I have a Bern Brentwood helmet, and have discovered a bit of an issue recently. While I love the look and fit of the helmet, I've discovered that the built in visor is causing more of a hinderance that help. When I'm tucked down into my bullhorns, I'm finding it hard to raise my head enough to not have the visor blocking out some of my vision. This was never much of an issue when I was just riding on bike paths, but now that I'm commuting to work on somewhat busy streets I'd rather not have my vision block at all. Not sure if this is an issue with my flexibility, or if it's like this way for everyone. I've tried looking to see if Bern makes an insert that doesn't have the visor, but I can only find the winter one. The helmet is much to big when I try and wear it without any insert at all. Any suggestions? I'd like to avoid having to buy a new helmet, but if that's what I have to do I'll do it.
