Helmets
What type of helmets do you ride with in the winter? in the summer?
I usually ride with a half helmet, but it was about 40 degrees out last night on my ride so I wore a 3/4 helmet. I hated every second of that helmet. The air would creep under the helmet and FREEZE my face. I am going to start looking for a full helmet (something I never thought I would use with a Harley) and am curious what everyone else uses. Any suggestions on full helmets?

I have a Fulmermodular helmet. I love it. I am glad to have it in the winter time. Last year I was riding when it was 10 degrees out, and it kept my head and face warm and comfortable. It is a great helmet. I prefer the modular helmet over the regular full face helmets.

half helmet, with a beanie underneath to cover my ears, then a pair of overglasses googles (i wear this all the time, no matter conditions) then if its cold a half face mask that covers everything under the goggles and breathes well, but keeps me warm. its nice. probably looks a little strange though.
if put on right there are no open spots and my whole head stays warm.

RE: Helmets
Yup I wear a fullface year round...They arent as hot as people make them out to be..ESPECIALLY if you are moving....
if the vents arent enough..find a fullface that has a ratchet type locking system for the visor..and ride with it just barely cracked.....beware sand and grit will get in that way...!!!

RE: Helmets
Just rode to lunch in mid 40's weather with my 3/4. I have a ride planned for tomorrow morning and the temp is going to be in the low 40's. Think I'll switch to the modular so I can pull the face shield down when my nose goes numb...
