messes with my depth perception so I don't use it.

I was hoping it would be good for us short people ! I'm 5'4 and the normal visor does nothing for me.

[@mlg445]

Kelli please, I bet you see fine. Try being 4'10". I can drive without a boost but lately I've been using a folded throw blanket and it's helped quite a bit. 5'4 is average for a woman. So sick of non-short people saying they're short for attention. Its like if an anorexic says she's too fat for attention, meanwhile fat people want less attention or taken seriously. It lessens the struggle amd message.

[@420shrek]

Kelli try driving when you are 4’9 😂😂😂. I need to use a pillow under me.

[@pabloperez2661]

Maybe buy a 2nd one and glue a piece to bottom of original

[@theeabster1983]

Last one of these I bought as seen on TV product was from Boscov's and it just scratched up and hazed up so much . Ya could not even see through it . it got to be where was certainly more dangerous to use than not to use. But in the beginning when it was brand new I liked it.. it also clamped so hard on my original sun visor there still a mark to this day and I haven't had it on there in 2 years

[@larryd6143]

Wow! Thanks. I was all ready to get the visor, but clearly not nearly as good as the TV commercial claims, finger prints, reflections and it doesn't really cut the glare. And of course if Bailey doesn't like it, my Golden, Oliver won't like it either.

[@jgrayersqueen]

Your right about the night vision screen. I didn't see a difference in glare just a yellow tint. And I also don't see a difference between the glasses and visor

[@mb52753]

There’s a piece of film on a laptop screen it’s the same as a tack visor that how people can see the Eagle or the big screen that shows the traffic driving .

[@mb52753]

Trust me I used to play around and make inventions in till invent tech screwed me over on a flashlight I called the triple beam and then they came out with my invention just to give people a good invention here’s one For all of you a car that self defrosting its self take the wires that goes on the rear windows run it through the fibers of the car which are mostly plastic or fiberglass now then when it snows it automatically defrost the body of the car that’s one invention out of 150 that I have

[@robertbidochon7949]

I just use window film, cheap and super efficient without looking goofy, thank you

[@jimsamolczyk3774]

I bought two of these from the tv ad. Mount was totally different than tv ad. Visor worked great for awhile. Then the dark film came off and the cheap plastic hinges won’t keep the visor up anymore. Nothing but a cheap piece of junk. Don’t waste your money. I ripped mine off the truck visor and threw it out the window.

[@deanlamkey6586]

i just wanted to say that you should try the tacviser and and tacviser night vision at the same time

[@igorschmidlapp6987]

The best use for this is sitting at a stoplight with the sun glaring... lets you see the light change... works for me...

[@dilloncrouch2559]

The night visor would only benefit if you wanted a softer tint, much like the night mode brightness on an iPhone. From the reflections to fingerprints to cheap quality, I’d say this is a waste of money. Exciting concept though I guess.

[@davemi3213]

Turning the night view glasses sidewards May eliminate the polarization properties
