A friend of mine had an accident with her horse and her Troxel visor cut the
bridge of her nose quite badly.  We just bought replacement visors for our
Troxel's  from Sportack.  They are great!  They are made of neoprene covered
with stretch nylon.  They velcro to the helmet.  We bought the medium size
which is 3 1/2 inches.  The long is 5 1/2" and that seemed too large.  We are
very happy with our mediums.  They cost $16.95.  Sportack's number is
800-248-8225.  I would highly recommend replacing the Troxel visors with
these flexible ones.
