I don't understand why the chin guard needs to be removable. The selling point
to me is added protection without the heat and weight of my D2 that I can use
on pedally but aggressive trails. If there's a sustained climb where I want to
be cooler I usually just put my helmet on my pack. If there's not much
pedaling I use my D2 for the protection. I can't think of a situation where
I'd take the chinbar off in the middle of a ride, or at least not enough
situations that warrant the need for a removable chinbar given the added
complexity and weight that I'm assuming go into that feature. (I don't yet
have but want a Super 2R or Parachute type helmet - neither of those fit my
weird head).
