What are people using, what do you like/dislike about it?
I'm after a new one and have a choice between the Oakley visors (straight and extra curved) or the Itech Pro-cut visor. Not sure which to go for yet.
What do you guys use?

Itech HS pro visors are wicked but only certain Oakley and Jofa visors are fully credited. If they go zero tolerance on the kit then youll have to have one of those
The jofa is the one I/Luke/Matt Myers use

Rich, I thought you had the large Oakley visor? The Jofa one is very similar then?
You prefer the larger 1/2 visor to the slimmer straight one?
I might get the large curved visor, as it seems to cut down nice and close to the face and below the nose for greater protection. Last thing I want is a stick up the inside of the visor!
[EDIT] Just noticed the Oakley visor on the Puck Stop's website say's Jofa on the side. I guess they are one and the same then!

Theyre very similar, its a jofa design. Nath-they can fit with the usual screws or the side straps. The straps are the best idea but look a bit pompus if your bothered about that kinda thing!

I recommend screws.... I tried to angle my visor up a bit but theres little nobbly bits that push the helmet in out of shape....
Im gonna get a new one i reckon... probably an oakley one.... or i might get a face cage!

The new EIHA ruling that WILL be enforced this year is that all visors must cover the tip of the nose, and must be fitted as the manufactorer reccommends. What this means is that you cannot tilt the visor upwards, it must sit straight.
Also, the top edge of your helmet can sit no more than one fingers width above your eyebrows. yet another silly rule!
The slim oakley and itech visors will not cover the tip of your nose (unless you have a very small face) and are now aimed at just the elite league! Also, if buying a visor with a curved bottom edge, be sure that the visor still covers the entire nose. You may find that the curve makes the visor illegal.
The one i use (what Matty Myers also uses) is the Jofa 9000 if i remember correctly. Looks ok, covers nose and is very scratch and mist resistant!

if a visor says referee in size, does this mean it can only be used by officials? just a lot say referee on the puckstop visor pages.
