The Vanguard helmet sets a new standard for full-face mountain bike helmets. In addition to the high safety and good ergonomics that all these helmets must meet, it also offers two other things that are already only dreamt of in many models.
The extremely low weight (725g in size M) and the highly effective ventilation you are used to from road bike helmets. No more taking off your helmet to relieve the heat and heavy weight!
If you're expecting some sort of compromise or usage limit, you're mistaken. Thanks to numerous tests, Vanguard is fully certified for even the most demanding use. So it is Downhill ready and that's saying something.
