Thats a matter of opinion

its a matter of it will stop small impacts ie concussions etc .. might not stop a car/truck crunching your head . use it dont use it . 

[Paul Ruinaard]

I once completed an IronMan wearing a full-face during the TT. Don't let the haters hold you back. 

 

 

Remember to post some lekker selfies on the Commuter thread. 

Check those wheels - the Specialized force was strong in you.

 if there is a pip to save of course.. you know the who Darwin thing.. or is someone going to bring up the point that other rode users will drive "safer"  around you if they see you without a helmet

Ha ha....I thought it was pretty obvious

"normal" helmet, full face helmet, mx helmet, no helmet - your head your choice,

 

As long as it is comfortable I don't see the issue - my only concern would be peripheral vision - don't full facers reduce this a bit? Probably not safe in traffic.

 

Try it and see.

Also makes it difficult to turn your head to see behind you. On long commutes you'll need bloody strong neck muscles, yes, you'll develop a one piece neck-and-chest like a rugby hooker.

IT HAS HAPPENED, I bought a Full Face,

5km commute (one way) - sea point to CBD. No hills, gentle cruise, on an SS with a full face. Shouldn't sweat too much...

 

Why??? The subtle art of not giving a F***

Christmas gift read.

Like on a Vespa / Scooter surely.

Wow, so why ask?

In ref to Odinsons picture

Not as dof as some of the TT helmets you see at triathlons

I saw a family cycling in the spruit this weekend. The little kiddos were all on their various size BMX's and wearing full face helmets. Apart from looking very cool, I thought this was a really good idea for kids. I've never seen it before but I'm wondering if this will become a thing?

still maintain everyone should be rocking full face lids ... especially on the trails, xc, am, #enduro, dh ..... if you smash your face into a rock, even at slow speeds you will know all about it and your dentist will get a new S-Works.

 

for commuting .... if you are ok from a comfort level with ventilation, which you should be on a commute as you are generally going at a decent pace, then go for it.
