I have a FF, 1/2, and a 3/4 fulmer V2, used to wear the FF all the time, then I switched to a half helmet, now I wear the fulmer all the time will probably never go back to half. The V2 is way quieter than the 1/2 and still get the wind in the face.
3/4 Bell 500 Custom. Comfy, cool and lightweight.. I cant stand a FF helmet although I use one in sub freezing temps where frostbite is possible. I have a Scorpion EX0-100 half helmet but its heavy and noisy its pretty much a door stop. The 3/4 is the perfect medium. I had a modular but I want my face in the wind when i'm running down the road.
I have an HJC FF with quick-disconnect for the face shield. However, it sucks carrying 2 shields (one clear, one tinted) - I can't fit sunglasses on my head with the FF. So, 95% of the time, I wear a flat-black German novelty helmet. Planning to get a biltwell bonanza open-face, and maybe buy the bubble shield also. Not sure about the shield yet.
I wear a FF HJC CL-16, flat black, with a black visor(keep the clear visor in the saddlebags). People find it weird that I'll ride in short sleeve workshirt, jeans and work boots, but wear a FF helmet. I tell them my face is still too pretty to get tore up.
I bought a $50 half helmet, just for running up the street for lunch. I don't like it without having a windshield, even at only 30mph. I've also worn my G-force racing 3/4 stock car racing helmet before. It was the 1 I used 6 yrs ago when I had my first bike, and I liked it. Kept my head warm, and was snug.
