 Could be a great idea.....guess it depends if you think £150 is ok for a visor!!!!

Great idea, but £150 is a big outlay for the luxury!

don't fully understand ( and can't open any pictures / videos at work) but it says will last 12 hours in dark mode 50 hours in clear mode, does it have to be recharged?
 
if so it could be awkward on a touring holiday in Europe!!

Seems a bit OTT but these new innovations usually get improved on and drop in price after a few years.
At that price you wouldn't be in a hurry to replace them and they do get scratched with normal wear and tear.
On my last tour I took a different charger for phone, camera, 7" tablet and a sat nav (cheap car one). I don't need anything else that needs charging up!

Wonder why they dont build a solar panel in so it powers the visor in sunlight. Maybe would become even more expensive then though.

Will be a great one for the future when prices come down, but a bit steep for me when I can just carry a spare in the top box.

What about the solar panel in the helmet, and solar is a good idea because you are only going to use it when it is sunny, unless you are a knob who gives us all a bad name by riding in the dark with them.
