Hockey Galore has the yellow, blue, and regular clear. As for the smoked version, if you find a couple, let me know because I would be glad to get one as well.

No, not certified

I bought one of the Mirrored Itech HS22 visors. Here are some pics.

I messed around with my friends mirror wave and it sucked for the building I tried it in, it was a dark building to begin with. I figured if I tried it in a lighter building it wouldn't be as bad.

yo briggy, that looks so sweet, how much did u pay for the visor? was it ahrd to put on the 5000?

i wanted a blue oakley, but i saw them on the net, they look electric blue, i think the one Nash uses has more tint in it, im kinda bummed

I paid $55 at my LHS and it was quite easy to put on my Bauer.

i think there are 2 shades of blue or maybe it was jsut the light the pic was taken or the lighting in the arena that made it look differetn, what are the points or the tint anyways are they just cosmetic or do they actaully do something, i personally think they are sweet but i was jsut wondering if they serve a purpose besides looks

[warrior37 0]

well for one i think they look sick, i really like em and two most rinks around here are new or have really bright lighting and i have sensitive eyes from working carpentry getting saw dust in em, so i tried my line mates tinted itech and it really helped, but i want the blue to be sick

[cantor22 0]

so basically is just shades out light, so pretty much sungalsses for the helmet

[warrior37 0]

pretty much, cantor if you see the darker, smokier blue let me know bud

[cantor22 0]

ya no problem

I use a yellow tint on my racquetball glasses. It increases the contrast, and theoretically makes the ball easier to see. I use orange Oakley Pro M Frames to trap shoot with. It really does seem to help, but then again it's probably personal preferance, but I would think a little tint could help contrast, but that's it.

I think they cut down on glare from the ice and glass, kinda like ski googles.

I remember a couple years ago Weinrich talking about how the yellow visor helped cut down the glare of the bright NHL arenas.
