Default new helmet

Been looking for a new helmet for a while now and finally found one I like. Anybody here have the H-D H27 3/4 helmet? I'd appreciate some feedback if you've tried one or know someone who has.

I have the earlier version. After wearing open face and 1/2 helmets more and more I feel a little claustrophobic in the 3/4 now as the cheek pads block my vision.
The full screen does help in the rain though

Third post today I've been able to use this same generic reply to...

IMHO, if you like eating, smiling, pleasuring your lady or man etc I'd rethink your options...

^ that's kind of a wake up, 20%-25% of the time you might as well not be wearing a helmet at all if it's not a full face.

Closer to 50%. It's showing Left/Right sides.

To each their own for sure. I was shopping for 3/4 when I found the stats and ended up going full face as a result.
