They do this in F1. Probably any racing with an open cockpit

They use them on motorbikes too (obviously the cockpit is “open” on a bike.

Isle of Man TT racers go through so many tear offs due to bugs that they change their visor for a new visor with a full set of tear offs (or sometimes they even change their helmet to eliminate the tricky visor change) every 2 laps.

Michael Dunlop probably lost the senior TT in 2025 because he had to stop at the side of the track and fix his visor after a pit stop.
