    Default Mountain bike full face helmet. Need help finding one

    For all you mountain bikers out there....
    Do any of you wear a full face helmet?

    I am looking for one like this but without the detachable face guard.

    I have a full face dirt bike helmet but on the really hot days when you are pedaling and sweating it is to much.
    When I do just downhill it is fine.
    But when I do long trail rides with lots of uphill it gets pretty hot.
    I just want something with the same build quality as a regular bike helmet but I want it to be a one piece.
    Anyone know of anything?

    That doesn't look like it would do much in a crash....

    Trav, you aren't pretty enough to need a full face helmet, and you most likely don't ride hard enough. Stick with a regular helmet.

    I already have a full face helmet like that.
    I need one for the 90+ degree days.
    That helmet is way too hot when pedaling for hours.


    The helmet I posted will not be as good as the one you posted but it will better than a regular bicycle helmet.

    You are probably correct on the first part.
    Is still hurts though.

    As for the second part....
    The rocks don't really care how hard you ride.
    They still hit you just the same.

    I've been riding 15 years and the only times I have seen riders on the trail with gear like that they were downhillers with knee and elbow pads and could sail 10' in the air over jumps.

    But to answer your question, don't know where you could get them. Sorry for the threadjack.

    If I am not as experienced and making 5' jumps does it make the rocks hurt less?

    In motorcycling I suggest full gear for a new rider.
    They aren't as fast as me but when they wreck it hurts just the same.

    If anything, I have a higher chance of getting hurt because I am newer to it.

    I am accustomed to wearing a full face helmet.
    So wearing a walmart bicycle lid does not feel safe to me.
    It actually feels kind of pointless.

    Sort of like Harley Riders that wear the beanie helmets. They might as well not wear one at all. It might save them from death but they will have no face left. What's the point of being alive?
