anyone else have the prob with the visor obstructing vision? One reviewer said this and trying to decide- built in or detachable visor. Thanks

Hi, I have this helmet and i love it. I've never felt the visor obstruct my view. I don't see how it could if you are looking forward. It doesn't fall on your face.

I personally have had no problems with the visor obstructing my vision. I really only use the visor when I am riding into direct sunlight. I love this helmet!

Yes, it does. I own one and have used it in many paintball games. From firsthand experience, during one game I was shot in the left side of the visor (directly over my eye) by a paintball travelling at 280 fps and it took it like a champ. If you want to use it for airsoft, it'll last a lifetime. For paintball, I would replace the visor if it took a more than a few direct hits. It'll protect you just fine :)

In my SUV yes. This is why I don't use it permanently. If one keeps the visors between the windshield an the mirror it limits the mirror's adjustment for optimal view It also depends on the size and mounting of the visors. Many users are very happy wit it

Nope. Moreover I've tried the shield version and I don't know about others but I had the problem of the wind getting underneath the visor causing some discomfort and bad vision. That's why I went with the regular air attack and use my Smith pivlock2 and Oakley jawbone (I alternate). This is not to say you can't be crafty and find a way to attach neodymium magnets to the helmet, but this may weaken the integrity of the helmet making it less safe to wear. My advice would be to wait for the new giro synthe. It combines the best of the air attack with that of the aeon. Good ventilation mixed with aerodynamics. The air attack I have is used in colder conditions. The aeon all the time. Nope.

I operate mine at maximum volume and it is right in front of my face on the visor. I have no problems hearing and I'm told that the unit is perfectly clear. Wishing you the best.

The visor on mine is part of the liner. If I remove the liner, it changes the fit quite a bit. I just leave it flipped up. The helmet is very comfortable.

I have found it useless for my eyeglasses when I'm out hiking. I work up quite a sweat in our hills, and my glasses are usually covered in fog. This does not help a bit. If anyone has any workable suggestions I'd be happy to hear them!

yup. there's velcro on the front side of the visor. you detach the front (don't worry the rest of it will still be secured) flip it and reattach it.

I don't think the Visor will hamper your Daughters driving or vision. In fact it will help her a lot when and if the sun glare bothers her. She will or should only pull it down for that reason. Hope this helps. Good Luck.

i found that the visor doesn't work well in day or night. The visor made the viewing very hazy and blurry in some spots. Save yourself some frustration and just get a good pair of yellow driving glasses or if you wear glasses like me, you can get a good pair of yellow clip-ons that work great.I hope this helps you.

It is more difficult to mount with a visor. I removed my visor, but it can be done.

I use this magnifier almost daily. At first I tried to use them wearing my glasses but I couldn't get used to my field of vision. Everything seemed to be wavy and it was disorienting. I don't have any problem using them without my glasses though. My vision seems normal..only magnified.

Mine only came with the clear visor as well. I had to purchase the smokey visor (tinted) seperately.

I had the same problem and just threw it away. Looking through catalogs I found one in Gold Violin , Order it and it is great. The clips go on my very thick visor and I am very pleased.If you are interested, it is called Sun Glare Zapper #91857 $20.--free shippingphone # 1-877-648-8400 www.goldviolin.com Hope this helps

Not for me. I find it works best when adjusted so I can just see the top of my shoulder and almost see the edge of my ear/ helmet. It took a while to get the hang of adjusting it but it's second nature now. It may be that the helmet mirror sits higher and further out than an eyeglass mirror- I've never used an eyeglass mount. But I suspect they all take some getting used to, and no one works for everyone.

Well yes and no.....it works perfectly well as far as the visor itself. My problem with it is that it's much too small for use in my van (the TV commercial shows semi-truck drivers using it- there's no way that would work -too big a windshield and the area covered by the visor is too small). However in my daughter's car it works fine. But it makes driving into glare much much easier, both at night and during the day.

I dont know why they would make this comment. I have these visors in both my cars and they work great. Definitely would recommend.
