I wouldn't risk it with lift assisted riding or local descent bombing, even
with Giro. As I said, I did hurt my face in a rather stiff D2 a few times.
When I lived in mountains, I used to put the fullface on my backpack for a
fire road climb, when I knew I'm going to ride down some track as fast as I
can. I'd do the same today if I was to go on a proper Enduro comp. I'd take my
roadie lid and a legit FF. Not only you try to ride as fast as you can on
tracks you barely remember, you are also more and more tired through the day.
Your whole body gets stiffer and more fatigued, your heart rate goes up
easily, your error margin gets smaller and smaller.
