That's almost like snowboard goggle. I don't know much I would enjoy that set up. Of course that would feel different as a road biker. I pretty much am a mountain biker.

The integrated visor is for time trial/triathlon and not for normal road races. Might check them out (not the TT helmet) when they come out (depending on what discounts I'll get..)

It is a cool concept. I would like to see how it progresses into the next couple generations. The other thread on this topic made a good point about Oakley having a hard time making in roads into the cycling community. Hopefully this gets accepted.

February can't come soon enough. Highlight for me is the minimal padding. My Bontrager Ballista is probably as low-profile as things get, but I don't mind another option. Likely getting the 7, but I'm not sure how they think they can command $500 off the bat. I get that there's the lenses included, and MIPS, but it better come in cool colors.

All of a sudden the Paul Smith x Kask Protone isn't all that expensive.

For $500 it needs to have a Bluetooth speaker on it to play music. I fall off of my bike too much. Rarely do I hit my head, but sometimes I do. "Minimal"padding is not a selling point to me. I am not their target audience.

What a long way from the first Oakley product "the Oakley Grip" in 1975 to bike helmets in 2017.
