Will you care if anyone thinks your a ***** when that pickup truck in front of you kicks up a rock at 65mph that heads for your eye but instead bounces off your shield? It always fascinates me that people give a $#!& about what other people think when it comes to what they wear (or don't wear) for their personal safety and comfort. Wear (or don't wear) what you want.

I bought a full face about 4 years ago, just for cold weather riding. It's so comfortable that I wear it 95% of the time. Every time I hear a stone or big bug bounce off the face shield I'm quite happy that I have the face shield.
I don't like the look of a windshield on my bike. By wearing a full face I can take the windshield off the bike.
If someone wants to buy me the helmet THEY think I should wear, I might wear it.

Getting old, need glasses to drive, switching back to my FF Icon. Do I give a sheet what other people think about that? NO. I want to see what is going on around me, so I need glasses, and I already owned the FF for cold rides. Why did I not ALWAYS wear the FF instead of my beanie? Because it is hotter to wear than my beanie. Am I an ATGATT? Hell no, I ride to enjoy it, wearing ATGATT is not enjoyable to me. I want to be comfortable. The beanie is more comfortable, but not being able to see sucks, so I will either need to fork over the moolah for prescription RIDING glasses, or get contact (UGH), or for now just wear my glasses with a FF.
