Default Pop Up Full Helmets

Anyone here try one of those pop up full helmets where you can lift the chin and front part of the helmet while wearing it?

I like the protection of a full face helmet when touring long distances and think these new helmets might be worth trying.

I've thought about them but there's two issues that bug me:

- The added wind noise from the seams between helmet and the face plate, seal or not. As they age and get used more and more I wonder if they start breaking down or getting gaps in them?

- How well is that face plate attached? Is it going to come off, or flip up, easy in a crash?
