full face helmets
i am looking to get a good full face helmet for when I ride on the e-way. I have no windshield on my bike and with my half helmet on the highway at speeds over 70mph, it feels like my head wants to rip off due to the sh!tty areodynamics.

What are you guys \\;wearing? I am looking for something in black or carbon.

RE: full face helmets
The full face will still pull at those speeds, can't say how it's going to be different from a 1/2 helmet (I don't have one, but am looking....)

I'm using a '92 Shoei RF 200, my original helmet. Still fits great, visor's clear. Wind pulls it like it will any helmet.

RE: full face helmets
My other reasoning for getting one is for rocks and bugs at those speeds too. I took a very small rock to my cheek last night and it stung like hell!

RE: full face helmets
I have an HD fullface and when I ride w/o the windshield, I don't notice much pulling from the wind, the same with my 3/4. \\; I did get an HD 1/2 and it felt like my head was being ripped off my neck until I took of the silly little visor, and now there is no problem.

I use the HJC CL-Max which I absolutely love. \\; The face pivots up and it's great at traffic lights when you want to breathe for a couple seconds. \\; It's $150 but it's worth it to save your head :-D

I bought a THH 41 from Jafrum. \\; It's Snell and DOT and looks and fits great.

Like Chef said if you have a visor on your half, then take that thing off. \\; Of course it still won't help with the bugs!

RE: full face helmets
The Shoei RF1000 is awsome - low noise and doesn't move at all. \\; They have adjustable cheek pads so you can get the right fit. \\; Mine doesn't move around much \\;at all at 80mph. \\; Great vent system too.

RE: full face helmets
We (the wife and myself) use the Shoei RF-1000. Good venting, and seems pretty quiet compared to my older helmets.
Make sure you find a bike shop to try them on. Shoei and Arai fit totally different. Shop around I got mine for around $319.00 with an extra visor in dark gray.
