I totally agree, why wear something decorative when you could use something that actually provides protection?

For a 'different' open face helmet that would actually provide some level protection I think the Draxtar helmet is quite a funky bit of kit.

Yeah that is pretty funky if your a fighter pilot, i ride a hardtailed chop, so wouldnt look right, the helmet i showed is USA, DOT approved,but a lot of custom bike riders wear them in this country anyway.

No chin-guard is just asking for problems if you fall off.

Many, many years ago I managed to crash on my mum's moped *1 at a mere 30 mph - the scratches on the chin guard of my helmet were a couple of millimetres deep - if I'd been using her open face helmet I probably wouldn't have had a face left.

*1 Yeah, go on - laugh. It was my first night out on it havign passed my CBT a couple of days earlier and I managed to doze off, go into a hedge, then foolishly tried to correct rather than continuing into the hedge.

Hey i wouldnt laugh, and yeah i can see the safety aspect, of a full face, having worn one in the past, i dunno, its a bit of a marmite subject to be honest, i know a few people who are dead against them and vice versa.
