I wear modular helmets exclusively. They provide the best of both worlds - 3/4 & full face. You get chin protection not provided by a 1/2 or 3/4 lid and the freedom to open up and get air or sip a drink, etc.. Also a godsend if you ever have to sneeze! :yikes: They are slightly louder than a full face but earplugs resolve that. Klim makes a very light modular - lighter than the Neotec 2 and Shuberth C3 and less costly. HJC also has a few to pick from. I have 3 modulars: Klim, HJC C90, & HJC RPHA Max. Personally, I never notice my head being pushed to the side in crosswinds. Rode east & west across Texas with steady 20+ mph crosswinds with plenty of gusts on 2 wheels, leaning into the wind to go straight.
If your problem persists the suggestion to get a neck collar similar to the type racers use to support the lid on your shoulder is a good option.
