The helmet comes with a detachable visor which I immediately detached. Reason being that I tend to ride head down when cranking hard and the visor cuts into my forward vision to the danger point. Almost had a couple of bad ones over that issue last year.
The reason that I went with the Tactic was because of the color and the visor. I wear prescription sunglasses and get glare in from the top of the glasses when my head in lowered, especially when I'm riding in the drops. The visor keeps the glare out of my eyes and also helps shade my face. The LBS that I bought the helmet at is one of the largest in Tampa and outside of the MTB helmets, there were only one or two high end models with visors. This shop sells Gyro, LG, Specialized, Bell, and several others.
