I wear a full face year a round. I have the flip up so when it to hot I can make it a 3/4. I rather be safe then sorry. My first child I had with the lady from I remember wake-up and seeing the condom on the night stand. Now I'm paying $1100.00 a month for child support.

1/2 here, wifey wears a 1/2 with zip-on ear flaps when it gets colder, found headphones for intercom that look like stereo headphones that go behind the head with a mic (ebay)- can use with or without the helments.

Full face for the last several years. After an extended trip in one I find I'm just more comfortable (not just from a safety issue but comfort). Prior to that it was a 3/4 all the time. Tired a bennie years ago but just hated the damm thing. If you crash anything is better than nothing but I have no problems with those who chose not to wear a helmet (I've done it some ) but its not for me...at least for anything over 40MPH (again, not just a safety issue but comfort).

Thats my helmet of choice right now...been thru the RF 700,800,900 and now the 1000. Shoei helmets just fit me good (only one I can mail order and know it will fit). I also have a Nolan flip up which I really like. Nice to open it up at stop lights or even at slow speeds.
