OK, Back from a ride over the pump track, I'm not gonna lie to you, its a bit weird.
First thought while riding up there was how good the ventilation was on top of the lid whilst moving, which played with my head a bit because my view was defiantly from a full face.
secondly, I put on my warm jacket to deliberately try and work up a sweat, and threw a few shapes around the pump track for about 15 mins or so. Didn't feel the need to take the lid off at all. I'm not saying its as cool as an open face lid, but its far far better than a full face and not far off a open face.
Thirdly, a 29er is far too big for a BMX track and you can cause yourself a nasty accident if your not carefull.

Sounds like it is offering the best of both then, Nice and light with good cooling for the swede, but at the same time full face protection. Only thing left is for you to test the impact protection :wtf:

Got these ones from Cycle Surgery City (where else) at 70% off. Something like £20 from RPP £54. Deco saved a L size for me. Very comfy and well padded...almost punched my son in the face testing how strong the knuckle protector is.

Just awaiting my Crank Skins to come from the USofA, carbon fibre look... Hmmmm nice (will hide the rub marks)

Other bash added to cranks, still awaiting gold crank bolts, but the bolt tool made removal and tightening a breeze with existing nuts.
