Switchable Glass technology offers users a functional high definition projection screen, as well as having sound insulating, fire rated and coloured specialist options available. Smart Film doesn’t replace the roll-off in the worst of conditions but there are definitely times when it is an easier solution like a race start, or all the many times we’ve had to pit for a fresh set of goggles. You really can just do a Tinder finger swipe and keep riding. Fitting is the hard part and from that point onwards you really can treat the goggles like crap and ignore it.

From award winning architecture projects, to unveiling the world’s most luxurious cars, we have seen Switchable technology work well in an extremely wide range of environments, including but not limited to homes, hotels, offices, healthcare, retail, hospitality and much more. Even the creative uses of this technology is constantly being expanded. The latest generation of Switchable Smart Window Film provides a simple, affordable alternative to other ‘intelligent glass’ solutions, for a wide range of applications. It’s simply more practical and life is easier. Any water splashes or real muddy sections, where dirt flies in your face or a rider in front roosts you, are wiped in an instant. We’ve a good habit of using water repellent spray on our lenses and that helps too. Race tested Plenty of things in life seem too good to be true. Who hasn’t fallen for an online product which claims to be the answer to a particular problem only for it to not live up to expectations? Enduro21 tests the Armour Vision Smart Film lens protector, “the world’s first wire wool and race tested retrofit lens protector” which gives you the easy option to Tinder swipe left for clear vision.

The Armor Vision Smart Film could easily be one of those products with its big claims of wire wool resistance, to eliminate the need for tear-offs and its revolutionary technology. How can a thin piece of film do that? The protective liner on the adhesive side should only be peeled away after the Smart Film® has been applied to the glass and all air bubbles have been pressed away with a squeegee. We’ve been pretty pleased with the Smart Film on trail or general practice rides rather than just race conditions. Times like when you don’t want to carry extra kit, to wear a set of roll-off and don’t want to keep stopping but the conditions mean you’re going to keep getting vision obscured. The only negative we found was washing the goggles in warm water and then putting them in the sun made the film start to lift on one side. It wasn’t desert sunshine, just British Springtime so not blindingly hot, but worth bearing in mind.

In one hard enduro, the start led into a rutted, single line on the first lap which meant a tonne of really claggy roost as we tried to make passes/keep up/stay ahead. Through all this it was easy to swipe and move on – like dirt Tinder maybe (?!). Armor Vision Smart Film is a “universally fitting clear lens protective strip which will allow you to wipe away water, mud and grit to no end without scratching your lens.”
