I have two HD Carbon fiber-Kevlar ones. . . . I wear the half-helmet most of the time above 45 degrees and when I'm not on the highway for a length of time. The full face the rest of the time.

Very happy with them, light and comfortable, ventilate well. Yeah, a little mushroomey but not as bad as many another. They were too expensive, but I had the money.

None.

I have a fulle face for freezing, but I usually forgret it anyway. I have had two people buy me helmets because I don't wear one.

One is a 3/4 helmet and the other is a low profile cap thing. Both are heavy and catch way to much wind to make riding enjoyable for me. But that's just me.

I will say the cap one is the least annoying as far as affecting what I hear and see on the road. The full face is by far the most wind friendly, but it affects my hearing and visions abilities.

Yeah, that's how they all are.

When I was riding bikes before my hiatus I rode mostly without. This time I have someone who made me promise to wear one to protect my head. "I like your head," she said. I think that's what she meant. . . .

If the windshield is on, a Shoei St Cruz DOT half helmet w/leather ear cover on. If it's cold or if highway/freeway riding w/o the windshield, a Bell Apex full face helmet.

Both are flat black to match the Denim Black bike for Poser points...

I have a Simpson half helmet, which is worn almost all the time. Unless it is really cold, i.e. 20's, I have an HJC fullface, from the time of the metric.

Arai Quantum/II full-face helmet (White). It's comfortable, no problems with vision or hearing, keeps a plethora of road debris and bugs from smacking my face, has an EPS lining in case of a crash and the white color is really visible when moving through traffic. I've had friends riding behind me say that they could always spot me with that white helmet in traffic.
