Has anyone out there tried to get rid of the visor? Or anyone know any way to take the front part off (cutting). Fuck shitty visors

why get rid of it? keeps goggles from getting blown over your head when you crash hard, keeps gaper gap at bay, and takes the brunt of a face first impact along with goggles...

Mix your sperm with hooker blood and some coke that's how they make things Matte black. Why do you think Evan, Jamie, or Zac have so much matte camera gear?

That visor has completely saved my face.

I clipped my nose (I was snowboarding) on a single barrel rail on a stairset. Got flipped over and ended up gutting the rail. My momentum carried my head over and into the steps on the other side of the rail. I couldn't get my hands down, and went face first. I felt the visor hit the stairs, and could feel the entire helmet flex. I ended up perfectly fine, without a single scratch on my face. Without that little visor, it would have been a pretty nasty injury.

Just buy a different helmet.
The last thing I'd want to do is mess with a helmet, regardless of what you're doing to it.
