Helmets Ok ! Help finding helmet sun visor.


I have used the SuperVisor on my HJC for 6 years. I use it as my "inbetween" season riding: fall and spring when the sun is low in the horizon. I also have the Sunblocker which is for summer use; keeps the "squint" out of your eye, but cannot compare to the effectiveness of the Supervisor.

Downside of the Supervisor, is that it boxes in your vertical vision. While the supervisor has detachable plastic tabs, they do break. I ended up drilling small holes in the top of my visor, and screwing in the Supervisor to a permanent fix.
 
I used a supervisor until it flew off the helmet at 55mph. When it is hot out, I sometimes flip the visor up to get more airflow. However, that puts the visor vertical to the wind and over time, it came loose.
I have also made a tinted top strip (sun blocker) for the visor from static cling windshield tint and it stays on without a problem. However, that doesn't solve the problem of wanting the visor up sometimes for heat relief and then I am constantly fitting the wind turbulence which keeps flipping it down.
My latest solution for hot weather riding is shown below. Inexpensive snap-on visor with the snaps drilled off and then attached with industrial Velcro. Velcro is thin enough that it does not interfere with the regular visor if I need to put it on for riding in the rain (keep the full visor on the bike). Obviously I can't use both at the same time and I lose the protection of a full visor for flying bugs, debris, and in a mishap. It is a trade-off but worth it to me.
