None is required here in Wisc. but I wear one most of the time. 3/4 helmet except when it's less than 40 degrees, then a full face Bell.

None in Minnesota either. I wear a full face 90% of the time and 3/4 the other 10%. I do like my face so I wear the full face.

Wear a full face in the cold weather 65 and below, Half helmet the rest of the time. Arizona has no helmet laws, but I have a lot to lose so I wear it!

No helmet law here, I wear a 1/2 in t he summer, and modular flip up when it's cold. Sometimes when I'm out in the middle of nowhere, I'll pull the helmet and just let the ears flop in the wind. Mostly outside of any traffic though....

Bought a helmet from www.carbonfiberhelmets.com/dothelmets.htm for the wife and sent it back. They have top notch customer service and gave me no hassle with my return. They are very accurate in stating that their DOT Helmet is the smallest 1/2 on the market. I sent the helmet back becaust the liner was really uncomfortable. I have heard from others on this site that said the company has worked with them to help remold the helmets to fit the individual. Had I not been in such a hurry to get a new helmet for the old lady I probably could have worked with them to get a proper fittament. Instead she got at HCI Polo carbon helmet and really likes it. I would recommend www.carbonfiberhelmets.com to anyone because of their awesome customer service and return policy there is really minimal risk when ordering.

Hate a helmet. I only wear a $28 ebay half helmet when I ride to work once or twice a month. Only wear it then because I work on an Air Force base and it is required. Other than that - never.

I don't wear a helmet in no helmet states in the summer but in cool weather, I like my modular Vega helmet. I also have a 1/2 and a 3/4 depending on conditions.
