This could be great if you are
A . Planning on scarying the PTA moms at the monthly meeting
B. Planning on being a serial killer with a weird enough thing that hollywood makes a series of B movies about your adventures..
the diamond plate doesn't touch your skin. It has leather fittings that fit the face. It's actually warm and comfortable. I guess I don't plan on sliding on my face or wrecking like others do....maybe I'm wrong for that. sometimes I wear a helmet, sometimes I don't. I will let you know how it feels when it warms up and I get to test it.
Forget the style (or lack thereof) aspect of it... What the heck happens if you fall off your bike and do a face plant?? Maybe the mask protects your face, or maybe it catches on something in the road and slices your face all to hell. No thanks.
