Long Wheel Base Posted December 20, 2018 Posted December 20, 2018 will save your pip tho .. lets not go there again.. no lid no ride !!COMIC SANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ThePubSA Posted December 20, 2018 Posted December 20, 2018 Thats a matter of opinionits 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 Posted December 20, 2018 Posted December 20, 2018 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.
LeoKnight Posted December 20, 2018 Posted December 20, 2018 will save your pip tho .. lets not go there again.. no lid no ride !! 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
Grebel Posted December 20, 2018 Posted December 20, 2018 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 . You are p!ss!ng onto the wind with the worm... Rather just let nature take it's course.

Eldron Posted December 20, 2018 Posted December 20, 2018 "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.
DJR Posted December 20, 2018 Posted December 20, 2018 "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.
Sampaj Posted January 9, 2019 Author Posted January 9, 2019 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.

SwissVan Posted January 9, 2019 Posted January 9, 2019 dofIn ref to Odinsons pictureNot as dof as some of the TT helmets you see at triathlons
Chris_ Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 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?
Hairy Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 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.
