It might not be a pretty chin, but it's the only one I got.

Wear my full face when I wear a helmet year round. Cool graphics, mirrored dark tinted face shield for sun visor. Hearing protection built in. When you turn the helmet to look at things no one knows exactly what you are looking at.

hi all i ride in the uk also and use both open and full face, although i do like a open face helmet its not realy safe and if its about being safe then you need a full face you hit the tar mac with a open face helmet on and it gets a little painfull

Like others said, I wear a 1/2, but have a full face for when it is raining or when it is cold. It is a pretty nice Shoei helmet, but it is just too hot here in TX to wear it all the time.

And how many miles I will be doing on the onterstate. FF is better for me for long rides at high speeds.

With the worst luck in the world with bugs or what not finding their way into my eyes, I wear ff when I have the fairing or shield off of my RK. When either the fairing/shield or full shield are on, I wear half. I much prefer the half. It's obviously not as safe, but it's so much more free feeling.

Full Face all of the time, when it get hot I raise the sheild for more air. Glad I had it on for my low speed crash about a month ago, helmet had the mark on the side of the face and chin instead of me. Should have had on some knee protection, probably will have when I start back riding.

its neither yeah or nay...Its like everything else in life, whatever floats your boat. When its flippn cold a full could make the diff in riding or not. Same with a half. I, for instance can only ride with a half in full summer out here. My 3/4 likely during the cooler climate.
