Shoei RF1200 Full Face probably 90% of the time. Occasionally HJC 3/4. Having spent some time in an ICU and only here to talk about it because I was wearing a Full Face helmet . . . count me in as a believer!
When I'm out cruising about on my RGS I wear 1 of these
Small lightweight DOT helmet that I can stash in my saddle bag. If I was heading out on a road trip or something different story but around town and such this gets it done 4 me
Have never liked helmets much, and because of where I usually ride, I don't have to have one. That being said I tried quite a few different ones for the times I had to wear one.
After getting the Limited and the TriGlide for the wife, I started looking at helmets because I wanted to be able to mount a CB mic. I have an HD 3/4 that I was never happy with, and a couple of halfs that didn't do it for me. Then I found one from Outlaw helmets. It is comfortable enough and convenient enough that I have come to wear it all the time, and it is DOT approved for those times I have to have it. I have a visor that snaps on where the sun visor goes, so it is even good in colder weather and when it rains. It doesn't provide the protection of some helmets, but is a nice compromise for me.
I didn't have that experience at all behind my road glide fairing. That being said, as cool as they look and feel, I gave it up for a full face; Shoei Neotec. I value my face!
I have two Shoei helmets one short i don't think they make any more and a Neotech. i wear the Neotec most of the time, especially when its cold or the weather has the possibility of being wet. hate getting pelted in the face by rain.
Shark has an interesting concept. its a modular you can wear down or rotate the chin bar up all the way to the back and ride like a 3/4 helmet.
value your noggin.... get a good brain bucket.
I had a half helmet years ago, it did lift some at high speed, but was cooler in the Summer.
Now I have a 3/4 open face with an internal sun visor, that is about 6 years old. So I am
looking at new helmets at RevZilla on their videos. I am looking at prices from $100.oo to
around $450.oo, but there are some carbon helmets that cost more. A lot of cool helmets
out there now.

i don't think you can go wrong with Revzilla. I've purchased a couple of helmets and a couple of textile jackets and pants. love those guys. quick to answer any question. videos really help.

Got mine there....one real benefit, at least for me is that I found by wearing it around the house for more than the usual 15 min in a store can highlight issues that can affect your decision....of course YMMV.
