I bought the HJC IS-MAX from New Enough Leathers. Great deal, and this helmet has the integreated sunshield. I love it!

If you stroke it more than twice; you're playing with it.

Got a question while we are talking faceshields. How much of a reduction of visibility do you get when using mirrored or darker colors when riding at night? I have always used clear ones so I could see as well as possible. I wear photo-gray type prescription glasses, so bright sun is not an issue with the clear ones either.

Thanks Terry,
I think that answers my question. I think I'll probubly stick with functionality over appearance. To much hassel to change from one to the other when the sun goes down.

That's why I like the IS-Max. It has a sunscreen that can be lowered or raised with a simple hand movement. The main shield is clear. Cool helmet.
