I decided to try a full face helmet a few months ago. Most of them gave me a closter phobic feeling when I tried them on. I tried the HJC flip up model and felt a little better. They make the H-D flip up helmet too. They're identical except for the logo - oh yeah and the price. Anyway, I bought it and have worn it quite a bit trying to get used to it. I have a few complaints. It is unbearably hot! I can't hear anything. My peripheral vision is nearly nonexistent. Every time I take it off my hair looks like I just stepped out of the shower. I have red marks on both cheeks and across my forehead. Needless to say, I'm disappointed but I guess protecting your brain comes with sacrafice. I really wanted the safety of a full face helmet but sure miss the wind in my face, the smell of fresh air and a panoramic view of everything around me. In this day of technology, can't some smart guy invent an ultra light, comfortable and well vented helmet that makes you want to wear it? [smiley=nixweiss.gif]
