I wear a full face helmet. Can't beat it for the amount of protection it provides. Just picked up a Bell RS-1... it's really nice.

Of course, YMMV. Have a great ride.

I have a 1/2 helmet for when it is hot and warm and a FF HD helmet for when the temp gets below 45.

I need to replace my 1/2 and was considering a full face all the time if i can find a well vented one.
Wife has a 3/4 that she really likes.

Me too. Next one will be a flip up.

For all but the shortest trips I like a ff or modular helmet. The ability to reduce wind and noise when desired is a real luxury and a real fatigue reducer on longer trips. A well vented helmet is not a problem even if very hot outside. Weight is the only real problem if you have orthopedic problems. Have a great trip.

Very lightweight, DOT and fits great.

My wife and I both wear Schuberth C3 helmets, with built-in bluetooth communicators. The dealer we got them from has a trained fitter (worth visiting just for that experience I can tell you!) who makes sure your helmet is the correct fit. I've never bought a helmet through the post, but will look out that young lady next time - er, look to get my next one properly fitted.
