Vega XTS half helmet when temps are above 60 or anytime I'm in a T-shirt and vest. When temps go lower and the leather jacket goes on, the Fulmer 3/4 goes on.

no helmet... for most of my riding life Florida required a helmet ..old Jeb changed that... The helmet was torture!!!!
I will get a helmet if I make an out of state trip someday... Some states are in the dark ages about freedom of choice it seems!

I went down once when I was 16 on an interstate off ramp when I unexpectedly found loose gravel on a tight turn at 55 mph. It was rare I wore a helmet at that time but I had one on. If you ever see a guy wearing a full face, even on a really hot day, It's probably me.

I can control how I ride, but road conditions, wildlife and cagers driving like fools are dangerous variables. No reason to donate gray matter to the DOT.

Full Face 100% of the time.

That includes - If I am going to get on my bike and roll it out of the garage, without starting it.
