Just got the 3R for Christmas, with a view to using it in June at Tweed love enduro, where riding up hill minus the chin guard seems appealing and the event doesn’t demand a DH rated lid.
Wore it the other day at chicksands, and was impressed how light it feels.
I suspect its level of protection isn’t comparable to a true DH lid, but the chin guard must be able to take some abuse.
Some crashes with face plant are just unlucky, I still choose to wear an open lid for 99% of all riding I do. Suspect when I loose some teeth or similar I’ll have a rethink…
Does seem a quality item worth the money in terms of its build.
