Dark Smoke Element Shield
I like this shield a lot I just think it should be a little darker. This shade allows me to not have to flip it up when it gets real dark as it's just about the right amount of tint, almost. Personally a little darker would be great for me as I do almost all my riding during the day.

Not so Dark
I bought this shield in the Dark Smoke color and it is not as dark as I would have liked it but its not that bad. is still grants visibility at night which all in all in a great thing.

Exactly what I needed.
I needed a shield that would offer good protection from sunlight but still be usable at night. This is the perfect shield for that.

Nice
I like the tint, although it was VERY light. I was looking for something a bit darker. I purchased the "dark smoke" and it was sufficient, but I can't even imagine what the light smoke is like...almost clear? If your looking for a LIGHT tint, this is it. I do like it and would recommend it.

Get the DARK
Shield fits the helmet nicely. My only beef is the tint shade. If you're like me and you like really dark shades, this is probably not going to do it for you either. Even the dark shield is comparable to most other helmets "Very light tint". Do yourself a favor and get an extra clear... and take it to a tint shop that can handle plastics. Works beautifully!

Not Dark Smoke
The shield that was delivered was a significantly lighter shade than the picture. It's more of a medium smoke screen compared to other manufacturers. One would expect a dark smoke screen to be dark like a pair of sunglasses to help block bright sunlight. This screen is more like a 10-15% gradient, which barely blocks any sunlight. The fit, quality, and installation are easy, but I would not recommend this shield for someone expecting a dark smoke shield.

Element - Shield for Fastrack Helmet
Tinted shield is pretty good. But still fogs up after two weeks of use. I'd give this product a 6 out of 10 on quality, price, and durability.

Dark Smoke? Are you sure???
I think people are being too nice about this product. It is not very dark at all. I came from an HJC Dark Smoke and that is DARK. So I was pretty disappointed with this and returned it. It also seems a little flimsy; I'm not real big on these shields. O’Neal, you need to make these much darker! Then I will happily buy one.

Ehhh so/so
I got the light smoke and the dark smoke shield for this helmet... I would tell you just to get the dark smoke, and they should change the name on the light smoke to a touch of smoke. Either way I would like to see them come out with a better shield!

Dark Smoke Helmet Shield
This product claims it is dark smoke, it should have said very light smoke. I still have to wear sun glasses with it, if it’s sunny out, which is not what I had in mind when I bought it.

So so
Not as dark as a dark smoke should be. I would hate to see what the light smoke looks like.

Low Clarity
Washed and washed to get the shield "cleared". Both of the Smoke shields seem to reduce vision clarity and both have extreme glare issues in bright sun. This shield is the only one I've ever had a problem with.
