    Anyone know anything about the glasses in this picture? They appear to be connected to the helmet.

      It’s a Step-In Visor. It anchors on the front brim of the helmet but gets the lens closer to your face than a traditional visor. It’s similar to some of the flight helmet visor setups. Lots of info on their website for how it attaches and the different lens/gasket options.
