beanz Posted December 6, 2013 Share Personally I don't see FF helmets being requires for local enduro an I don't expect that to change soon. Why not? People will start going faster and case and faceplant and some might do themselves in, and then some may decide that it's not such a bad idea.I was wondering if there is any middle ground between a full FF helmet and a standard XC lid? I don't see any big difference between some of the so-called enduro lids and a standard XC except for they're maybe a bit stronger, but there's no face protection.What about something like the casco MX?http://www.sportmall.com/fotocache/mid/ART04154.jpgPretty expensive, don't look great, but much lighter and better ventilated than a FF and definitely provide some protection from a faceplant that you're not going to get with an open face helmet. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any thoughts?I do hope the helmet manufacturers can get to make light weight, well ventilated and tough FF helmets for general trail riding!

Grebel Posted December 6, 2013 Share Where's that picture of the Urge helmet and the dude with the busted face.... I reckon the results would be even more catastrophic with that Casco lid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patches Posted December 6, 2013 Share I somehow thought this wasn't going to go down well with the purists! hahaha! I guess it is function over form. What I have noticed though is some of the enduro pros take out the foam behind the mesh on the facial vents on their regular full face lids. More airflow.

Any thoughts? That really is a POS. It will give you a false sense of security which exactly what you don't want when you are speeding down a mountain. This is the only practicle solution: Get yourself a proper trail helmet, and a proper full face helmet, and an EVOC or Dakine hydration pack, that can carry a full face helmet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motion denied.It still seems like an unsolved engineering problem to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
