They don't in my experience. I have a full-face and a half helmet, and they seem the same to me whether I'm on my Sporty or my Heritage.

I have a Nolan full face which I really like and a half helmet which I don't hardly ever use. Depends on weather, I split about 50/50 between the Nolan and no helmet/goggles.

I have a full face for winter, and a couple of halfs for warmer weather. But, I don't always wear one.

Night Train with no windshield. I wear a half most times. On long trips, or cold weather I wear a modular/flip face.
