I purchased the fun foam material that kids cutout and glue together. I made
a visor extension that goes about 4-5 Cm beyond the stock useless helmet
visor and attached it to the stock visor with hot glue. Works like a charm,
weight almost nothing and fully weatherproof.
did i mention cheap too?

Here is an alternative visor that I found - a flexible visor that attaches
with Velcro. I took it off the kayaking helmet and put on the bike helmet
when I realized how ineffective the normal visor is on a bike helmet when
sitting in recumbent position. I think the typical bike helmet visor is not
much more than decoration - not very useful on a DF bike either.

easily adjust how far you want the visor to tip down by moving where it
attaches to the Velcro at the sides.

The carbon fiber visor looks great though -- maybe will try one some day.

You are probably referring to the Carbon Spider visor
