Cool design, but do have some questions. Does this restrict or impact your FOV(field of view)? Do you feel as safe vision performance wise if you are not wearing the visor?

No problem, except when not reclined I must tilt my head up or lift the helmet (as when walking).

I finally added a Varia radar device. Running 3 lights. Top is an emoji light that I have set for one of the default patterns showing double arrows that move up. Second is a Bontrager light with bright flash. Third is the light that is part of the Varia radar device also set to bright flash. As mentioned in prior post I added a pvc pipe to extend the reach of the accessories post up and back.
I really like the Varia radar device.

I've used the DaBrim Rezzo helmet visor for years and love it.
My favorite bike tech is the Tigra FitClic Neo Magnetic Bike Strap for holding my phone on the handlebars. I don't worry about aerodynamics that much and I love using a smartphone for GPS and tracking with RideGPS app. My helmet has a bluetooth headset built in so I can listen to music and answer phone calls. The speakers don't go in the ears, so there's no blocking of ambient noise.
I also have a cheap bike alarm that works really well. This is the one I have, but there's are alternatives on Amazon. Only $32. Rechargeable. The charge will last at least a month. The alarm is loud enough to hear it go off while in a convenience store.

Which helmet do you have. Is it comfortable with the headrest?

Very comfortable helmet, unfortunately, the company no longer sells them. This is the one:
COROS SafeSound Road Smart Cycling Helmet with Ear Opening Sound System SOS Emergency Alert LED Tail Light| Bluetooth Connection for Music and Phone Calls| Lightweight (White, L (59-63CM))
Purchased on Amazon, but no longer. It's a real bummer as I don't know what other helmet would be a good replacement should mine break. The helmet won't break, but the Bluetooth features might. I do see other Bluetooth helmets on Amazon.

Bummer All those others look like they would interfere with headrest. Thanks

That's exactly what I was wondering. Also, not sure I could put the DaBrim strap around them to hold the visor on.

I use certain model Lazer helmets because the retention knob is on the top of the helmet, instead of at the back. I have no interference with my V20c and S30.

They look like nice helmets, but they don't have a headset built in, so no go for me.

Which models?

I use the G1 Mips. The Vento Kineticore, Z1 Kineticore, Strada Kineticore, and Sphere Mips all have adjusters that aren't where the headrest is.

Do you have to use their bottles or can you incorporate your own? BTW, nice bike...I have the same color.

You can use your own as long as you fit the Fidlock adaptor… But I’ve got their own bottles..
My bike is currently listed on UK eBay as SWMBO is insistent that I sell one of the two…
Whichever sells first out of the vendetta and my Bacchetta CA3.0 will make somebody very happy.. they’re both fantastic bikes…

I like this option however, the website states that it is for use with plastic bottles. I carry two thermal, steel, bottles and I don't think the thin straps will hold because my bottles have no indentations for the straps. I suppose this would work with the new Camelback thermal bottles though.

Thanks for the recommendations. Since I've just gotten a V20c, I'm looking at getting the Lazer G1 MIPS as you suggested.
