The 'VisorTwin' is a specialized accessory for drivers that will enable them to avoid unwanted UV rays and glare from affecting their vision when on the road. Working in both horizontal and vertical orientations, the visor attaches easily onto an [existing automobile visor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/go-industries) and instantly blocking out sun when driving at anytime of the day. The unit is reported to block out 92% of UVA light, which likens it to wearing an additional pair of [UVA 400-rated sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/infraredblocking-eyewear) to prevent drivers from feeling overwhelmed by the sun's rays when driving.

The 'VisorTwin' swings out of the way when not required to help increase the discreet design, while also being suitable for placement on either the [driver or passenger sides](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/driver-assistance-system).
