Visibility is one important thing because when you are on a long trip or even on a short commute, visual distortion can cause a major incident. And you don’t want that for sure.
And for these adventure or dual-sport helmets, the view-port is bigger than the day-to-day low profile full-face helmets. This one also got a bigger viewpoint, but as I mentioned earlier, this helmet is made based on street profile than off-roading.
So, the view-port on this one isn’t that big, something you might see on other helmets like the Bell MX-9. However, it shouldn’t give you a hard time here as smaller goggles should fit right into the port.
And for the face shield itself, it has a bit of a different design than you might see on a typical budget dual-sport helmet. It’s scratch resistant, multi-step opening mechanism included. One thing you’ll notice about this opening mechanism is you can open the shield with both hands. That’s kind of awesome because you can operate face shield opening with either of your hand.
Another thing impressive about this helmet is it comes with a Max-Vision Pinlock insert lens included out of the box. These Pinlock inserts work like a charm when it comes to preventing fogging up. So, you’ll get a pretty decent face shield here, with this AGV AX9 helmet.
