HI GUYS, I HAVE A PROBLEM.
I AM WANTING A HELMET BUT I AM NOT SURE IF I WANT OR NEED A NORMAL TYPE OF XC HELMET OR A FULL FACE.
I RIDE UP AND DOWN MOUNTAINS IN AUSTRIA. NOW I DONT RIDE ON THE ROAD WITH A HELMET BUT I DO FEEL VUNERABLE WHEN RIDING DOWN THE MOUNTAIN. I DONT RIDE DH BUT IT IS IN PARTS A RED ROUTE AT PARTS.
SO WHEN RIDING UP IM NOT SURE IF I WOULD WEAR A HELMET BUT I WANT ONE FOR THE RIDE DOWN.
I DONT THINK I WOULD GET THE PROTECTION FROM A NORMAL TYPE BUT THINK A FULL FACE IS TOO MUCH TO TAKE UP ON A RIDE...
OPINIONS PLEASE

Giro Xen is a good halfway house, no face coverage but covers the back of your head really well.
If you don't think you will fall off, don't wear a helmet.
If you think you might fall off gently, wear a normal helmet.
If you think you're going to have a massive crash on your head, wear a fullface helmet (and gaffer-tape a mattress to it, too)
thanks for help people...
shift and typing takes ages!!!
