I've been looking for a good fullface helmet that is also light and well ventilated. Is there such a thing?
With the increasing number of 6" trailbikes and 8" freeride bikes, it seems helmets aren't keeping up. You can get a heavy DH helmet with no ventilation or a XC lid that's light and well ventilated, but hardly any protection.
I need something in between. I want a helmet that breathes enough to wear on grinding 4 mile climbs that will also offer great protection when bombing down very technical runs (like Mr. Toad's Wild Ride in Tahoe). I want a fullface helmet that's light and well ventilated but gives more protection than the typical XC helmet. The Pro-Tec Ace Fullface seems the closest to what I want so far, but it still doesn't have enough ventilation. Is there anything else out there?
