Hey John,

I was over in Andorra (tax free principality between Spain and France) and bought a couple of the Schubert jet style helmets with the chin guard. I was impressed by the field of vision it gives you and the comfort that if ever, God forbid, I find myself going backwards down a road the chin guard will take the punishment.

Not cheap: 375 Euros each but the finish is great. Even have a built in sun visor inside the shell. They have a leaflet to help install the intercom.

I like the look of the Schuberth open face helmet with the steel chin guard.

John, if you mean the J1, I bought one recently, but am having trouble getting the Autocom earphones to stay put. The open face mic boom does not interfere with the chin guard. I find it impossible to get this helmet on or off with the chin guard in position. It is a comfortable helmet to wear without the guard, but very rigid with.
The visor is huge and optically true and has a one click method of removal.
