I like full face on the interstates as well but I have trouble seeing the speedometer on my fatboy since its way down low. Plus the wind buffeting is really tough on me but you cant beat the protection it offers!

I looked at a lot of helmets recently, looking for an open face. Did not come across the one you posted, but some that were similar. The problem for me was the overall size. They were all pretty big overall. Found that to be a problem across the board -- even a lot of the half-helmets.
I'd get one of these if I were rich: http://www.glorysales.com/helmets-ru...-35_38_43.html
But since I'm not, I settled on one of these, silver: http://www.fulmerhelmets.com/Product/afv2.html

I have 2 HJC helmets. I've been reviewing helmets. Discovered Shoei and Arai are the only helmets (that I could find) where the shell is a different size based on the size of the helmet. In other words, HJC shells are all the same size. The guy at IRON PONY confirmed that. That's one of the reasons for the increased price. I recommend going to a bike dealer and trying a bunch on. Some helmets are MADE for round heads and others are MADE for oblong heads. Not all of us can "shell" out $300 bucks for a helmet. But if it ain't comfortable you won't wear it. Good luck.

Had a Nolan before these two and I had a bad case of space helmet (helmet looked way to big for my body) it was awful
I wonder if the Shoei žs have different shells also that would be a deciding factor the problem I have living in Iowa is no one stocks shoei or aria due to cost but maybe I will get luck!

I have been using these for about 2 years. I like my helmets cause they go with my bike and are not to nice that if the get dropped I won't have to buy another one.
helmets should go with your bike.
