Tacvisor by Bell+Howell for Day and Night, Polarized Sun Visor, Anti-Glare, UV Blocking Sun Protection Vehicle Windshield Sunshade, Car Accessories for Clearer Vision and Safety Driving As Seen On TV

I’ve tried pretty much every one of these kinds of things on the market and this is the closest one that does what it says it’ll do. Now it does not cut the daytime glare and the nighttime shining lights from other cars 100% but I will say it cuts at about 50% which for me makes me able to drive during those times. So while it’s not perfect it got me back on the road and I’m very happy with it. Just a tip, if you’re having trouble with nighttime glare from other peoples headlights try sitting up as tall as you can in the seat so you’re looking over the lights as opposed to straight in. I’m not exactly short but I’m just at that height where if I sit up straight, it does help to cut the glare about 30%. I learned this when my tall passenger friend kept telling me that the lights weren’t bothering him at all. I know it’s different in that seat but looking over at him is when it dawned on me that his line of vision is above the headlights.

I saw this product on TV an decided to give it a try. Was completely disappointed in both fit and function. I drive a Nissan vehicle and I would caution anyone with that make to consider long and very hard before spending your money on this visor. It was relatively easy to install. Once installed, I discovered that the swing of the OEM visor was limited considerably. I am relatively tall and when I tried swing the OEM visor down, it was so restricted that I could not see out of the windshield. When the complete assembly was in the retracted position, I was concerned about the edges of both visors in the event of a forward collision. It seemed to me that they might cause considerable injury. Even more disappointing was the function of the dark visor. While it does darken what you see, It did not remove reflected glare, as claimed on TV. I’ve got a set polarized sunglasses that do a much better job of reducing glare. In the spirit of full disclosure, I may not understand the advantage that the night vision visor is supposed to offer. I really could not tell much difference in the glare coming from oncoming traffic. I did not test the visor in extended (greater than 100 miles) driving. It is possible that the night vision might offer a reduction in eye fatigue. I cannot attest to that, however. One really quirky and somewhat irritating problem with this assembly is that caused by the clear plastic used for the visor swivels. When the dark visor is down, this swivel can transmit sunlight into the driver’s eyes. If all else worked as advertised, this design problem would be a deal breaker. Save your money … this product does not seem to work as advertised. I’m hoping that it can be returned.

I will disagree with many here in that it does provide protection from glare with direct sunlight. BUT THERE ARE FLAWS in how it was developed. First let me explain. Eight months ago I was heading into the Superstition Mountains on a Saturday AM to do some hiking with friends. The sun early in the AM hit my windshield and all I could see was a yellow light and could not see the road. I was almost killed due to this Sunlight glare. Fast forward and I purchased the Bell and Howell TacVisor as why buy a cheap version. Since I am up early in the mornings to go hiking, kayaking, etc I get the sun at its worst (or best considering how you look at it). Now with the TacVisor in the early morning sun I can see perfectly. Yes the color is off but the glare is gone and that is what I wanted it for. So it does work. Then you will ask why did I only give it a rating of 3 and not a 5? Well it is made poorly. When driving on dirt or rock fill roads and the vehicle is bumpy, TacVisor flows down whether I want it or not. Both the day light and night time visors flow down meaning I literally have to use one hand to hold it up. There is no way to tighten the visors so they will not flow down. So YES it is made poorly. As the is Bell and Howell making the product I am surprised they did such a poor job. I now use bands to hold the visors up, one for the night time and one for the daytime. The existing problem is when I need the nighttime visor, the daytime visor flows down. I think B&H need to fix this flaw and offer a replacement to those who need it. So the visors work but the mechanics of the visor are too cheaply made to be worth the $19.95. I remember when made in the USA meant quality. This visor is made so cheaply it must have been made in China and they just use the B&H name, Until B&H fixes this flaw, I would save your money and buy the knockoffs as they see just as good or better...

Pics: sunshine through visor; rainy day without visor; rainy day through visor; daytime headlights through visor; night time headlights through the visor. Last three - I took the pictures with my camera right up to the visor. I've been using one for a long time and I love it! The blinding headlights coming at me and the sun blasting in my eyes are the most annoying things, so this is great! I can actually see the road still when a car with bright lights passes me. One negative thing is that it pulls the shade flap down so that it hangs a bit in the way. I have an extra shade pull, so I was able to prop it up by putting that behind the rearview mirror. My mom doesn't like it. I bought one for her as a gift, but she says it's just not something she can get used to. It makes the area right in front of the car about 20% darker.

I imagine this is a good product but it doesn't seem to work for me. When I put the visors down they don't fall in my line of vision. They are above my line of vision and I'm still just looking through my windshield as always. I probably do not sit up as high in my seat as some people might. It seems like it would make sense to have the visors come down lower so people are actually looking through them other than having them above their line of vision.

I bought this because I wanted something to help block off the sun while driving. I find that this item does a very good job: When I am using TACVISOR for Day: On a sunny day, I can drive without using my sunglasses. This is handy when I forget my sunglasses. When the sun is directly in my face, just the TACVISOR or just wearing sunglasses is not enough since the light is too strong. When using TACVISOR and wearing my sunglasses, I can even stare at the sun directly with no ill effects! When I am using TACVISOR for Night: Those bright LED or high beam are no longer blindingly bright. So it works. However, I am uncomfortable with the world turning all yellow so I hardly use this. The only downside about this product is that I find after some usage, the filters (Day and Night) become loose and flip down on its own during a bumpy ride. This is a bit annoying at times since I have to flip it back up. Luckily, this only happens sometimes.

Basically I bought this because I have a hard time driving at night because of the blinding nights. Personally, I did not find that it made a big difference. Everything just appears yellow. The other visor for the day works very well. One thing to note, they could be wider. They do not cover enough of the drivers vision.

It did not really serve the purpose and barely used it!

Worked well in both the bright sun and night driving but I had serious safety concerns that if my airbags were to ever deploy, I'd likely end up scalped or seriously injured! More importantly, after our first cold winter storm here a big chunk of the plastic broke off when my purse banged into it and I don't mean anything aggressive at all, just me chucking my purse on to the passenger side seat and it happened to bang into it slightly on it way into the seat which was surprisingly enough for it to snap! It was only -15C and it can get much colder than that we're I'm from in Canada! So because of this, I wouldn't recommend this product.

This product is durable it works fine but cannot use more than a few hours because then your eyes feels dizzy
