What is your main head gear?
 
Basically what do you wear the majority of the time?

First vote in. I wear a 1/2 and have a full face I never wear sitting in my garage.

Those retro open face helmets are starting to grow on me though.

I said half helmet, but I wear a small skid-lid

I started off wearing a full face, but after seeing the promo video for the Iron, and realizing those 3/4 helmets didn't look as bad as I thought I bought one and wear it all the time.

I generally wear a 1/2 unless it's cold or I'm on a trip where I need to use my cb. In that case I switch to my modular ff which has speakers installed.

My wife only wears a full face and she gets on me sometimes for wearing a 1/2. I know they're safer but they take so much away from the riding experience.

I miss the wind in my face and full 360 field of view. Plus, at least in my case, my full face is noiser than my 1/2. I get alot of reverb up under it.

On my 3/4 I use a face shield, but the helmet is not visible to me at all. I just get to many bugs hitting my face shield to go without it.

1/2 here also. My full face is too claustrophobic.

1/2 here when in a helmet state. When not a baseball cap turned around or a doo rag. It doesn't take much to sunburn my scalp anymore....

3/4 helmet full face shield when i waer one...

I wear a 3/4 with full-face shield all the time. I just bought an Arai full-face helmet for colder weather riding but can't stand wearing it for more than 20-30 minutes at a time.
