Thank you for clearly showing that it works with prescription glasses...I called head asking that very question, and rep wasn't sure, can u believe that...thanks again!
I have a radar and can say that the flipping up and down of the visor and the opening and closing of the chin strap are comepletely effortless after a few goes - recommend these - also very comfy & now available with a photochromatic lens
Do you get a good seal with the visor at high speeds? Also, did the stock visor work in most lighting conditions or did you have to get a separate visor for flat light?
@@e-bikeskibum7141 the stock visor was OK. You can buy a low light one but I purchased a photochromic one which cost a bit more but is totally brilliant.
Atomic now does a similar design, as does Salomon, as does Oakley. And the flagship helmet of all of them including Head is in the £400 region. I'm returning to skiing in January - after a 35 year gap as a mature beginner, and will be in the market for a helmet in October, the question is which brand to go for. 🤷♂
First, the Rachel is the female version. That could be the reason you don't like the color scheme ;) The male version is called Radar. Then the main reason for fogging is hot sweat condensing on the colder glasses. A good ventilation is key on both, visors and goggles. Have you tried it in bad weather skiing? I have another visor helmet which is crap in snowy conditions. I would expect the Radar/Rachel to perform much better.
Seems like the big problem with all of these helmets is the snowy/windy condition days would you agree? Looks like on bluebird days these helmets will be just fine. I'm concerned about the snow and then the fog being an issue on the mountain and possibly ruining my day.
I would think it'd be the opposite no? They should excel in snowy/windy days because the goggle seals against the helmet and theoretically your face (this guy's face is just small).
A gap between the lower edge of the face and visor lets expelled breath to condense on the inner visor surface. There no adjustment to eliminate this. Lots of fogging up. Blowing snow also ends up there. Big disappointment.

I don't know why you're not sure about the colours? Navy blue and salmon pink . . just like your jacket
Great review, very helpful and informative. Thanks for posting!!!

Meanwhile, it's the exact colors of the jacket you're wearing.

Do you know if you can put helmet audio in the Head Rachel Helmet? I can't find pockets in the ear pads.

All I can say is that I haven't had any issues with mine and I've skied in various conditions

How does this Head Radar/Rachel visor system perform with eyeglasses and fogging in real skiing conditions? Can someone give a testimonial?
are there any helmet like this for kids who wears eye glasses
I just bought one of these, did these come with both visors in the box, or just the yellow one? Cheers :)
Gosh I honestly cant remember. But I'd recommend the photo chromatic option which you can now buy
Had to laugh about the colour comments. The helmet has the same colours as your jacket, which looks blue with orange highlights.
These causes more fog than regular googles?
