poz Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 What effect does an orange visor have? Does it make everything orange? If it does, you're really gonna have to look out for those Easyjets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil_P Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Yellow/orange visors block blue colours so enhance contrast between sky and clouds. Your eyes/brain soon adjust and you are just aware that the day looks bright. Other than a neutral tint, it would be my number one choice for flying.

Is this type of visor still suitable? Sorry if these are dumb questions, it's just that I'm used to eye protection that makes everything darker, not brighter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil_P Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Well, nothing is going to actually make things brighter, although yellow does tend to make it look so, and is really good on slightly duller days. Whatever you use will always be reducing to some extent the amount of light that is transmitted to the eyes, although what the value of this is for these particular visors I couldn't say, but they won't be quite as effective as a neutral tint visor at a similar sort of apparent density as they will be removing a narrower band of light wavelengths. Different people tolerate differing amounts of bright sun, so it would be quite subjective as to whether the density was sufficient for an individual. One option would be to use the yellow visor, but to add a strip of the sort of filter material used on car windscreens (or even the mirror film) along the top edge, much like a tinted car windscreen. It is fairly easy to position it so that in normal use it doesn't come into your line of sight, but a small tilt of your head forward will make it do so.

druffuk Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Neither have the option for ear defenders, why not look at the Fly UL? Looks the same but you can specify ear-cups or radio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hparker Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Is there a way to add a visor to the Fly UL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
