I used to spend a lot of time riding over grown, back woods type trails and I wore ski socks to save my shins from being scraped raw. and being poor, or cheap, I did not own short socks. I would get some weird looks when I was riding normal mountain bike trails. Then for some unexplained reason tall socks had a moment of popularity about the same time as I was spending less time in the back woods and my socks got shorter. I got to listen to people explain to me the advantages of tall socks. I am a contrarian by nature so it was kind of perfect.
not having a visor on you helmet is kin to not wearing plaid, jeans and blunstones. it’s probably fine, but you are going to stand out in a crowd.
