That's what I wear for the road, and I love it. But I really have to get a half helmet for when I'm riding on base, too slow for those vents to work

A Schuberth C3, most comfortable helmet I've ever had, about the quietest system helmet too. Very good ventilation and love the build in sun visor.

Also got a local brand 3/4 but that one is heavy and a SHOEI Multitec

Bottom line is if you dont wear a good full face DOT helmet you might as well just wear a 1/2 nov helmet. I wear a nov helmet. I think any 1/2 helmet will just roll off your head and break your neck if you hit the ground, so why wear a dick head. IMO. I spent $250 on an HD hybrid helmet. Hell it just blew up off my head. Sucked. DOT 1/2 helmets suck!

I like the Rockhard 3/4 helmet!! Very comfortable, and I actually feel safer with it on! Takes some getting uesd to because you hear alot less but well worth it IMO !

I have a H-D (***** G Skull on both sides) 1/2 and besides the way it looks... not a big fan. Main reason is that the wind rips right through the ear leather and deflects into my ear drums! Very loud! I have to wear a bandana over my ears or no helmet at all; and I don't advise the latter.

My next helmet will be 3/4 and I will airbrush something cool on it; as more space! :]
