#!markdown Depends on where you live/ride for sure. These types of helmets are very popular where I live. Riders want to be wearing a helmet for climbing and transitional riding but like the extra protection afforded for technical and steep descents. Multiple laps are possible (pedalling) on all the local mountains so the chin bars are off an on a few times a ride. I don't wear one myself, but I notice more and more (generally Bells) on the trail.
