I’m a long time NSMB lurker, but just signed up to this website to post about the super DH because I feel strongly that for the riding around sea to sky, full face helmets make so much sense. We all must know people who have had terrible outcomes from bike crashes. I live in Squamish and for me and everyone in my house, full face helmets are required for all rides.
I wear a thin elastic belt around my waist. The chin bar of the super DH clips on easily, hanging off my left hip until I get to the trailhead. This is true for little tips and 1400m climbs. Doesn’t bother me at all and I can skip the dreaded pack. The Super air R chin does not clip on so easily because it’s not a full circle. For this reason alone the super DH wins. It’s easier to use without a pack.
