Which would type of helmet would you wear... full face, open face, flip up or just a normal safety head wear for a EMTB road/offroad use?.

I wear a MTB cycling helmet that had MIPS, it's meant to protect your head better.

i have a race class bike so it can go over 28 mph max 39.6 that helmet is a carbon rampage pro and that is heavy enough let alone a full race helmet and visor id boil in one of those things.

Them hand guards (retard rammers)look the biz. Do you catch the eye of plod at all in your gear. I ride an eBobcat 1500, i dont race but do enjoy off road(moors and dales). I wear a ski helmet from Blacks, but considering full face or chin guard type. Trying to get peoples opinion on different headwear protection

Standard open faced lid. You wear a full face anywhere other than the Alps or some bike trail park you look a complete dimwit.

i use sun glasses because they have polarized or prizm lenses for on and off road you wont get that with a visor helmet.



it is your head protect it how you like but if a lorry runs ur ass over none will save you ;)
