I have a Simpson Voyager...vision is unobstructed and very comfortable to wear.

The Bell S2R is a slight styling update of my SR Pro. They have the SA2005 rating, large eye opening. I guess the 2010 specs will be out soon. I wear glasses and they are easy to put on after the helmet because of the large eye opening. At SEMA Bell told me the closed face design is good "dental insurance." The helmet is heavier than open face, but isn't worn long enough to matter. Be sure to fasten and tighten the chin strap properly, as the helmet will probably fly off otherwise in an accident.

As an old fart I have to wear bifocals and have yet to find an enclosed helmet that I can see from. The problem seems to be that when I rotate my head to see to the right the helmet everything turns except my glasses causing me to have to look out of the side of my frames.....a very blurred look at the tree.

After three helmets I'm still looking for a cure, maybe different glasses.
