A helmet comprising:
- a helmet shell defining a cavity, the helmet shell comprising left and right helmet mounting sections defined on left and right sides thereof;
- a visor mounting system comprising a primary visor connector made of a single piece and adapted for connection with the left and right helmet mounting sections;
- and
- a primary visor removably and pivotally connected to the primary visor connector and adapted to pivot about a primary pivot axis,
- wherein the left and right helmet mounting sections are asymmetric in order to enable the connection of a pair of identical primary visor connectors to respective helmet mounting sections and in respective orientations, and
- wherein the primary visor comprises visor mounting sections removably and pivotally connectable to the primary visor connector, and wherein the visor mounting sections are asymmetric to enable connection to the pair of identical primary visor connectors positioned in respective orientations.
