The Science Behind Anti-Scratch Visors
Keep Your Ride Crystal Clear
Every rider knows the frustration of a visor that scratches the moment you look away. Whether it’s a gritty UK motorway or a dusty backroad, a scratched visor isn’t just annoying, it’s dangerous. That’s why Caberg Helmets take visor technology seriously. Let’s dive into the science behind anti-scratch visors and why they’re a must-have for every biker.
Why Scratched Visors Are a Serious Risk
A scratched helmet visor isn’t just cosmetic. Even minor scratches can distort vision, create glare from headlights, and reduce your ability to spot hazards on the road. In the UK, where weather can change on a whim, clear vision is essential for safe motorcycling.
How Anti-Scratch Visors Work
Caberg Helmets use advanced multi-layer coatings to protect the visor from everyday wear and tear. Here’s the breakdown:
- Hard Coating Layer – The outer layer is treated with a specially formulated hard coating that resists scratches from dust, branches, and road grit.
- Impact-Resistant Polycarbonate – Beneath the coating, the polycarbonate visor provides strength and flexibility, reducing the chance of cracks.
- UV Protection – Many Caberg visors also block harmful UV rays, preventing glare and reducing eye strain on long rides.
This combination of materials ensures that your visor stays clear, sharp, and ready for any UK riding condition.
Everyday Tips to Keep Your Visor Scratch-Free
Even the best anti-scratch visors need a little TLC. Here’s how to prolong their lifespan:
- Clean with Microfibre Cloths – Avoid paper towels or rough fabrics. They can leave micro-scratches.
- Use Helmet-Specific Cleaner – Standard glass cleaners may damage the anti-scratch coating.
- Avoid Storing Helmet Face-Down – Store in a helmet bag or on a shelf to prevent contact with abrasive surfaces.
Caberg Helmets are built for UK riders who demand both style and protection. Anti-scratch visors are standard across models like the Caberg Duke, Ghost, and Levo, giving you peace of mind that your vision will remain crystal clear ride after ride.
Whether you’re tearing down the A40 or cruising through the Cotswolds, a scratched visor shouldn’t slow you down. Invest in a helmet that takes visor protection seriously, because every biker deserves a clear view of the road ahead.
