I was intriuged by the HEAD integrated visor/google-replacement helmets, and used the HEAD Radar helmet all last season (23-24). I love the sphere fit, which is very comfortable since it conforms to your head shape. My head is 59cm and thus at the top of the range of the M/L size, and the Radar helmet was very comfortable.
With the Radar, the way the visor/goggle-replacement works is that there is an clip mounted via an elastic cord to the helmet, that mechanically clicks into the visor/google-replacement. It can be raised and is held by a click stop on the helmet but because of the elastic at each side, needs two hands to bring up and down as it needs to be extended away from the helmet before being moved. The lens is big and provides good peripheral vision, but again because of the elastic, is pretty tight to your face, i.e. as tight as a google would be. This seals the visor pretty well, so that no wind gets behind the lens at speed. The visor padding is comfortable, but it is not a "low bridge" fit. Since I have a low bridge, I ended up gluing some more foam into the nose bridge area to close the gap. The main problem I had with the visor/goggle replacement is due to my wearing glasses. My glasses are rather wide, and although they fit behind the lens, the tightness of the fit causes my glasses to be somewhat smushed against my face, requiring some fiddling to get it comfortable, but often, my glasses get pushed onto my face enough so that their lenses get smudged, and I have to do the whole thing again to clean them and re-fit them. A bit of a pain.
That was something I could live with, but the reason I ended up with a Cinema Pro, HEAD's next generation of visor/goggle replacement, is because the clip holding the lens onto the Radar helmet became unusable. I had two lenses, one for sun, one for flat light, and I switched between them every now and then. Last trip, I switched back to the sun lens, and one of the clips failed to hold the lens. Perhaps I was too rough removing the lens, though there is no obvious damage either to the clip or the lens, but although one lens clipped in fine, the other lens, the sun one which I mainly use, did not.
So I needed to get a replacement lens. Well, it turned out that Lone Pine Gear Exchange, which normally does not sell helmets because they're primarily a seller of used equipment, had a Cinema Pro for pretty much the same price as another lens for my Radar helmet, so I decided to get it. Here're the differences, though I have not yet skiied with the Cinema Pro.
The helmet fit seems tighter even though it's the same size, perhaps it'll break in. The visor is completely different. Instead of being on elastic, it now just hinges up/down. The lens can still be changed, and the attachment mechanism is completely different. But because there's now no elastic, the visor does not feel like wearing a google. The foam surround still touches my face, and probably there is still the low bridge issue, but it's very comfortable in the sense that it feels hardly there. I'll have to see how well it does at speed in terms of letting in air. It does fit over my glasses much better, with no issue of affecting how my glasses are worn.
Will update after a day on the slopes.
The problem with busybox is that it doesn't support a whole bunch of useful stuff that would help in this situation, such as sudo, and therefore the wheel solution proposed in other posts, in /etc/sudoers , can't be done. Likewise, usermod is not available, and even adduser -u 0 doesn't work because it complains that "UID 0 is already used". What you have to do is simple: adduser user vi /etc/passwd and modify the uid of user . /etc/passwd will look something like this: root:x:0:0:root:/home:/bin/sh daemon:x:1:1:daemon:/usr/sbin:/bin/sh sampleUser:x:1000:1000:Linux User,,,:/home/sampleUser:/bin/sh to give sampleUser root privileges, edit like this: sampleUser:x:0:0:Linux User,,,:/home/sampleUser:/bin/sh I.e. set sampleUser's uid = 0 Done.
