the answer is simple.
If you fall off and break your chin, you needed a full face.
If you don't fall off and break your chin, you are ok with an xc lid.
do you feel lucky, punk, or are you confident in your own ability?

Fullface helmets and the Alps.....

I've ridden a week with an XC lid and two-weeks with a full-facer. I felt more comfortable/safer with the full-facer.
didn't come off but saw a mate go face down which convinced me to buy a full-facer. In fact three of us bought one that lunchtime.

This topic is completely pointless. It's personal preference. Decide the risks/payoffs yourself. If you don't fall off then any/no helmet is fine. If you do then a full face is almost certainly better (as long as it's not too heavy)

s'true, altho the same could be said for virtually every thread on this forum.

I meant in a way that no one else's opinion can be truly helpful as the downsides to a full face are entirely obvious and the value of one's own face/ knowledge of one's own succeptibility to crashing and personal. There's no absolute measure of pros/cons when safety is involved. It's just risk vs hinderance.
Tyres for example can have an absolute qualities such as grip, rolling resitance, sidewall vigour etcPosted 2 years ago # -
well when you put it like that then well... I didn't actually bother reading it all after the first couple of lines
