crash helmet with built in tinted visor

Stuza · Dec 30, 2008

Hope you had a happy xmas and are about to start an even happier new year!

Due to medical reasons I now cannot wear sunglasses under my helmet (everywhere the sunglasses touch my skin I breakout in mad achne.... very strange). Anyway, I know there are some helmets out there that have tinted visors built in to them so that you have the clear and the tinted to choose between without ever having to change the front visor - basicaly, two inside the helmet and you choose which to slide down.

Can anyone tell me who they are made by please? Can you recommend one?

I don't want cheap. They must be made to the highest safety standards and the new european "safety" standard is not good enough if this is all it meets. It would also be REALLY handy if it has bluetooth A2DP :doug

Many thanks!!!

Carberg are an ok lid, they have the built in sun visor, you can pick them up for between £100-£150, Schuberth are another one...... see below, they are more expensive, but the old bill use them also a mate of mine has one, they are very quiete too

I wear a Schuberth S1 and I love it. It's got the internal sun visor which I use all the time as I'm a speccy ****. As well as looking supercool (and it takes a lot to make me look that!) it's also the quietest helmet on the market, which is another bonus. The fit isn't for everyone so try one on first. Quality-wise, they are top kit - (that cheating German *******) Michael Schumacher wears Schuberth. I paid £320 for mine (discounted) at the bike show a year back but you can pick the S1 up for silly money (under £200) now and the S1 Pro which superceeded it is still not that expensive.
The only slight drawback is that as they are tested to Euro standards they don't come with an ACU sticker which some tracks can get upset about. I rang Oxford Products (who import them) and they sent me one FoC.

Just followed Smiffy's link and the Pro is still pretty pricey. Don't think there's a lot of difference between that and the ordinary S1 though - tried one on in a shop and seemed virtually the same.
