Interestingly this clip of Harrison Schmitt of Apollo 17 shows him bouncing around the moon with his visor up.
I'm no expert, but i thought the visor was supposed to protect against the suns searing ultra-violet rays to stop astronauts getting blinded and/or a chronic case of sunburn, yet he doesn't seem to mind.
(PS- his face isn't open to space in this shot because the transparent visor is still down.
The one that's up is a secondary anti-glare visor)
