Not flaming anyone, but why would you wear a full face helmet? I personally wouldnt because I like the wind in my face and the smells of spring, the freshness after a rain. I wear a half helmet and sunglass! I wear a bandana if its cold. In Canada the only ones that usually wear full face ride crotch rockets. What do you wear and why?

Full face helmet, Half helmet,85% of the rider I Know won't wear a helmet. So glad I live in ILLINOIS, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, No helmet law here.

I consider a full face my regular helmet. Here, when the summers become very hot I will compromise and wear a 1/2 Shoei. However, I feel morereassured with my full face.

So I bought one also and can attest to the fact that they really work. And they work best with the face shield closed so to the air gets to the vents. And you don't get the blast of hot air on your face.
Of course you must open the shield while stopped, but once moving you can actually feel a cooling breeze across the top of your head.

triple digit speedometer readings tend to hurt the ear drums in cooler temps and makes eyes water beyond usefulness andreduces wind fatigue while traveling at said triple digit speedometer readings, THUS wear the "Arai Corsair RX7" helmet (sportbike style)

Think about this...If Ben Rothlisberger had been wearing a full face helmet he would have had NO INJURIES in his wreck. All of his injuries were broken teeth, broken jaw, crushed facial bones etc.

I didn't for years but was going on a 7,000 trip a few years ago and expected all sorts of weather so thought I'd use a full face. After that trip I now find I'm much more comfortable in the full face (especailly with my contacts). I was leaving on a weekend ride a few weeks ago and thought I'd use the 3/4 helmet. Headed out and went about 5 miles, turned around and went back to the house and got the full face. I'm not saying they are for everyone but they work for me.

Two reasons for me....cold and rain. But I prefer the 1/2 helmet when it's warm and dry.

Does wearing a a full face make a person less of a biker/enthusist?

I wear a half head, but my wife wears a full face. She is nervous that if we get hit from behind her face will smash into my lid, so she went with the extra protection.
