Yes the Italian series has a FF requirement for the DH sections and a helmet at all times requirement for the rest so you always carry 2 helmets. Its no big deal to carry the FF and swop over. My Kali is only 850g so I would say that. I bought it for the race and must say it makes me feel safer. I definitely end up pushing much harder in the races.
However, you go as fast as you feel comfortable with the protection you feel comfortable I think.
I rode TP in an open face lid as did everyone else, but I definitely wasn’t pushing on the downs like I do in SuperEnduro, no doubt many do, but there’s no practice on the likes of TP. You can practice in a lot of the European Enduro’s so when the flag drops its flat out..
I’m gonna try a few Gravity Enduro’s this year. I’ll take both I think and see how it pans out.
I was looking at the Nukeproof critical base the other day, since I’m old and don’t bounce like I used to, but I thought I’d get hot with the full sleeves..I was told the famous Mr Hill doesn’t wear elbow pads so why would I need them….answer, I ain’t Mr Hill 😆
