Be warned, if you ride without the pinlock visor, as Schuberth actually recorgnise you may want to, the retaining pins can fall out surprisingly easily and the resulting whistle is maddening! I had to buy-in more pins from Race Visors in the Channel Isles, and devise a way of holding them in that wasn't too obvious. A bit of Sellotape would be simpler...

Also, the sealing gasket around the opening is a very efficient one, but requires the visor to be snapped firmly into place using bilateral pressure. Push it down on only one side and it stays open and gives you much more ventilation than you need, especially in cold weather!
