I ordered a Fulmer 9B Ishade this past Sunday. It is vented and has a removable washable liner, can't wait to try it.

I love my Harley 3/4, I think they call it "Sun Shield". Just wear a pair of "Deci-Damp 2's" if 3/4 helmuts are too noisey for you.

There are at least 3-4 models out there from various companies so I'm just looking to find out who uses which one and if they like it and why or why not.

I really don't want a pot sitting atop my head so giving up my current lid is not easy.

I've been very pleased with the Scorpion Exo-900.

My father-in-law recently bought this one and loves it. He was wearing a big ole pair of goggles that fit over his glasses.

I have a Nolan N90 modular and like it.
It has the internal flip down tinted visor.

But lately I bought some ugly goggles from Captain Itch that I love and they fit over glasses nicely. I got a clear pair of them too for night time.

Most of those make me look like a bug! The best pair of overglasses I have found for me actually came from HD and only costs $25. I don't have the model number anymore and they only come in black and charcoal.

I have the gmax one with the cracked skull and I love it. At 80 bucks I couldn't resist. I also wear glasses and hated the visors as I felt Like a dirtbike rider again. Now I feel like I'm riding a cobra helicopter lollol.
