Today I went into a motorbike shop (Infinity motorcycles, York), and asked if they had any individual visors for sale, just to find out about them. The shop assistant I asked got interested in what I was making, so I told him that I was making a helmet for a school project, which is true. He showed me to a store room and said I could have any old visor I liked, for free. It turns out that a law was changed a few years ago which prevents motorcycle shops from selling visors, so many stores may have piles of unwanted visors which no longer fit new helmets. I've ended up with two large silvery reflective visors to use on my suit. I thought that this may interest some of you who are making a low budget suit or something; it's definitely worth looking into.
