Shoei Shield CWR-1 PHOTOCHROMIC Visor for X-Fourteen, RF-1200 and RF-SR Transitions Photochromic technology allows visors to automatically and seamlessly change from clear to dark in sunlight. The process works when photochromic dyes embedded into the lens or shield react to UV light, changing levels of darkness with the sun. When UV light is removed, a chemical reaction driven by ambient heat reconverts the activated photochromic molecules to their original, clear form and the lens fades. The CWR-1 Photochromic Pinlock face shield fits SHOEI's X-Fourteen, RF-1200 and RF-SR helmets.
