I have a Scorpion half helmet with the pull down sunshade and recently bought the HD half with pull down sunshade and prefer the HD model. It is lighter, is more comfortable and I like the action on the shade better. Both about the same price as I recall.

 

I also have the Bell Pit Boss. Cool design on the matte black with gloss black checkered stripes.

 

I bought the HD half helmet a few years back and still like it. I believe it's made by HJC, a local metric shop has them on the shelf. Just got back from a 2,000 mile ride and the sun shield work as advertised. Also blocks some wind to prevent eye"tearing" if you suffer from that. My plans are to buy another one soon.

 

I used the GMax for a time, they were very good quality and looked good. I stopped using it because it didn't keep the wind out of my eyes.

 

I second (or third) all the positive comments... it works really well for me. My daily wear glasses are too thick and I can't drop the visor, but my cheaper pair fits fine. There is no nose rub. I bought the HD one only because it fit me best - only two brands have traditionally fit me well in any style, HJC and Joe Rocket (and now HD). Of course, like another said, I think HJC makes all three.

I use the visor on the highway and it minimizes tearing and head shake. Back roads I seldom use it unless it's very buggy or rainy. I believe they sell multiple shades of the shields as well.

 

A few years back I picked up a Nolan 3/4 with clear shield n a pull down visor that is has very good tint...Its a DOT but the constuction inside kinda blows, but when riding with ANY and I mean ANY glasses it does not get in the way, adds the extra tint ya need on those long days of riding in the sun...I took the clear shield off and only use the pull down tinted visor.. The outside design is great but I am quite sure there are better out there..So stay away from them unless you don't really care about the inside, only thing good about it is the visor...But if your looking for sun protection it will work..Otherwise they blow and I would look elsewhere...

 

I also use the Bell Pit Boss... Best 1/2 helmet I've ever used due to the adjustable head gear and the flip down shield.

 

Another thumbs up for the Bell Pit Boss!

 

HJC does make some of the HD helmets. I have one that I like. Not heavily tinted, can be used after sunset. Like all lids, it does buffet some on the soft tails.

 

my wife and I both have these helmets. We love the pull down sun visor.

My next investment is the modular helmet design with flip up full face, and sun visor with a full face shield. They run 250 bucks from HD.
