Bell Helmets ProTint Panovision Photochromatic Shield

Bell Helmets Has a new ProTint Panovision Shield with Proprietary Photochromatic Technology
The ProTint Panovision shield allows you to run one shield for all conditions. ProTint was engineered to seamlessly adapt and active to changing light conditions.
After years of research and development efforts by Bell’s engineering team, Bell Helmets developed photochromatic technology for faceshields that self-adjusts to random changes in lighting conditions.
ProTint’s adaptive shield technology is clear in low-light conditions, but quickly darkens when exposed to bright light. The Panovision viewport has additional vertical and lateral visibility over the previous Bell shields, so riders in a tight or tucked position can see more.
With ProTint, Bell becomes the first helmet manufacturer to develop its own proprietary photochromatic shield technology.

“ProTint is the first self-adjusting shield technology developed by riders, for riders, and the ideal complement to our more-expansive Panovision viewport,” said Chris Sackett, vice president of Bell Helmets. “Virtually every rider has experienced the challenges, and potential hazards, associated with rapidly changing light conditions, and ProTint addresses this, allowing riders the peace of mind to stay completely focused throughout the ride.”
