i guess its an aviator with the top stuff cut off. not to be mistaked for a "pro modified aviator", which appears to have a different cut all together...

its the certified visor without the vents
in other words, you can't get it unless you can somehow get one from a senator's team sale

I think Weinhandl on Minny wears the same one...or at least a similar one.

I think the only thing the same is the Oakley logo :) Different molds/styles (look at the top vent holes on Minny's vs. none on Heatleys).

When Heatley was wearing/trying the Itech visor (a few years ago), we used to have to custom cut it for him. The funny part was that he might as well have been wearing a full face visor because it is SO long!

This Oakley looks pretty good though for being so long. Can't say the same for Heatley!

If you're looking for a large visor you may want to consider the Itech one. I think the latest model is the X100. It's certified and it easily clicks in and out of its holder for easy cleaning. I have the older version which some say is heavy. The newer mounting system is more lightweight.

Oakly will likely be cheaper first time around. But the Itech solution is better in the long run because replacement visors are sold in boxes of two, and as mentioned earlier, clip in and out without any tools.

Worth considering at least.
