Go try it on first, might be very uncomfortable.

Flip fronts can be very noisy too.

Not seen that brand before, can you get replacement visors easy?

But then it all comes down to fitting.

Yep, pinlock is worth having and at least its a brand I recognise.

Like Stenno said it all comes down to how it fits. A ten gallon hat isn't going to fit if you've got a 5 gallon head

Definately get one with a built in sun visor, they are great and I would buy a lid without one. Using a Caberg Matt Black V2, but these are around £100.
