When I am wearing a helmet how we express it's mirror is up/down? or (closed/open)?
Example: You should wear the helmet with it's mirror down to help protect you from dirt.
Is it right?

Re: Helmet's mirror up/down? or (closed/open)?
I think it's a visor not a mirror, and you would say:
- You should wear the helmet with its visor down to help protect you from dirt.
- You should wear the helmet with its visor down to shield your eyes.
etc
Notice "its" not "it's" (which means "it is").
