Types of helmets you wear?

What types of helmets do you wear? Do you change them with Seasons? Why you like them.

RE: Types of helmets you wear?

When it is really cold or on long trips I wear an Arai rx7rr4 full face, but jsut around town and when it's not too cold, I jsut wear a half helemt. I want to get an acc carbon fiber one, but just have not done it yet.

3/4 with a face shield. The face shield is a MUST with bugs. I don't know how guys ride naked bikes with skid lids and goggles. In the winter put on my $8 face mask.

Bell Shorty w/ Removable Ear/Neck Curtain. Use goggles to cover Rx spectacles. For cold weather, add balaclava.

Ditto what OneBlackFly said, never use the neck curtain though.

RE: Types of helmets you wear?

Let me qualify my answer to your question about 'which helmet.' As mentioned by Ben U, I only wear the ear/neck curtain when the weather is 'cool' (I live in Michigan). Otherwise, my ears get cold. For 'warm' weather, go plain (no curtain). When I say 'cold' weather, I mean 20 and 30 deg F days!

RE: Types of helmets you wear?

DOT ACC 1/2 helmet always. If it's cold/raining, I use a neoprene face mask, or waterproof/windproof balaclava.

Cheers!
