Modular helmet with flip down sunshield
Been looking for a new full face, modular helmet and have been thinking about the ones that have the flip down internal sunshield inside the helmet, behind the face shield. Has anyone tried these and do you like them?

scorpion exo 900. can change the sheilds, both with no tools and the chin bar part can be removed with no tools and turned into a 3/4 lid. you get a peak visor to cover the chin bar latch and hardware. its slick.

I just bought the HJC IS Blue Tooth for $199 at a local metric dealer. You can get on-line for $179 (or the HD version for $250). Not as high-end as some others, but seems to be well made and very comfortable. Riding with the shield open feels almost like my half helmet. The flip down sun visor works great and no need for sunglasses.

I tried the H-D $250 helmet. I wear an XL half helmet, but when I put the XL full helmet on, I get claustrophobic. Don't know if I need and XXL or that type of helmet is just not right for me. Check around to be sure you can keep that thing on your head for a couple three hours at a time.

Look at the Shark Evoline. A little pricey but defintely a very good helmet. Not only does the chinbar rotate up, but it goes to the back to get completely out of the way....no air drag.
You can also still use the shield in 3/4 mode and it has a sunshade!

Was looking at the Shark Evoline but desided to go with a 3/4 HJC IS-33......Bought the HJC Saturday at a Honda dealer for 129.00..HD wanted 160.00 for the same helmet..
