FF helmets were an easy sell to parents, I told them it was cheap insurance for the 6K they spent on orthodontic work
Related to that, do any of you wear a mouth guard when riding with a half-lid? I got one made by the dentist after expensive orthodontic work. I wear it whenever i'm riding without a chin bar. But i haven't met anyone else who does.
As to the original question, FF only when shuttling/using a lift. I overheat too quickly, even in modern, well ventilated fullface helmets and the trails i ride are more mellow than those on the shore.
On my dentist's recommendation, I got one at sports check a few years ago to wear in the bike park. It's reasonably comfy, I think it was $50, drop in boiling water for 2 minutes, let cool a bit and pop it in your mouth (while hot) to mold it. It was reasonably comfy, never got around to wearing it for trail riding though.
