EyeSkinZ Visor Protector - Thoughts?

That overview is a little poor. I have read it and am still at a little bit of a loss as to how this product delivers it's claimed benefits.

As far as I can tell it's a piece of cloth.... here are my primary concerns:

1 - It's going to add a silly amount of wind noise
2 - At speed is it going to stay put?
3 - As a sun visor I would rather use an optically correct integrated sunshield and/or a UV tint pinlock
4 - If it rains it's going to get damp, and get mouldy. The water resistant claims seem bold at best. It's cloth, the coating or whatever treatment applied will wear. It's also going to trap moisture beneath it.
5 - From a Hi-Vis standpoint alone I would rather throw stickers on my helmet
6 - Protecting my visor is a real non issue. I can replace it for the same cost as this product and with no more frequency. I look after my helmet.

I just feel the benefits are far overstated for issues that already have cheaper and better solutions.

As a side note: For a company advocating the safety of all road users - Don't have promotional pictures of your product on a helmet where the models are wearing tank tops and cotton hoodies. Show them in proper bloody PPE!

So it is a hiviz band that attaches over the visor and which can be unrolled as a visor protector for when not in use, or if used with an open face helmet can be rolled down as a transparent mosquito type mesh for riding?

I'm sorry, but it looks awful. For the reflective angle the helmet halo does a far neater and more effective job.
The other aspects seem utterly useless.
 
load of crap
last thing you want is to pull something over a visor after a ride
you don't know what's on the visor that will scratch it.
as for looking cool, it looks stupid to me
 
Pretty sure that at least one of the functions - the 'sun visor' is what people have been doing with tape for years - I sometimes stick some at the top of the visor, for dealing with low sun.
 
I've posted this in 2 other bike forums that I'm on and the overwhelming response has been similar to this.

It makes you wonder what market research the guy did that led him to believe that such a product needed to exist. If he wanted one, sure, go ahead and make one for himself and maybe a couple for his mates. But if everyone on a bike forum says "no, this is a silly idea", why invest so much time and money into the product?
