Helmet Maker Shoei Announces New Electronic Anti-Fog Sun Shield

I've been riding for close to two decades, and besides ample head protection, there are two things I consider essential in any motorcycle helmet I'm thinking about buying. One is, it needs some type of sun visor; usually a drop-down internal sunshade paired with a clear visor is my go-to. 

The second essential thing for me, personally, is that the visor needs to not fog up on me. Now, I'm used to riding in a wide variety of temperatures, and I also wear eyeglasses to see. So I'm used to cracking my visor just a little when it's winter out, and it's fine; I just need to see, you know? 

The advent of Pinlock visor inserts has undoubtedly been a relief for riders like me, but what if you could have a similar visor insert concept that also includes some type of sun protection? Better still, what if it offered a range of dimming that goes from light to dark, that could be controlled electronically? And as a final cherry on top, what if you had the option to control that dimming manually, or you could choose to set it to dim automatically instead with a simple flick of a switch?
