Fullface convertable helmet
Im thinking about getting a ffh after a gnarly endo last week. I seem to remember theyre being a helmet that could convert b/w fullface and norml style helmet? Anyone remember who makes this and model name?

Yeah, there's either the Giro Switchblade or the MET Parachute. I don't recommend the MET, as it works good as a half face but it's difficult to install the chinguard and once you have done so, it won't protect you at all as it's weak. I can't really comment on the Switchblade as I've never used it, but I'd just go for a proper fullface if you're looking for good protection.
