I mean if you need one - and you will need one - it's already too late and this review is meaningless. You're going to buy this, you're going to pay too much for it, and when you're done with it, you'll buy another because like me you opted not to completely cheap out on your helmet, but to save $100 by going to the second tier. It's a far better helmet than the trash in the $150 range but it's still no Shoei or Arai...and this afterthought of a chin curtain is a daily reminder. It loves to be pulled out with your head and your chin will eventually separate its Chinese plastic from its Malaysian cloth...hence, the reason most will read this.
If you happen to be the most forward thinking genius of all time and you decide to check up on the helmet's accessories before you buy it, well congratulations! You've just discovered one of many minor disappointments with the AGV AX-8 DS helmet.
I'm on my third one. After almost losing the first one two or three times, it finally succumbed to the wind. The next one taught me to religiously press the main tabs down with my thumbs as I slide the helmet onto my gord. It's a fun little habit that will likely stick with me for years and years to come. The two main tabs you see at the base are simply sandwiched in between a pad at the chin and the shell - that's it. At the apex of the triangle is a useless little nub. I guess useless is a little bit of an exaggeration, but all it does is index the other tabs, there's zero clicking or any method of retainment alone. Not pictured are two more tabs that are designed fine on their own, but fit loosely into floppy rubber on the helmet. They're constantly coming out.
Is not dicking around with a crappy chin curtain worth $100? I can't speak for everyone, but I can tell you what helmet I won't be buying next.
Just as describes, a little bit expensive but good. It is exactly the part that goes below your yaw to prevent cold air, mosquitos or water to come in.

Helmet Wind Protector for AX-8 Dual Sport
Easy to install, plenty of space for angle adjustment and fits beautifully on my 2020 Rebel 500.
Riding in cold weather and even rain is much better. Only wish it was 4" higher because as it is, while the wind on my torso is improved greatly, the wind noise at my helmet increased significantly. I'm now looking for a lip to help with that.
its a nice shield, but did not fit my bike right, so i had to return it.
brilliant screen, good strong fibreglass, very easy to fit, stays in place at high speeds, easy to adjust.
