Full face or open lid?

I've had two Urge Endur-O-Matic helmets, light weight but offers good protection coverage (so can get hot on a summer day but will keep you warm on a cold winters day). Feels me with converdence when trail riding in Wales.

Open face.
I have
urge down o matic (DH)
Bell Slant (road)
Salomon boarding lid (keeping my ears warm! )

I like the bell super helmet and those of that ilk but looking for recommendations i dare say lots of people on here use them

I have a THE one, it would be better if iit fitted better, I like the Giro, so currently looking at one of those for this season, I find the Giro's fit me better.
Only downside of the Urge i think is they look so dam ugly, no matter how good they are.

Will have reviews up for these 2 soon - you can see Northern rocking a Parabellum here http://www.essexhertsmtb.co.uk/reviews/ ... e-mk-2.php

Both rather good although only having 2 sizes might give a few people fit issues.

Yep I ordered the golden eye first from CRC and was gutted when I didn't like the fit :cry:

The parabellum fitted like a glove!, more of a all mountain as an enduro but well worth a look ! you get the camera mount on both lids as MET own BLUEGRASS!, quality & fitment are light years ahead of my previous lid! covered around 200 miles on it so far all good ;)
