Abstract A visor for a protective helmet, the visor comprising at least one transparent panel and a frame which receives substantially the entire periphery of the panel in a groove, recess, or the like carried by the frame in a manner which permits rapid changing of the transparent panel. The frame comprises at least two frame parts pivotably connected with one another. In a closed position of the frame, these frame parts can be firmly connected to one another, while in a pivoted position of at least one frame part, the transparent panel can be removed from the groove recess, or the like.
