Guys N Girls,

I've been buying extra protection (Fnar Fnar),like my knee and shin pads and I've been thinking of getting a new Helmet.Now do i go for a normal XC lid or do I get one of these do it all lids, like the CASCO Viper.

Now the reason for me,looking at one of these babys is that with my sparklie new rig I'm getting,I'm hoping to do a few more jumps/drops...
Downside being is that I'll probably, err no infact I will be kissing trees alot more,so the more protection the better.

Whats your thoughts/impressions on these lids?

I'm a fan of "You can never have too much protection" but in thesummer you will simply boil !!!!!

I mean some of the harder jumps on the run into the bowl are big, but think this may be a bit of overkill!! Unless you got triple clampers and 6 inches of travel it may look a little too extreme in my opinion.
