Full Helmet
Full face - No way
1/2 helmet worn 1 time
I bought the helmet for when we travel in a state that thinks it needs to protect me from me and tried it on one ride. It's the first helmet I've had that really fit me right and it wasn't half bad. Still prefer to turn my ball cap backwards.

Full Face
Crikey Guys
Speaking from experience, a Full face is what stops your jaw being shaved to nothing when you hit the deck - Don't worry about the broken hip or broken shoulder when you slide into the curb...a full face helmet will save your jaw and your life.

I wear a full face helmet and the buffeting disappeared after I replaced the windshield with a Clear View Windshield. I'm vertically challenged (short to those who aren't PC) so it made it even better. I can either see over the windshield when I want to or thru it when necessary.

I just bought last month for the cold weather and love it. I ought a black HD flip face at the local dealer and it fits like a glove and the flip face option is awesome.
I like it a LOT more than I thought I would and it keeps be VERY warm. I have not noticed any issues with the wind and have already worn it twice on the interstate at 70 to 80 MPH and it has been very windy here this winter.
So far so good and it I was heading out on a trip where weather may be a problem then yes I would wear it.

Same here. Doesn't matter what motorcycle I'm riding, I've got one one of half-dozen full face helmets in my garage.
