Thumbs up FF helmets

well say what you want about FF helmet but I wear one and after my ride saterday I'm sure glad I had it on. on my way home from local car show something jumped up off the road and struck me in the forehead so hard it snaped my head back. then about two miles down the road avery large bug found my face shield and just about blinded me bug. guts every where if not for that FF helmet not sure how that ride would have turned out

Yelllow Bug guts splattered all over the shield and helmet and jacket,

I had the Modular helmet on as we were testing out the Scala Rider Q2. Glad I did!!!

Half helmet takes care of the forehead, goggles/glasses takes care of the bug.

Man up.

I like the FF when it's really cold out. They hamper my periferal vision, though, so I prefer the half helmet most times
