Default SA2010 Helmets - Forehead padding?

I've been through a couple SA2010 helmets (Pyrotect, G-Force) and found them to be extremely uncomfortable as there is no padding in the forehead area, just a piece of hard foam covered by thin fabric.

Does anyone have an SA2010 helmet that has padding in the forehead area?

Thanks.

My Impact helmet doesn't but neither did my Simpson SA2005. Padding would compress too much on impact so I suspect they don't have any padding there. The Hard Foam will compress under impact but padding would allow too much movement.

I bought the brand new SA2010 BELL helmet...open face.

Awesome and light!

I did take off the sunvisor....I wear sunglasses driving, and it gets in the way.
