Abstract
A visor protector prevents a visor secured to a helmet from being scratched when not in use such as during transportation thereof. The protector includes a protective member that essentially covers at least the external surface of the visor. The protective cover is biased in pressuring configuration against the visor by stretchable straps secured to the protective member and releasably attaching to the helmet in stretched configuration. Preferably, the protective member includes an internal shell to simultaneously cover the internal surface of the visor and to form a transversal V-shaped cross-section of the protective member for slidably receiving the visor therein.
