Check out the Shoei "Multi-tech". Full face protection, but the chin bar flips up so you can talk and be heard without removing the whole helmet. It also make you look less intimidating at the gas stations!

Well,

I didn't see where anybody mentioned the mfg. date......if you order online, you don't have much choice.......since helmets are supposedly only good for 3 to 5 years, a lot of people put them on sale and give them away for door prizes when they start getting old on the shelf.....one of my pet peeves.......hey! Ticket # 345678, you just won a new helmet!.....turns out the thing is the wrong size and 4 years old, you got what you won......we didn't want a lawsuit for selling you an out of date helmet so we GAVE you one.............enjoy your free helmet, we will take it off inventory for advertising.....oh well.........

I agree though. My full facer is matte white.
