As an experienced biker I wouldn't allow this thing in my helmet because I want a full uninterrupted field of vision.
We have enough problems with bad weather, flies sticking to visors and generally paying attention to what's ahead of you - vehicles pulling out of junctions, road-kill, fuel spills and potholes - i.e. riding defensively without distraction.
Most riders, once familiar with their bikes know how fast they're riding and what gear/rev ranges they're operating in from the engine sound, they don't need to watch their speedo and rev counter.
You might say, "yeah but maps?", I say plan your journey and if you have to stop a couple of times to take a look at a map then big deal. Don't put your life in danger because you switched your field of vision from watching a junction to checking a map in your helmet just at the moment a bus or a lorry pulls out because it didn't see you.

I did however dig the tinted visor.
