I ride with a guy - whose nickname, as an aside, is actually 'the smoother operator' - who always uses a mouthguard with an open shell. I did years ago.
We have two very different experiences. It drove me insane trying to breathe but he's unbothered by it. No doubt it's a great piece of safety gear that takes up zero space in a pocket or pack. It does cut down on the banter when installed (may be a pro or a con).
A few folks have suggested they are much much better now than when I was using one so I've been considering giving it a shot as well.
If you chomp on it let me know how it goes for you!
