Are Tinted Visors Legal in Mauritius? Here’s What Every Rider Needs to Know

If you’re a biker in Mauritius, chances are you’ve asked yourself: “Is a tinted helmet visor legal?”
The answer is simple: NO, fully tinted outer visors are not allowed in Mauritius.

According to Mauritian road traffic regulations, only clear outer visors are permitted for road use. Helmets with dark or fully tinted outer visors can get you fined or seized at customs if imported.

So How Do You Protect Your Eyes from the Sun While Riding?

We get it — Mauritius has intense sunlight, especially during sunsets or coastal rides. Riding with the sun in your eyes is not just uncomfortable — it’s dangerous.

That’s why Soman helmets come with a smart solution:

✅ All Soman helmets — both open face and full face — include a CLEAR outer visor (legal)
✅ PLUS a built-in UV-blocking tinted inner visor, which you can drop down when needed and flip back up anytime.

Why Is This Inner Visor Legal?

Because it’s inside the helmet shell, not replacing the main visor. The law only restricts tinted outer visors that reduce visibility at night. A drop-down inner visor gives you sun protection without breaking any laws.

❌ Tinted outer visors = Not legal in Mauritius
