Helmets with visors

I noticed over Christmas and New Year a number of ski helmets with integral visors, apart from the price (of around 100 for the helemet and a further 60+ for the visor) what are the dis-advantages/advantages over the helemet /goggle combination?

You'll look like a major poseur/prat

It'll be a nightmare to pack in your case. Helmet sans visor is bad enough 8)

Hi Emma,
I'm glad you got back okay, and I hope you had a great time :D

I packed my helmet with socks and things so it didn't really waste too much space in my suitcase. As long as your suitcase has enough depth I wouldn't have thought it was too much of a problem. I haven't, however, tried packing one with a visor. I'm not sure I could ski with a visor down :shock:

Thanks Ally :D

I know it's simple really. Dunno why I just ended up standing there with the lid in my hand looking at my partly packed case then the lid again etc etc. No comprendez no comprendez... round lid... square case... I even thought of wearing it all the way to solve the problem :?
