I've moved from no helmet, to 1/2 and now wear a 3/4 almost all the time. Probably will be looking for a full helmet soon...lol. To jgreg's point, the newer flip up modular's seem pretty nice...

I wear a Arai Quantum 2 full face for really cold weather. Only problem with it is not as much air gets to the vents for the visor behind the batwing fairing, even with a 6 inch windshield, so i have to keep it cracked a little. Otherwise i wear the HD Spoiler Hybrid helmet and really like it.

Ok I did a search, read and read and read. Looks like ff or mod. Now have to talk wife into getting one herself; [she likes no helmet] hate to mess up her pretty face. Thanks everyone.

Try scorpion ,.. they have all types...
I use the EXO-100 Series which is half helmet with pop down visor, just like pilots...
I do prefer the full face, but I just can't do it in the summer...

As with most threads, the best one is usually one the author is wearing!
With that in mind, you might want to take a look at the Shark helmet. It was featured in Rider magazine during the last year. It's a very good FF, but converts to a true 1/2, as well. (That means no appendage on top of the helmet to catch the wind.) Also includes a flip-down sun shade. I've seldom had fogging problems with it.
It's just one option, but keeps me from having to carry an extra helmet.

I just graduated up to the 3/4 HJC IS33, really like it. I had been using the scorpion 100 1/2.
Sure hope I've made the change to FF before I need it, if you know what I mean.

I have two flip-ups, white for the Harleys, black for the Buell! Schuberth C2s, but I see there is a C3 available now. They have a built in sun visor, generally good quality and comfort, also very quiet.
