Yup. Me too. Full face sometimes (it gets cold here). Sometimes a half. Sometimes none. I ride mostly in Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Connecticut and they are all small states with different helmet laws. In RI (my home state) only the passenger is required to wear a helmet. In (very) nearby CT, nobody needs one and in MA, both operator and passenger are required to wear one. With the states being so small, it's easy to ride in all three in a relatively short time and have to change up frequently.

Works better than anything else I've tried, which is is just about everything else short of an electrically heated visor (YMMV).

I wear a full face helmet every time I start that bike up. I've been alive for 35 years and, as it turns out, I'm allergic to pain.

I wear a Marushin carbon fiber full face helmet that I bought in the Netherlands. I love it. It's light, it's ECE certified which I suppose means it should protect my noggin.

I really like corn on the cob and steak so I wear a FF helmet. Not a big fan of soup or shakes, except chocolate shakes. lol

Back in the seventies I protested the connecticut helmet law like hell,even spent a day in jail for not wearing one,I felt then as I do now that it is let those who ride decide,,,,,that is why now I decide to where a modular full face,,,,great in the cold and rain...

Full face as long as I can. Safer, we have many idiots on the road here and a very high bodycount as a result. Also keeps the wind out of my ears. In summer, when it get really hot in the desert, I have no choice and wear a Caberg Breeze - open face and lots of vents.
