Have never liked wearing a helmet and ususally dont but I am giving in to my intuition.
I just bought a new Shoei quest, but now I'm considering adding the Noetec to the line up. So how do you like it, is it worth the extra $$$$?

Most of my riding buddies wear FF, we always wear FF and many club members in NorCal wear FF helmets.

In fact around here, the beanie looks downright ridiculous nowadays.

Only have had 1/2's so far. GF is starting to ride now, got her a bike and we're getting a set of Scala to communicate (she IS NOT looking forward to thatpart), and a pair of modular full face helmets. Looking forward to having all the features of the bluetooth plus the added weather protection.

I prefer no helmet, but comfort has its place. I wear a full face helmet when it's cold.

I only started wearing my modular FF a few years ago and now I understand why so many more people are going to them.

Usually wear my half around but if I'm going on an expressway or traveling a good distance at highway speeds, I wear my FF. I'm too stubborn to put a windshield on my bike so I'll be in my FF for the 5 hour ride down to Daytona. Once I'm there I'll switch.

For my wife, I bought her the most probably overpriced name brand protective FF I could find and want her to wear it everyday.

As long as it's light and has the most recent SNELL approval, you did a good thing.

Yes sir. It's a Shoei that we bought in Japan when the yen rate was absolutely terrible. Damn thing came out to almost $500 American but I wasn't going to wait on shipping for a helmet she couldn't try on first whe. She was riding in such a crazy traffic area.

I have one but I rather have my 1/2 helmet for visibility mainly. Also got a helmet lock on the bars the one HD sells and my 1/2 helmet fits between the windshield and bars nicely.
