But flying with it as well as another helmet is a PITA, and that's when having a bit more flexibility might come in handy.
I tend to bite the bullet and box the FF in the bike bag these days and take the trail lid as hand luggage.

The Airoh SE 101 war looks quite smart also, no price as yet though

And to the guy up to looking for something like this for the odd bit of DH/skills stuff get a cheap FF rather than replaces your XC lid then you have 2 lids easily.

Dunno if you mean my comment, but I already own a cheap full face helmet. Which is fine if I'm off for some uplift fun or something. But flying with it as well as another helmet is a PITA, and that's when having a bit more flexibility might come in handy.

cookeaa, I own an Archi-Enduro, too be fair I've not done many full day rides in it this summer, but it is fine for 2-3hour rides. I tend to grab it when I head for rockier terrain when I know I want to push on with my riding, have been using it for BMX all summer as well. When I have escaped for the day I tend to grab the Xar, but the riding on these days tends to be relaxed.

I've started putting both lids in the car so I can make a decision at the trail head, probably won't ride with a lid in my backpack as the Archi-Enduro seems to be a capable lid. Notnoticed any overheating issues yet, however when the weather cools I suspect it'll be my go to lid.

Will probably buy a more sturdy full face for BMX in the sales post Christmas, kicking myself for not getting one in CRCs last 20% off offer...

Learning to fall off 'properly' is a useful skill that all new riders should develop. Stuff like don't put out your arms, learn to tuck and roll, push the bike away, etc, etc.
It's all good until the big one....

and
meeting the enduro race rules that say you have to wear a full face for timed stages and must also wear helmet on transitions.
Is the main point, if you're happy with an open face lid but the rules say you can't then getting the lightest approved one is what you want.

And to the guy up to looking for something like this for the odd bit of DH/skills stuff get a cheap FF rather than replaces your XC lid then you have 2 lids easily. (otherwise you buy one lid to end up in the middle ground)

Depends how fast you ride.
This is what I did when I started mtbing. Managed to tuck and roll out of most my crashes. I'm riding harder and faster now, having improved my skills on the bike and what I've noticed is that I have no time to react at higher speeds. In a crash at higher speeds I just get flung off the bike and splat all over the trail. Had 2 very light face plants recently with my trail helmet on. So seeing more of these helmets on the market is a plus.

The Met Parachute chin piece looks a lot more sturdy than the Bell.
