I ride with a Neotech, having used a Caberg and LS2 modular before.
I really do not like riding with the chin bar up. I do not feel well protected.
I will open it when stopped at lights or in a car park in hot weather.
I always open it when stopping for fuel etc.
In Fox township a few years ago I was fuelling up and walked into the shop on the forecourt to pay. My chin bar was up. I whacked it into the door lintel and nearly took my head off, just walking. Hence my comments above. ( I am getting on for 2m tall so doorways are a daily risk for me, my scalp has a series of scars)
I do not like the sense of imbalance either. To me the Shark EVO design where the chinbar roates to the back of the helmet is the only one I would ride with the bar open. They do not fit my ugly head so its not ever going to be an issue.
