I've been wearing flip face helmets for nine years with either full beards or goatees.  No reason to get too radicle about loosing facial hair.
Cheers,
Ken

Half helmet all year round here.  Have a great Arai full face gathering dust in the bonus room closet.  Great helmet, very comfortable and quiet, collector graphics, about $800 (14 years ago) and bought it when I had the 'busa (8 months) and wore it once since.  Retired my bell half face about 4 years ago for an HD hybrid half helmet.  Light, comfortable and love it.  As most of us on here commenting, been riding over 40 years.  Half helmet for the majority of that time.  Was wearing a Arthur Fulmer full face when I had my wreck years ago (30 years now....wow) and cracked it.  However, I still feel much more comfortable with the half.  Seems (to me) I can see so much better with a half.  Have a face wrap when it gets below 30...

I normally wear a Nolan w/shield and sunshield in Aus. but last year in Febuary, I rode from Orlando to L.A. with a full face Shoei that cost me $950 (Discounted) in Melbourne from the stealers, with a lift up front...Luckily, as I almost froze going through Flagstaff.

At home I don't wear it as I find it too claustrophobic, but I'm on my way over to Texas next week, to pick op another bike for another ride across your beautiful country, so as I love your mouintain areas, I guess the Shoei accompany's me again....(Keeps my large nose warm)

Hey Spydie:
The SF Police let us go topless in that parade, since speeds were at  about 5 MPH or less.  Had to helmet up once done. ;-)

Bought a Full Face Helmet in 2010 and had never worn it until today.  Wanted to get out and make a little loop today on the bike and thought why not wear the full face helmet since it was a little cool.(mid 50's)  It was really nice to wear and really enjoyed the ride.

I just replaced my Shoei multitec today with a Schuberth C3 Pro.

Currently have 8 helmets (4 half helmets - 2 Vega, a Skid Lid, and a HJC), 1 open face with a face shield (HJC), a Harley modular (flip face) which made by HJC, and 2 Arai full face helmets.  Starting to appreciate the open face with the face shield and the modular and the full face helmets due to the amount of stuff that his hit me in the face.  I rode for almost 20 years using full face helmets only but I do appreciate something a little cooler during the hot humid summer months.

I just bought a HJC CL-MAX II to use in the early Spring and Late Fall rides as its still in the 40's here.  It did get up to mid 50's this weekend and I totally took advantage of that to ride.

Up until a couple of years ago I used a "novelty lid" for 15 years that was basically worthless. After hearing about a friends relative getting in a minor accident but major head trauma due to a similar "lid" I went to a DOT half helmet which I felt better about after I got used to it. I decided about 9 months ago to go "all in" and got a Schuberth C3 Pro (Europe has had it for over a year) which I fell in love with (only exception is poor ventilation due to it being a modular and believe it or not too quiet) but have been worried about riding with in in the middle of the summer. A couple of weeks ago I was in a shop and was telling the parts guy about my worry and he turned me on to the Schuberth SR1 which is really meant for racing so has amazing ventilation and 2 vents by the ears that can be opened to hear other bikes around you (or in my case my pipes and exhaust...). I have around 500 miles on it now and I love it! unbelievably light (I bought the European version online which was lighter) and I cant imagine a full face having any more air flow then this. If I cant wear this one during the summer then I am a lost cause...

Harley Davidson 98211-10VM which my dealer threw in after my $crew#%g on my last bike purchase. I am happy with it, I too have glasses that I like to wear and being a modular, it makes it possible and easily so! I also have done the face plant riding without a full face and had wired jaw and broken/chipped teeth...... It still hurts in weather changes nearly 40 years later... And a few years ago I hit a dog and I did a face plant on asphalt w/ Shoei and without it God only knows what would have happened, it distroyed the helmet but surely saved my face at a minimum.

 I have this helmet also.  Is it possible to add a piece across the bottom of the chin that snugs against your neck like the Nolan?
