I don't wear atgatt and will wear open faced lids this is a risk I take but think a lid that's not tested is a bad idea as could crack when it hits the floor

I brought all my riding gear to Malta even my mesh jacket....never worn any of it just too hot in the summer. Just wear my beleno rain jacket and jeans in the winter time,, Jan Feb March,the rest of the time shorts and tee shirt with trainers,,
I know it's stupid but in the height of the summer the heat can distract you into making mistakes,, a bit like falling asleep in front of the warm fire on a winters night back in the UK, only with sweat running down your back. Nothing worse than sticky butt and a fried nuts to make you make a mistake.

I knew my knotted hankies would come back into fashion.
Any chance of getting hold of some sleeveless jumpers and we can dress like a Monty Python sketch

Quick update

Lid never arrived. Seller contacted via eBay.
Seller contacted eBay and their decision a full refund.

My belief monkey seller no goods exist & eBay as usual to gutless.

The hunt continues

Wear what ever you/I want & ride accordingly, me, I would sooner ride without a 'crash hat' than without gloves

I have to agree with that Bern. Your head may or may not make contact in an off. Your hands always do.
