I use a Licks Cycle 3/4 helmet, light weight and comfy. I bought a large but ended up getting a medium.

Only thing you can do with a half helmet is to get you a neoprene face cover and a stocking cap to stay warm.

Biltwell 3/4 helmet and a bubble shield for now. When it gets face-numbingly cold I wrap one of these scarves around my mouth/nose and it does the trick. Easier to put on and off than masks/sleeves/neoprone stuff, and since its bigger, I can shift the wet spot from breathing into it.

I love the goggles. they are the halcyon compacts

http://classicpartsltd.com/classic-m...n-goggles.html

not cheap, but the real deal, and very well made

as for my bandanna/face shield, i recently discovered icon 1000.
its 100% cotton outside, and a microfiber fleece on the inside. it snaps, so no need to tie it.
