I'm also going to defend the humble helmet peak...
Our local riding has a lot of low hanging branches, saplings and holly. The peak helps deflect them out of your face and over the helmet.
Also when its pissy wet (which it has been for the last few weeks) it stops the water from running down the helmet onto your face. And when it's really torrentially pissy wet you can tilt your head forward to keep the rain out of you face and still see.
I get if you ride in SoCal where it's dry and there are no low hangers then the peak is of no use at all.
