I love my Boxer - best helmet I have owned, and I think the Desmo will be better yet. I really like the option of 3/4 or full face in one lid. I've had Shoei Multitec and Schuberth C3 flips, but neither were practical to ride open faced.
Best 3/4 helmet I've had is a Shoei RJ Platinum R. Quiet, comfortable and airy - but a bit bobblehead!

The guy was asking for a 5 button snap shield, not a lecture from you on why he should wear a full face.
Everyone likes something a little different. Personally I wouldnt want somethingthat can be snapped on or off. I much prefer a full face helmet. Below is alink with a study that was conducted in Germany a while back showing the areaswhere head injuries occur most often. There were hundreds of inputs into thisstudy and I dont feel like the data represented is to farfetched. According tothis photo in the middle of the page shows that over 55% of head injuries occurwhere a 1/2 or 3/4 helmets would not provide coverage.

Take it or leave it, and to each their own. We have enough to worry aboutwhile riding, I dont want to have to worry about my head while Im riding.

skull cap, 3/4 or full?
I don't plan on going down but neither did they & I want to be around when my grand children grow up. Wear what you want but I thought this site was so we could give each other our opinions on subjects
After having a Roof Boxer for a couple of years I just bought a new Roof Desmo.
Those helmets are both full face and 3/4. Love them!
