Does the visor flip up?
Yes the visor flips up.

They make a "battlescar" version in olive green, and they make a gold visor. If you want to look like Master Chief, Icon abides.

That helmet is popular in the squid groups and stuff I've seen around the interwebs.

I'm seeing visions of no mirrors, slammed 3 inches, stretched, t-shirt..

That's a HJC dirt helmet.

Ok, no more suggestions from the GSXR peanut gallery.

I'm only accepting comments from riders of non-generic bikes. :D

It's supposed to look like a dirtbike helmet. It's a very street-friendly dual-sport helmet.

It's not available in camo. The Battlescar paint is the closest you can get.

The one downside is that changing face shields is a bitch and a half. You need a tool, you have to take parts and screws off the helmet, and you have to be veeeery careful not to bend this stupid plastic piece. I bent mine, needed a little screwdriver to hold it up so the smoke face shield could snap in. I'm just wearing the dark smoke shield day or night, screw swapping it out.
