First off the sport we love is about challenge/risk. My knees are destroyed at the tender age of 55. Because I stopped wearing hard shell knee pads.
Never wear a full face or helmet with chin bar. Because of vanity . Pride, stupidity.
I heard head trauma is a rather consistent injury in automobiles. A neck brace and helmet would be good idea. But my God I would feel like a dork.
We ride for fun. The protection is there for the un planned moment s.
Shame I let vanity and comfort trump safety.
Everyone I know that rides full face they don't wear it on the climb. But a light helmet with a chin bar. Why remove the bar in the first place ? Oh yes . Vanity. Or worse people are suggesting it's too much effort to carry.
