What is this, Take it Personally Day?

Not at all Jim2, I don't take things personally.....

Haven;t got the fine art of Typed sarcasm down quite pat yet...

Oh and is there anywhere in NZ to get the Visor Stuff, or does it have to be ordered from offshore..?

Why don't you just wear normal sunnies behind a clear visor?

No I am saying by adding more features to the requirements of the helmet it makes the equation of a light safe helmet harder to achieve with having to add the extra visor and its equipment into the shell.

Yes, it must weigh more than a similar helmet as it has more in it.

A few sunnies press on the temple, I cant get one of my pairs inside the helmet at all.

a) it doesn't look as cool (I ride a sprotsbike so this is extremely important

)
b) polarised sunnies make crazy rainbow colours (like acid but without the giggling and not so safe)
c) comfort (my Shoei fits nice and snug over my temples and the sunnies are a pain to get in and pinch a bit)

Fortunately my $20 gas station sunnies do ok but I can't wait to get a tinted/mirrored visor now that the days are long enough that I'd rarely ride home in the dark.

I wear my sun glasses at night

**Hitcher** · 19th December 2007, 21:39

I wear my sunglasses at night
so I can
so I can
Watch you weave then breathe your story lines.
And I wear my sunglasses at night
so I can
so I can
Keep track of the visions in my eyes.

$599 is the RRP, we got ours for $535, others have theirs from the US at about $US390. Ours have bluetooth bike-bike comms kits which adds another $465 (and worth every cent)

There's beent at least two long threads about these helmets so do a froum search and have a read

Pledge comes in a spray bottle that uses fingers power to propel the liquid so no nasty propellants anymore!

I've got an HJC FS-10, and its a brillant helmet (other than the fact that it only comes in black or a gray pattern).
It was $450, RRP $500. It only weighs 1450 grams.

Now sAsLEX, have you ever looked at the weight of a $250 helmet compared to a $1000 helmet. The expensive one is not lighter because its smaller or has less "features". Its lighter because its made out of better material.
So now dont you think that perhaps the helmets with the glasses inside them are made with lighter material as well?
