Q: I am trying to decide what type of motorcycle helmet to get. A half helmet or a full face helmet. What are the pros and cons of each helmet? Please answer if you have personal experience.
A: Ok, understand it's a decision YOU have to make, I'll not tell you what I wear, But what the pro's and con's are. Full Face Solid: best protection, protects whole head and with chin bar also protects face pretty much, also most quiet (Noise). Con's are some people feel confined and lack of ventilation (Hotter) Full Face lift up front: same as above but there's a chance the flip up part could break off on impact and not protect face/nose. Also noisier. Does allow flip up at lites,etc for ventilation. 3/4 face: Same as full face except does not protect face since it has no chin bar, does allow more air, also is noisiery then above. Faster on/off. 1/2 helmet: Min required by law. Protects Skull (Min) te reduce brain dead chances. does not normally Protects face and ears, nose etc. It allows the most air, also allows most noise. Normally cant use most headsets (Communication) with these versions. Basically, as you trade safety, you gain freedom in the wind , noise and view. But IF you get into an accident, the odds of you being killed drastically disfigured goes way up. Hope This helped.......
