Previous Feedback
Comments:Tried this visor for the first time today, when i put it on i was shocked because the way the lense curves makes it seem like you're looking through a magnifying glass, which initially put me off, but once i got on the ice, man oh man was it different! It just took a little to get used to because i was expecting something else but once i was on the ice it was like clear vision, amazing! It's so much better than a cage and it hardly steamed up on me (without any anti-fog), good ventilation and an amazing design, felt protected and it's so light it makes a huge difference from wearing a cage, highly recommend this!

Comments:Such a great overall visor, you forget that you're wearing it. The visor is about 4 inches long, so it provides good coverage while not covering the whole face. Vision through it is great, and it's never fogged on me. Plus the scratch coating actually works - I've reffed using this visor on a Bauer 5000 helmet for at least a year, been hit multiple times, and there's still not a scratch. It's great being able to flip it up without taking off the helmet. The only downside I have with it is that it is hard to remove the visor from it's mount, but I've never had a reason to remove it (at all cost, it's easy to unscrew from the helmet). Great visor for the price, and comes with all the screws, mounts, and straps you could possibly need; however, it's a good idea to get the Oakley AFR solution to clean it.
