Looking for the lightest full face helmet available !!!

I agree, it's nice helmet. I can't get past the lack of a drop down sun visor though. For my needs, I flip up to eat or take a drink of water from the hydration jug, (drinking tube), and don't want to give up the eye protection during that time. I don't eat on the bike as much as I used to when doing endurance rallies, but still, some jerky or water is common. I don't wish to lack eye protection or be restricted to goggles. Eye glasses alone don't cut it, IMHO. Even safety rated.

I think safety rated sunglasses are much more protective than a drop down visor, which I don’t think has any safety rating.

Less coverage and wind protection to the eyes, IMHO. I already wear safety rated prescription glasses. Taking a rock to the middle bridge of the nose is no fun.

To be clear, I was referring to the drop down inner visor. And yeah, a rock to the bridge of the nose (or forehead) sucks. That’s what made me switch to a full face from a 3/4 helmet years ago.

I understood. The drop down visor is thinner, but made from the same material as the main visor. It lacks the support of a closed visor, certainly. I don't ride for extended periods with the chin bar up. If I did, I'd just get a 3/4 helmet. I used to use a 3/4 for scooter commuting, which was just handier than the FF or modular since it tucked under the seat more easily and I didn't worry about someone stealing it.
