I've got a Rockhard 3/4 with a flip shield; like it better than the fixed shield.👍

I wear a half shell most times but I wear a Bell 500 with bubble shield when it is cold out (30s/40s). I have the clear and the smoke shields. It works well for me at highway speeds, however, the shield moves just a bit because it snaps on (not bothersome to me). Air does get inside the helmet, so just make sure you have a mask or neck gaiter that you can pull up.

Because of all the texting drivers I have become more concerned with safety equipment. I really wasn't expecting to like the full face but have been pleasantly surprised. I may have a different feeling in the dead of summer but in colder weather the Arai has been great.

Wore a Roof Rover a few years back when I low sided. Head and left side of my face took a good shot but helmet held up real well.
