How about this for a bike helmet?

The military always seems to come up with practical ideas. Are there helmets out there that have the visor attached...simiilar to Prince Harry's helmet?

If you want something like that just buy a 3/4 shell motorcycle helmet with a visor.

What's wrong with a MTB helmet? They have visors.

BTW, that's Charles, Harry's dad.

I'd get two, that way you could crap in one and cover it with the other.

hopefully where you ride no one is shooting at you? those would be a tad warm with no vents. granted my helmet won't protect from flak or shrapnel.
