1. Anybody have any (knowledgeable) comments on the optical quality of the drop down sunscreen on the NEO? Optical clarity is a BFD to me as the new generation of low profile light bars on cop cars is a lot harder to spot at a distance than the old fashioned “gumball dispensers”. I (briefly) had one of the early generation HJC SY-MAX’s and the sunscreen was so optically deplorable that I wouldn’t be able to spot a cop car if I ran into it.
   
   And with the light having to make its way through the shield, a pin-lock, and the sunscreen on the NEO, a guy has to wonder.
   

I am anal when it comes to clarity on my sunglasses or my helmet visors. One little scratch, and I tend to buy a new shield. I can tell you that the Neotec sun visor, pinlock insert, and shield are very very good. You would hard pressed to find better clarity,and if you choose to procure one, I am confident you will be happy with it.

Just what I wanted to hear!

Thanks Bro.

I do wish the sun visor would come down further though

We sell the Neotec at the shop I work at, This will be the next helmet I buy....

Jim, there seems to be a lot of interest in this helmet, and I'm holding out for a good price on a Borealis. Any chance your shop would like to offer a group buy discount?
