Modular helmet with a visor?

[stormrider]

Is there any such modular helmet that has a visor? Been used to riding an open face with a visor. Keeps the sun off my mug most of the day. Even when the sun is setting, I can still tilt my head down a little to keep the sun out of my eyes. Not so with the modular I just inherited. I love the helmet, Nolan 102n com, however, I miss the visor. It has the retracting face shield and a darkened pull down half visor to help block the sun but it causes way to much distortion. So, anybody seen one or own one?

Thanks,
Stormrider

Have you considered some "tint" on a portion (or the entire) clear lens?   I have a Modular Helmet as well, but rarely use it.  I did have some cling tint that I cut to size and put on.

The Nolan has a pull down external tinted half visor. The glare from the sun still is a problem. Plus too much distortion. I wear sunglasses and with the tinted half visor, can't see then.

I have the Nolan, and appreciate the flip up sun visor, but it goes over the regular shield. 

However, I also have a Shark modular and love it!  It is designed to work as either a full or a 3/4 helmet.  The sun visor can be used without the face shield.  The chin bar goes up and back behind the helmet and snaps into place there so it's a comfortable 3/4, easily pulls forward and down, and clicks into place as a full helmet.

You might take a look at it.

I carry sun visor on a roll (electrical tape) and apply as and where needed.

I just purchased an HJC SY-MAX-II modular helmet, has the normal clear visor and a secondary click down sun visor behind the main shield. I like it because the inner visor had 3 different positions it locks into. Also optically correct, I do not see any distortion with it. Very well build helmet, woven fiberglass shell, very strong and light in weight. It replaced a Fulmer Modus modular helmet I wasted in a high speed crash 2 1/2 weeks ago.

Valker I have the same high tech stuff as you do on my shoei RF1000

Black electrical tape across the bottom and top of the visor really eliminates the glare especially riding this time of year and during the winter when the sun is lower in the sky

the black matches the helmet nicely

what would be nice is something that could make my glasses ansi compliant that wouldnt cost an arm and a leg

[Ken Tarver]

i have the sy max ll also,  i put 2 strips of elec tape at top of shield....tip head down just a bit and does the same as a visor.  a previous 3/4 helmet with a flip shield, i took the shield off and painted solid black
inside at the top.
and there is this, http://www.super-visor.com/

I also have and like (when not wearing my half helmet) the sy-max-II

a riding friend just bought the scorpion exo and loves it.
someone posted on here the other day  a video about the scorpion.
interesting.

I had the Nolan N42 up until my bounce. No problem with distortion but the sun shield rubbed on the face shield and left a mark over time. The shield was probably near the end of its usefull life pre bounce.

What I am looking at for replacement


I like 3/4 but I like the sun shield inside.

+1 on the HJC SY-MAX-II , I have one and was not disappointed, Although I did add the fog city insert due to the fact that I ride when it is cold (20 degrees) and needed something to prevent fogging.

same here grumpy....I had the same one you had and replaced it with an HJC modular with the internal visor.  I too really like it

[Bob E.]

Symax II for me also.  GREAT HELMET!!!   One thing I found though is that they apparently run smaller than other helmets.  I had to get an XL while all of my prior helmets...including the HJC dirt bike helmet I still use...are all larges.

[Demo]

Check the Shark Evoline.  I have the first model and it's great but the internal visor doesn't come down far enough.  That has supposedly been corrected in the new version.

[Kymbo]

Ive been using this one for a while now and find it great

Depending on if your willing to spend the money, I can highly recommend the Shubert C2, I purchased two of them last year while in Germany and the Wife and I rode over 6000+ miles in 11 days without any problems and the secondary internal sun visor has no distortion and the helmet itself (although a bit heavy at first) is very comfortable.

Like others I have the HJC Sy-Max II and am extremley happy with it. And even though it has a built in sun shield every now and then the sun is just too low and I need a little something extra to block the glare. Instead of electrical tape I used a Sun Blocker which is a tinted strip that uses water to adhere to the inside of the shield. I have it installed at the bottom of my shield because unless it is raining, snowing or bitter cold I like to have the face shield open. The nice thing about the Sun Blocker is that since it is tinted, when the shield is down or closed I can still read the speedo, tach, etc. through the tint.

How are you after the crash and how's the ride? Don't remember hearing anything about it.

[asfltdncr]

I believe Icon has a new one that has a visor,modular,with the retracting tinted lense however, I believe I saw a visor that you can put on any face shield for like $15.I think you can find it at Aerostitch.

Okay, I may have found something, nose cup to prevent fogging like this past Saturday, visor, flip up chin bar, anybody wear one of these on the road? Also, noticed it's Snell and DOT approved.

That's a snowmobile helmet, not a motorcycle one.  I would expect it to be rather warm for summer use.  Not sure what the other differences might be.
However, it doesn't seem to have an independent sun visor.  If I'm reading that properly, it comes with a clear and a dark shield, and you have to swap them out.  The ones other folks are talking about have an "independantly deployable" sun visor.

Understood. Was looking for something that has a visor on the exterior like this but in a flip up.

I guess mechanically it want work. Anyway, I tried the electrical tape today. Worked pretty good so will go with that for awhile till I think of something else of find something else.

[stormrider]

Thanks everyone, the electrical tape worked great.

Motorcycles have two wheels-right.Just looked at the Icon website and it is called the Variant Urban Assault helmet.Naked is too hot in the Texas summer.

What I did on my modular helmet is applied opaque blackout material to the bottom portion of my clear flip up shield, when the shield is up it gives me a visor, in effect. When it is down, the blacked out portion is well below my eye level. And I still have the flip down inner tinted visor. Most of my daytime riding is done with the tinted visor in the down position, and the clear visor, with blacked out lower portion in the up position. At night I simply flip up the tinted visor. Now, how confusing was that?

[Dag]

I have three helmets.

Shoei RF-1000


AGV Valentino Rossi model


Schuberth J-1 Open Face Helmet


I like all these models, but I give the Schubert helmet the highest score.  
• GRP, Carbon & Aramid composite shell.
• Inegrated pivoting sun visor.
• EPS modular inner shell.
• Unique removable chin-bar jet design.
• Noise reducing aero accoustics.
• Visor rated as Optical Class 1.
• HighClear III anti-fog visor coating.
• Efficient crown ventillation.
• MaxiFit interior head pads.
• Removable / washable interior lining.

You may want to check this external visor out: http://www.super-visor.com/
Been using them for years and it keeps the sun out of your eyes and off your face.
It's not the best looking, but it works.
