Just found out that polarized sunglasses and helmet visors are a bad combination. I was greeted with a whole new colorful world!

Seriously, it almost made me nauseous.

It's even worse if the polarization of each is rotated.

The closer to 90° from one polarized lens to the next, the less light comes through. At 90° rotation lens-to-lens, all light is blocked.

Try it with your sunglasses and the visor removed from the helmet. Slowly rotate the visor and you should see it get darker and darker.
