Helmet Style

[Schrauf]

Okay this is kind of a pointlesss question. What style of helmet dose everyone wear, full face, half, open face, etc?

[Bob Denman]

We use Schuberth C3-Pro helmets.
They are a modular design: we both wear eyeglasses, so it makes it much easier to get into and out of the helmet.

I'm a firm believer in protecting as much of my head as possible. It may not be pretty, but it's the only one that I've got!

Carbon Fiber Modular from Klim. Love, love, love it!

HJC CL-17 Matte Black for commutes.

Outlaw T-75 German style flat black for back roads.

[BernardD]

Nolan N104 absolute.

Schoei RF-1200 full face here but I'm considering adding a 3/4 or 1/2 helmet to the collection for times when I'm just zipping around town running errands. The bike is great for those "gotta run to the supermarket for a quart of milk" errands. Enforces discipline when you know you have no way to get that case of 32 rolls of toilet paper home.

Arai Defiant DOT and Snell Certified, safest and for me anyway, the most comfortable helmet on the planet full face!

Shoei Neotec modular helmet with sun shield is what I use. I like having the option to lift the front up in slow traffic

[old Timer]

Schuberth Modular and have on order a Schuberth 3/4.

Don't understand why anyone would wear one of those wan-a-be tough guy no protection Beanie helmets.

Modular in the cold, 3/4 in the warm

Modular during the day, open face at night. Don't like changing the dark shield on my modular. If I get caught with it at night, I open the shield and wear glasses.

I have a modular helmet. I love the flexibility of altering the helmet to match changing weather and riding conditions.

Bottom line the one that fits you and that'll wear is the Best helmet made. The choice is yours!

HJC modular and if and when I upgrade it will still be a modular.

Our choice is either full face or modular. We have Arai, Shoei, Scorpion, Bell, HJC, and Z1R. Disclaimer: It has something to do with the search for the "perfect" helmet. Progress report: It either doesn't exist or we haven't found it yet.

Some time ago one of the helmet manufacturers created a model featuring graphics dividing the helmet into sections that indicated the percentage of times each section suffered significant damaged in a large sampling of accidents. The left and right chin areas accounted for something like 37%. That was sufficient to justify having worn full coverage helmets since the first Bell Star waaay back in the day.

I believe full face models offer the best protection particularly given that, in another thread about what gear to wear a member indicated that the most likely Spyder accident would involve striking another hard object (rather than the old "I had to lay it down" rhubarb) and flying through the air rather than sliding. I don't think doing a pavement belly-flop and landing on my unprotected chin would be a good thing.

Afterthought - one possible translation of "I had to lay it down." I decided to relinquish control and become a passenger.

HJC SyMax 3 Helmet White (we ended up with a White RT-S to match the helmets)... First Modular, used to wear full face, but went modular so I didn't have to take helmet off for photographs. Works like a charm and very comfortable.

Mine is a Shoei Neotec modular. Wife's is a Schuberth C3 Pro modular. Both of us wear glasses and modular make it easier other wise would likely be full face.

Most important I think is getting what fits you best and the best you can afford. Every helmet maker makes them a little different in shape. Really can't over emphasize how important it is to wear it long enough in store to make sure it fits you properly and comfort does not mean too loose as they loosen up a little with time and wear.
