It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Helmet tech has been advancing rather quickly of late. We’ve seen helmets that promise 100% blind-spot elimination, others that filter the air you breathe in, and even the likes of Sena and Cardo jumping in with their respective “smart” helmets.

I picked up a helmet like this around 5-7 years ago. Absolute shit. Does not block anywhere near enough light to be useful and battery doesn't last.

Only thing that works well is the sun visor you can lower when needed and even that doesn't work as well as dedicated shaded visor, but that's a bitch to swap.
