You've got a point. I should also put my knee and elbow protectors on too.
I guess really I need both. But my use was more riding to the trails then hitting a few trails then riding around a but. So I don't want to not rear a helmet for all the riding, nor do I want to wear a full face all the time.

I'd get (and have)a well ventilated lightweight carbon fullface.
With a convertible you won't be bothered to keep swapping out the chin bar. You'll tell yourself "it'll be fine" and that will be the trail you smash your face into a rock.
When it's very hot pedalling in the mountains with a full face, I ride up with it on my back and then put it on for the descent. Zero temptation to leave it attached to my bag. It's also light and well enough ventilated for me to leave it on for smaller linking climbs without it bothering me at all.
New Spesh Gambit looks perfect.
