I am not sure if it is a side effect of getting older but I want to move from half lids to one of the new light full face helmets.
I am not fast (some people will say I am still in the newbie territory, red trails are doable but a challenge), I don't race and I don't do bike parks. A half lid looks better but I am not happy with the level of protection and I don't care what people think or say so...

Price wise, I have found both of them for almost the same price, around £200.

- The Poc one looks a bit better imo
- I have always used Poc (I have 3 Poc half lids)
- Poc helmet has Recco and NFC for medical details

- Fox model is newer, with the latest Mips
- Fox model looks better ventilated
- Fox have magnetic strap closure and boa adjustment

Recently looked at FF helmets including the two above and finally bought a Dainese Linea 01. Very light (570grams) with MIPS and Fidlock, don't even know I have it on. Got white so my brains won't be boiled in summer.

Will take a look at that one, thanks!
