Helmet Cover
Monday, September 6th, 2010Where is a face sheild for a bicycle helmet?
I would like to know where to find on the Web a bicycle helmet either with a built-in face shield (covering the actual eyes and face, not just a "peak" like the brim of a baseball cap), or a separate face shield that you can attach to a helmet to cover your eyes and face.
Try not to limit your focus to visors on the "time trial" style bicycle helmets. No references to motorcycle-only helmets please! I am referring to bicycle helmets.
Please link to pictures!
Jett Boy has mentioned a nice one. If you are reading this, is there any way that you can email me a picture of the face shield?
I think you are looking for a BMX helmet.. Those would have wraparound chin guards, and popular bicycle accessory brands like Giro and Bell offer them. These BMX helmets are lightweight and rated for bicycle use, not for motorcycle use. Though if you want something heavier-duty, you can get motorcross helmets.
Here's the Bell BMX offering: http://www.amazon.com/Bell-Bellistic-Mountain-Downhill-Helmet/dp/B000ILOBAG/ref=sr_1_17/002-1534971-9251239?ie=UTF8&s=sporting-goods&qid=1180323967&sr=8-17
Or you can buy the face mask and goggles as a separate piece if you have a helmet that does not have a face/chin guard: http://www.amazon.com/JT-X-FIRE-Goggles-System-Olive/dp/B000PRKPN0/ref=sr_1_5/002-1534971-9251239?ie=UTF8&s=sporting-goods&qid=1180324245&sr=8-5
Hope this helps a little.
