Are there any decent ones?

The only ones appear to be the freebie style ones, I have an Oxford, MCN and Arai Branded ones they are all very similar and basically crap. The Visor falls out far to easily, and whilst wearing it it twists round. I was thinking about making my own from neoprene. Inspired from by tablet and kindle cases something like this but visor shaped.

You still have to use a clear visor then for the commute?

Assuming times you leave vary, but I leave at 8am and 5pm to and from work and have been using black visor, no problems?

I did fancy getting one of those bags but didn't know much about them, glad I didn't pick up an Arai one!

What they also do now is tint inserts which change from clear to dark depending on lighting conditions like the glasses you can get which may be easier than carrying a visor?

I've got an Oxford one that I've used for years, never had any problems with it moving or the visor falling out.
I also have a free on but the it is a much tighter fit for the visor so I don't use it.
