Open face are for a closed cockpit, no need for a visor, although you can wear one if you are worried about broken glass, personally I just wear a set of Oakleys for eye protection.

Arai's are very good, but they rely on you having a typical head shape, so not everyone finds them comfortable for long term use, and prefer the shape and fit of a Shoei. The Shoei are better value for money imho.

Just bear in mind that helmets are only as good as how you look after them, as they are all tested to the same standards, although I would prefer a carbon/kevlar for the weight and durability compared to a thermoplastic (polycarbonate).

I have the V2 Pro in white, all the stickers are removeable.

Not the most amazing quality in the world, but for the price and regulations, it's a good helmet.

Thanks

Just got this helmet
http://www.v2sport.com/Tour/V2tour-b...ng-helmet.html
And seems to sit on my head quite high, is this normal?
Although its fits well and if i got a bigger size then i would be able to shake my helmet and wobble it. But this one i cant wobble so its right size for my head.
Just wanted to ask all those with openface helmets, is this normal?
