According to https://helmets.org/visors.htm , there appears to be some concerns with hard plastic visors causing lacerations. This would not be a concern with a soft brim. The same site https://helmets.org/helmet22.htm also published, "We recommend looking for a helmet that fits you well, pleases you as wearing apparel and has a rounded, smooth exterior with no major snag points."
