Bloke at work just imported one of these - arrived today - awaiting a report.

I is a good looking kit - huge field of vision, flip front, flip down sunnies and pretty light.

I have a Caberg Trip I brought back from the UK, flip front, internal sun visor. It's light, a bit noisy & could really do with the visor being a pin lock design but I love it. I would not go back to a helmet without a sun visor, I think they are a convenient & effective safety aid, last nights ride home at dusk being a perfect example, low sun over the hill tops & dark tree shaded corners alternating all the way.

Givi, Caberg, Nolan are a few...

Be aware, if getting one, make sure the sun visor comes down far enough. Some models, the visor stops quite high up, leaving a gap between nose/cheeks and visor.

I know the Caberg is OK (mate has one), not sure on the others.

Got a AIROH Mathisse RS :yes: flip front, dual visor etc. Nice light & comfy helmet. The dual visor works well & does extend fully with no light gaps around the periphery. well ventilated and the venting on to the visor works extremely well :yes:

Typical flip front increase in wind noise but nowhere near as bad as some designs

The latest model modular AIROH (http://www.airoh.com/helmets/modular/tr2) looks pretty trick

I've got a Givi HPS 40.1 Integral. Love it, nicest helmet I've ever owned. Got it from MotoMail who still list it on their web site but didn't see any in stock last time I was there. As someone mentioned the tinted visor does not come all the way down on this model but it's not an issue for me.

I've got an HJC IS-16 type-O, sun visor has 3 drop settings and has a fog thing that u can clip on (covers nose to stop exhaling on visor).

with the iridium front visor you can look directly at the sun but need to use a clear visor for night time.
I loose and break sunglasses so they're not an option and generally they dig into the side of my head and your nose and eyes sweat which is uncomfortable and reduces visability.

very slightly more wind noise than last helmet around the 60-70km but other speeds seem to be fine. Have done 42,000kms and is still in good condition, just gotta wash those inside bits every now and then.

+ 1 on the Givi.
I think the price has dropped on them recently.
Visor is just about perfect for me.

My partner has 1 and really likes it, particularly handy for him as a wearer of glasses. His is the LS2 brand.
