How is the sun visor on this helmet?

Typical sized bike helmet visor. Very secure and has not fallen off. My 11 yr old daughter uses the helmet regularly and it hasn't fallen off once.

I feel that the sun visor helps to keep the sun off of my forehead. It does not block my vision.

Visor generally works great, but I agree that it doesn't totally shield intense sunlight you get in the mornings and late afternoons when you face it. I'm not blinded by it, but I'm aware of it.

Sun visor is ok for overhead sun, but not early morning/later afternoon. But the helmet is excellent.

I live in Florida and is been pretty brutal the last few weeks. I've had this visor for maybe a week? At work, there is no shade I can park my car under, and mine hasn't melted. It does get pretty pliable after baking in the car all day, but so far, no melting. I don't know how bad it is in Arizona, though.

The helmet is surprisingly good on hot days. The ventilation design works well to circulate air through.

The material is pretty thin; I wear mine in all weather. Since it's shaded by the helmet it doesn't seem to matter what color it is.

As long as you are going 5mph its fine, but idle it fogs up but clears pretty fast. Great helmet for the price.

Don't know a specific %, but it is polarized. The entire visor is about a medium tint. Hope this helps.

Yes, it comes with clear and smoked tinted visors, they scratch easily, and are not fog proof. I dropped my helmet once and the the visor was scratched so bad I ordered a new visor. Helmet fits on the small side, I ordered a 2x and it is a bit tight. There is very little padding, its basically a cloth over the foam inside, the ears have all the padding. Visibility is great while wearing.

Yeah, I wear sun glasses (and occasionally skydiving goggles) with it all the time. A lot of the time in the winter I'll leave the face part off and just wear it as a hat. It's pretty respectably warm.

It's very comfortable. The straps are light. I wear it under my helmet wthout any issues.

The actual visor on the outside isn't tinted but the flip down visor inside is. Kinda like a cheap sunglasses tint but does the job VERY well when riding in the sun.

I do not have scale or the box any more, but I will say as a person whom rides atv's, motorcycles alike (and I do not like constricting helmets that are bulky), this one was a suprise the fit was pretty good with a lite feel and was very comfotable. I did take the upper shade off though, because I would just flop around no matter how much I tightened it down.

We range from about 95 to -25. I keep it clipped to my visor all the time and haven't had a problem, but I can't speak for what it is intended to handle.

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!

The large I bought was perfect and it does come with a tinted visor. It was relatively easy to change after taking some time to think about it.Kip

Looking at how other folks answered this question, I installed it differently as I am not one to even use the mirror. I would take their advice and install it on the outside surface so the mirror is still available. That being said, I am not a mirror user, so it is not an issue with me. Plus the fact that I live in Michigan, not Florida, so I will probably take the visor off in winter when we don't have much sun. Would I buy it again or recommend it? Yes, I love it! It functions very well and is a good design. Is it a bit pricey? Yes, but you get what you pay for.

The sun zapper attaches to the visor. Therefore, it only moves up and down. Effectively blocks sun much of the time.
