I wear a half helmet with the zip in part that covers the ears pretty good. I make polar fleece lined leather scarfs and that's what I use on my face. It also works good around the neck and is great for rain.
i have a harley full face size large that i would sell cheap. it has a few nicks on it from riding in the tour pak. i bought a scorpion full face and like it better.
Thanks for all the replies. If you use the flip up or full face then you will still have to cover the neck,I would think. Does it stay warmenough inside the full face to not have to have on a mask or anything? I know these sound like stupid questions, but I have never had a full face helmet and I dont want to spend the money on something that is not going to work for me.
Winter will be here soon and I do not intend on freezing my face off again, any suggestions on which helmet to get? Either the full face, flip up, or open face w/shield. I would prefer the open face w/shield, but I am not sure if it will block the cold wind as much as one of the others. Any help from someone who has had experience with any of these in the cold would be great.
When I bought my bike, I bought a Fulmer Modus full face helmet. Even though it's a full face helmet, there is a latch just in front of my chin that allows me to flip the front part of the helmet up when I want to. It's not as easy to ride at hight speed with it flipped up unless you have a windshield on your bike but it's nice when you slow down to go through a town or whatever to flip it up and get some fresh air for a few minutes or if you need to communicate with someone without removing the entire helmet. It has vents in the face shield and on the top of the helmet that can be opened or closed but it still gets warm in there which is part of the reason I don't use it in warm weather. I also bought a mirrored shield for it (the shield also flips up like a standard full face helmet) so I don't have to wear sunglasses under it. And the shields are fairly easy to change out.
I bought this one for the rain and cold-weather riding. A little pricey but it fit my melon the best of any full-face helmet I tried.
FYI - the Fulmer helmet I posted about previously is very similar in style and appearance to this one. But, because it doesn't say HD on it, it costs significantly less. I think I paid about $150 for mine. If I'm not mistaken, the HD versions of that style helmet are fairly close to twice that much.
