Guys,

Are full face/MX helmets frowned upon in the MTB XC world?

Basically i'm racing the Beastway tonight but only have a MX helmet to wear, a friend should be bring a spare MTB helmet but just incase... how hated will i be if i wear the MX lid?

Think you be more hated when you start to lap others.
Should be a thread on BR

Edit: Looking at video again think you will out of place ;)
They Redbridge hire bikes give then a call see if you could hire a lid.

Obvious reason not to wear a full face in a XC race is that your head will overheat and explode..maybe :)
