- All 4 visors meet the requirements
- Always available
- Easy to use
- Easy to store
- Optically Correct- eliminates peripheral distortion

It is the original equipment visor supplied on all new Cairns Defender helmets for some very good reasons:
1. Tuffshield is significantly more heat resistant. Like the Hi-Temperature Bourke Eyeshields, the Tuffshield Defender visor is heat-resistant up to 500°. The other visors will start to melt at about 345°.
2. Tuffshield is a heavier grade material with more impact resistance. As the name implies, it’s just tougher.
3. The slight yellowish tint helps you see better, day or night. Like a pair of amber shooting glasses, they filter out harsh wavelengths and glare, improving contrast and revealing more detail under all lighting conditions—including looking at flames.
