Mountain Bike Helmet Camo
Should I get a full face helmet for mountain biking?
Got my first mountain bike, its a freeride/downhill. I have NO money or health insurance so I cannot afford to be off work due to injury but I dont want to look like im trying to be something im obviously not.(Kinda like the guys who buy Camo at the surplus store and pretend to be ex navy seals at the bar)
Will I look like a complete jackass if I get a full face helmet? I live in the south east and my area of the state is mostly flat other than the MTB park right next to me which has some pretty decent climbs/downhill.
Is a motorcross helmet the same thing as a MTB full face helmet? I understand its going to be hot but we are coming into fall so I dont forsee that as a huge issue. I just want the best protection while I learn what im doing.

These were the 2 I was looking at.
I would say as long as you have a helmet, a full-face is not required unless you are doing serious downhill racing.
I have a standard helmet, and I wear sunglasses to make sure I don’t get any branches, mud or bugs in my eyes, been riding for 20-odd years and never had a problem.
