Sounds reasonable. They do supply black visors. And orange ones, for if you ride all year round.

Bought myself a black visor as an option when I bought my helmet....never been out of the packing, I felt it was a bit unsafe and a pain to keep changing..Arai and a couple of other manufacturers are bringing out reactor lite visors ....which I'd rather have ...won't be cheap..mind?

I have an LS2 with double visor. Great helmet and nice to ride with the outer visor up and the inner darkened half visor down. Comfortable, not noisy and nice straps.

If you have a dark visor on ....and it gets dark outside .....visibility goes down big time?....I don't know anyone that carries a spare visor with them?

Looked my current lid http://sharp.direct.gov.uk/testsratings ... -diversion up. But the Sharp site states 'NB. Details provided by the manufacturer' :? Perhaps still witing to be independently tested, if it is still in production that is?

I've got a Nitro n-psi. It has a double visor and a pump system that makes it a good snug fit. It has a 4 star rating and cost me £110. It also has a demister. Ticks all your boxes???
