Think about a pair of transition wrap around glasses .

My Transition lenses don't turn dark when I wear my helmet. Perhaps the visor is opaque to that part of the light spectrum that makes them change?
Transition glasses don't turn dark with the visor down just like they don't turn very dark while driving you car ...i think there has to be direct contact with UV rays for them to activate .

  That said some of the Bell Helmets have an optional transition shield which would be the ultimate shield to have but at the same time it won't solve the bug in your eyes problem when you flip up the shield while riding .



No matter though , i still recomend Glasses.

what am I missing?

Current proficiency riding skills. It is the front line defense in personal protection when things go bad.

I much prefer the standard helmet/visor design

 scratcher

What is a standard helmet? Beanie cap with a hinged visor or FF or something in between? And if it's not FF, are you willing to hold your nose against a running wood shop belt sander with it on?

I really like my HJC IS-Max - integrated/retractable sun visor is awesome with glasses!

Hondo:

I have an HJC CL-15 and it is very comfortable & easy to wear, but when it comes to ventilation, I need to remove the windshield or ride at highway speeds in order to get some decent air flow through my head.

How is the IS-Max's air flow?

Most reviews rave about this helmet, and it is about $25 less than the new "BILT" modulars that I checked out.
