I was wondering if anyone has used the new Defender visor that cairns has come out with. I have tried it on and it seems to fit my face pretty well. It also seems to provide pretty good eye protection. Just curious about other peoples success/failure with this new product.

I have it and love it!! Got mine about 1 month ago after using another cairns helmet with the face shield. It was front heavy so I opted for the visor that stores away when not in use. Great functionality too!!

I looked at this online how well does it work when wearing the scba as our SOP states we must have a sheild down when we have our SCBA's on.

it looks all fine and dandy except. I do not like the fact it is not sealed and henceforth can allow embers, etc to close to your eyes. I will stick with my goggles

Believe it or not, that doesn't happen.  I was in the middle of a field fire last month and no embers came flying up my shield.  In fact it was a VERY windy day too and no problems what-so-ever.  They touch down on to your cheeks so there wasn't much room for anything flying under the shield.
