Helmets with an integrated visor are currently very popular with some manufacturers. However, hardly any manufacturer combines a classic helmet design with an integrated lens. But the traditional German forge Abus does exactly that.
equipment and practice
Admittedly, the abuse In Vizz takes a little getting used to due to its appearance. This is mainly due to the combination of the shell, which has many ventilation openings, with an integrated visor. Our test model comes in a simple, matt black. The In Vizz turns out to be relatively large, but sits relatively comfortably on the head from the first moment and, due to its size, immediately conveys a real sense of security. Adjusting the loops is easy. The fit can be adjusted at the back of the head with an adjustment wheel.
The In Vizz was developed for riders who like to do without their sports glasses when out and about, but still want to have them with them in emergency situations - we're thinking of fast descents, wind edges and so on. The integrated visor makes this possible. There is a lever on the front of the helmet, which can be used to slide the visor in front of your eyes or inside In Vizz can hide. The special thing about it is that the visor can be changed depending on the weather.
We used a dark visor. We noticed that the distance between the visor and the nose is greater than what you are used to from sports glasses. The In Vizz This makes it possible to carry them on the bike as well. If you normally use glasses with a large frame, you will not be able to avoid contact lenses.
The visor encloses the field of vision similar to tight-fitting sports glasses and provides good sun protection. However, the design offers the wind some surface to attack. Here you notice that the visor is a little further in front of the eyes seated and allows a slight draft around the eyes.
Conclusion
The Abus manufactured using the in-mold process In Vizz is new on the German market, but scores directly with its variety of functions. In terms of design, it is most likely aimed at racing cyclists and mountain bikers, but it should also be a real alternative for commuters. In addition to its soft wearing comfort, the changeable visor is an exciting addition, which is only inferior to standard sports glasses in the wind. However, if you don't want to invest in this and would rather be looking for an all-in-one model, you can't go wrong with the one that costs just under 130,00 euros In Vizz correct.
