I finally bought a tinted faceshield for my helmet which will really improve my riding experience. I don’t have a pair of prescription sunglasses so I have been riding during the day with the clear shield which was not so great, especially riding east in the mornings. It took me a while to order the new shield because I wasn’t sure how long I would keep my present helmet since it is getting old. The general consensus it that you should replace your helmet every five years but since I rarely used it for four years, I’ll keep it for a couple more.
