I've never had a windshield or a FF. I like the feel of the wind on my face. Only problem I've had so far is June bugs. Them suckers hurt

 

I have a half and wore it once. I've never put on a FF but it seems like it'd be too closed up and hot. So, I wear a 3/4 with a face shield and ear plugs. No bugs and it's quiet. And the wind is a part of bikes. Without it, I might as well be in a cage.

 

I ride an ultra and if I ride with one it's a 1/2 to hot for ff.

 

Wear earplugs, that'll cut down the wind noise.

Other than that, I ride as much as I can year round without a windshield. *shrug*

You think bugs hurt, get caught behind a dump truck or in a heavy rain. The bugs aren't so bad then. haha

 

Have had lot's of bike but never owned a windshield. Alway's wear a half except in winter.i do use ear plugs on longer rides though. Think it just takes some getting used to.

 

I moved up from a 1/2 to a 3/4 to a full face helmet. Love the full face helmet, so nice and quiet. That is important on those long rides.

 

Some people shouldn't own a motorcycle. They should get in their car, roll the windows up, lock the doors, fasten their seat belt and be normal...

 

I started with a full and no windshield but switched to the half with a windsheild plenty of wind and can still hear what's going on around me.

 

No helmet..no windshield..tried 3/4 helmet..felt like a fishbowl. Couldn't pay me enough to put a windshield on my Bob. only problem is between the wind noise...guitar playing...and years of rock concerts..the hearing is slowly going!

 

I've been looking at something like this to give you kind of the best of both worlds. You get the wind of a 3/4 with protection for your face.
