Regarding the Bell Transition shield yep sure, $120 for a face shield, LOL I'll be ordering that right away...NOT. Besides, I don't think the results would be any better than my sunglasses and flip down sun shield.
I have considered the Sun Shade tint strips you install at the top edge of the visor.
Regarding the Off Road helmets I have a Troy Lee and while it does offer a nice sun visor the open face deal and Sun Glass deal is not as good as a Full Coverage.
My 15" fairing windshield does block helmet buffering and directs air above my head so I don't think the visor will cause me any issues. I will begin with as is and slowly trim it back to the minimum tha still offers me some eye shade relief with the minimum lip.

The Sarai, Fly and LS2 all have face shields, they just have the added benefit of a visor, better air flow and more room at the chin and mouth.

ive seen a few dudes wearing those helmets with the visors. To me they look like a dirt bike helmet meet a full face.

This is a serious question. Does the wind just feel like it is going to rip your head off at 80mph. Also i would think when you turn your head to check your blund spot it would feel terrible

completely agree with this! plus they are super light!

The older versions, yes, a little bit.

The newer models do a good job of letting air through while blocking sun and roost. Probably not the most practical long distance helmet; but very good for city commuting and canyon carving.
