That was my first thought too....

Wear what's comfortable or don't wear at all. Your choice. For the record I don't even own a FF.

 

If you wear half helmet and have an accident you will end up a retard or worse - dead -
go buy yourself a Schuberth one of the top brands - even buy a top brand open face but forget half helmets as they are just shitpots

 

Nobody wants to feel like they look silly in a helmet, but you got to wear what suits yah. I have all possible configuration of helmet from the pinnacle top of the line DOT/Snell full face race helmet to the all but worthless non-DOT beanie. For me the 3/4 open face is the best, but thats just me. Helmets, even decent ones really aren't all that much money now a days. Pick what you like and stick with it.

 

If you want to look good, don't wear any helmet. Of course if you are ugly like the rest of us, then all bets are off and you are on your own.

You just have to get used to how you look in a helmet or quit looking in the mirrors. Those mirrors are for seeing what is behind you not for admiring your profile.

I notice there are the usual few dipshitz that have to insert their perceived knowledge of safety when it is not asked for, or appreciated.

 

Not wearing a helmet is not an option in my province, unfortunately. I'm gonna give the half a try, at least a few rides to see if I like it. The idea of having fresh air on my face is definitely appealing.

Gonna have to pick up a decent pair of sunglasses. My military issue ballistics are odd looking things, though probably the most appropriate things to wear.

 

I wear Full Face, 3/4 and Half. Just depends how far and how fast I intend to ride.


Arai Quantum FF
Shoei J Wing 3/4
Shoei Santa Cruz 1/2

All of these helmets have spare parts readily avaible.

 

Here , this helmet will look just as good on you as it does on anyone else , so you won't have to worry about how you look . Plus it should satisfy all the "full face" safety gang .

 

Try your half helmet. Get your face in the breeze.
Sorry, I'm one of those that have the opinion, if you ride a harley you go minimum. If you are going to race around on a sport bike, full protection and armor.

****, years ago, anyone who rode a harley wore a cotton or wool riding cap. Full faced helmets are for pussies. Sorry I may have gone too far there .. didn't mean to offen anybody.

 

Well I have a half helmet and a full face. I've been wearing FF helmets since the first time my Dad put me on a bike at age 12. It's what I feel most comfortable wearing.
My half is a recent purchase and I do admit that I love wearing it.

I don't feel or look like a ***** when I wear either one. My head, my choice. Wear what suits YOU........

 

I started with a full face that I still use in the spring and fall when the temps drop.

Then I picked up a cheap half helmet, and hated it. I did prefer the feeling on the ride over the full face. So, I decided to spend a bit more and picked up a Bell Drifter. I didn't mind the looks, but hated how it tried to pull my head off on the highway.

Last week my Bell 500 3/4 arrived, and so far it's the best of the bunch. It's comfortable, looks good in my opinion, and best of all doesn't catch the wind.
