Reviewer: Richard Sharp, Dundee   (16-6-2011)

On the plus side this is a good idea for keeping the wind, ice, rain, and small rocks off of your face without the claustrophobia and faff of goggles ... and especially useful if you are a spectacle wearer. The visor flips up easily when not needed and the view through it is clear and undistorted. On the negative side the price is high considering what you get, the lugs on the visor don't fit properly into the hinges (though the connection seems still secure), the instructions are pretty abysmal, and the actual assembly requires a bit of brute force ... oh and did I mention the price. Ouch!

I've used this visor with the Meteor III helmet ice climbing in France, and it was brilliant :) I don't know why I'd never bothered before when going ice climbing - it makes life so much easier. The plus points: * Good clear vision through the visor, with anti-fog treatment so it doesn't steam up * Protects face against ice fall when climbing or belaying - you can happily hack away above your head ;) * Works well even if there is a lot of spindrift - I didn't have goggles or glasses on, and none of the spindrift was getting into my eyes * Flips up out of the way easily if you want to drink, etc * Storage position flat against the helmet for packing the helmet in a rucksack, luggage, etc (slightly fiddly, but you don't need any tools) The bad points: * At £30 the Petzl Vizion seems pretty expensive for a couple of hinges and a single piece of clear plastic, especially when you compare it to the cost of a helmet at around £60. * Initially fitting the plastic hinges onto the visor was a pain, and the written instructions were poor. I had to put so much force onto the visor I was sure I'd break it. Once fitted it is easy to use, but the instructions could be improved a lot.
