I wear a full-face MIPS cycling helmet by Bell [0], it's a mountain biking helmet. And I agree, the lack of face/chin protection is absurd in bicycle helmets.

I wear a full-face MIPS cycling helmet by Bell [0], it's a mountain biking helmet. And I agree, the lack of face/chin protection is absurd in bicycle helmets. I know personally of two folks who injured their jaw or teeth in bicycle crashes wearing minimal helmets. I'm not even a particularly social person with lots of friends let alone ones who ride. One needed an implant to replace a cracked tooth that had barely touched the pavement in a crash that also tore his chin up enough to need stitches. The other broke his jaw and was eating cheeseburgers through a straw for months while it was wired shut. Both bad outcomes would have been trivially prevented by a full-face helmet. I haven't found a down side to riding w/full-face, the modern ones are light enough and it's sufficiently ventilated to not be a heat issue.
