Speaking with many riders over the years, loads of people thought that the old Giro Switchblade helmets with the small removable mouth-guards were a great idea.  Unfortunately, the guards were too small, a fellow had an accident and broke / embedded the guard into his face - causing massive lacerations... lawsuits ensued and the product was pulled off the market.

Not a single North American company has released a helmet with removable face-guard since.

Enter the Krauts!  As it turns out, Casco of Germany has been producing a helmet with removable face protection for many years.  Not only that, but their 'pseudo-full-face' helmet sports a far beefier face-guard than the old Giro models.

Contacted the company tonight for North American dealer info'...
