I think I'll pass. It looks like it's been designed for the South East Asia market. I don't know how much protection you would get from that front face guard and all that plastic is going to make it as noisy as hell.
Fwiw before I had left school two lads from my year had already suffered serious lower facial damage from moped crashes. Full face helmets ("Astronaut helmets" we called them, due to their style & un-afford-ability) were rare amongst 16yo riders.

I’ve never ridden without a full face lid, it was a condition of my getting a Fizzy at 16 that I have a good helmet and gloves. This was due to my Dad falling off his bike at 18 (350 Ariel) and getting a fractured skull, as a result he lived under the shadow of epilepsy for the rest of his life, the other 4 lads brought into the hospital that weekend with the same injury from coming off bikes all died.
