I wear a half helmet year-round. When it's cold, I wear a face mask and headband with the half helmet.

I try to get out at least once a month, in the winter, here in PA. 3/4 helmet with shield, neoprene face cover ( neck to nose )and a headband to tighten up the seal on my helmet gets me down to the freezing mark. Below 32, no bikin.

Full face HJC modular for me. I have a pretty good sized melon and it was the only brand that was comfortable.

HJC full face with a Turtle Fur pullover. I was using the Turtle Fur with a H-D Ultra Jet 3/4 with flip shield and it wasn't bad, but with the full helmet I'm toasty.

I wear a 3/4 with a shield and a $3 tube type fleece balaclava from Academy sports. I find that if I pull the fleece up over my chin I'm good down into the 30's and my chin doesn't freeze. The little bit of my face thats exposed below my glasses doesn't get cold...unless I raise the shield..

Yes, it has the flip up chin. I like it as well as any full face helmet, I just like the 3/4 or 1/2 half better. In the winter it is the warmest I've found and the flip up front lets me put my glasses on/off.
