I’m looking for an aero helmet that has a very dark visor/windscreen/built in sunglasses. Anyone have any recommendations for one?
Thanks.
somebody has an lg rocket for sale in the classifieds.
then buy a visor.
yes to make it more clear- LG rockets have optional visors that come in grey, yellow or clear- you have to buy the visor seperately
.
Another option is to get the giro advantage, buy an LG windscreen (there is a dark version), and install. That’s what I have.
And it fits fine?
Fits perfectly. There was a post back in April describing how to do it:

It’s very easy to do.
That’s awesome because I think the Giro Advantage 2 is a much better looking helmet than any of the LG helmets.
I use the Blue lens on my LG Rocket. Love it, not too dark but enough to cut the glare. Only time I’d use their dark lens would be Hawaii, or high altitude possibly.
I have a plan for an all black aero helmet and the dark lense is a requirement. To be ambiguous, I made a joke about aero helmets and I’m actually turning it into reality. Trust me, when it is complete, I’ll post pics on ST and everyone will love it.
Does anyone know where you can buy the LG Visor?
trisports.com has them.
I made mine with a visor I got from motorcycle helmets.
Trash-Talk made an excellent visor from a LG Visor to his Giro Advantage.
I wanted the visor despite John Cobbs findings of no aero benefits. I use contact lenses.
Marked the outline on the visor where it will fit into the helmet curve around the eye temples.
Cut and sanded edges.
Glued plastic arms & added a velcro on the top.
The arch of the visor is wider than the helmets so there is a natural tension that keeps them in place when attached.
The velcro secures it well on the bottom top of the helmet lid.
No warranties violated.
Works very well, visor is quite cheap I can make another with clear lens.
