Remarkable roles: Lid Vision concept and crash helmets are a perfect fit

Getting caught out by fading light might sound like a minor inconvenience. For motorcyclist and optical sales rep Andrew Greene it proved to be a turning point that sparked a seven-year search for a solution that ended with the husband and wife team designing their own product and founding Lid Vision.

The day had started sunny so Andrew had opted for a tinted visor, as darkness fell he had to lift the visor. ‘Riding without anything protecting the eyes is really tough,’ says Andrew. Not wanting to get caught in the same situation again he decided to source some motorcycle specific eyewear. Despite both he and wife Michelle being in the eyewear business they were not aware of a suitable product so Andrew started to search.
