HJC Modular all the time. The built-in flip down sunshield is a nice feature, too. I haven't worn sunglasses since I got this helmet.
I had a full face (fixed) HJC before and was wearing it in my accident this spring. The marks on the helmet indicate that if I hadn't been killed, I would at the very least have serious facial scars and lost half my scalp on the pavement.

HJC IS-33 Helmet. 3/4, with face shield. 99.9% of the time. Wore full coverage for a LOT of years, on a LOT of crotch rockets, then went 3/4 with the first Wings. I really wanted the modular to work for me, but for some reason, all the brands and sizes I tried, would not keep from knocking on my chin. Don't know why, it doesn't seem to stick out, just did. I'm happy with the 3/4, though. I think if I didn't have a windshield, I would go for another full coverage. Built in sunglasses are nice, and work well with glasses. I can put it on with my seeing-eye-glasses in place.  |

Before the crash it was a Nolan 3/4 N42. When I high sided, I, not the bike did a lot of damage to the truck that stopped me. The bike was behind me and the only paint transfer was on the helmet and my jacket. When I decided that I was going to ride again, I went to Helmet city .com and they had a Nolan Outlaw Ncom modular on clearance for a dollar less than a new N42. I now have a storm trooper hat. www.helmetcity.comhttp://www.helmetcity.com/page/HC/CTGY/n102solids looks like the first one except flat So far so good. It was a little close to start with but I am liking it more as I go. Have to see what happens in the summer though. |

Since living in Germany for several years and screaming down many an Autobahn, I have switched from a 3/4 helmet to full face modular, Schubert C2, great bucket, but did take some getting used to (Weight). The main reasons for the switch were simple, first off my old bucket was 12 years old (should replace every 5 at the least) and I was screaming down the Autobahn trying to make time one day and I found that the smallest of rock kicked up by a BMW going a hell of a lot faster than me hurts like Sheit when impacting your cheek and leaves a nice scar.

Your brain is about the only organ in your body that won't regenerate after some form of damage, so it's an Arai RX-Q when I ride...

A full-faced Arai Profile (egg-shaped) 100% of the time. Its the law and I have no problem obeying it. I wear it even if I am somewhere where I am not required.
My first Arai did save me from what would have been major scars - and so I bought another......

Either a Fulmer or an HJC modular full face in cold weather, rain or when there's lots o' traffic. Also have a Fulmer half helmet for those stinking hot Tennessee summers.
I really like the Fulmer modular.

Ohio must wear a Helmet first year after that optional.
I wear a Shoei Multi Tech, full face modular 95%of the time. I have a Scorpian EXO 100 half helmetwith the retractable sun shield. Both are great helmets.
I wear a helmet 99 % of the time. Just a good habit for me to get into. And I dont buy, for me the limited vision and hearing thing either. IME.

If I wear a helmet, this is it. http://www.directlineparts.com/product.asp?pid=3157&str=2 Very light and comfortable. It's the only helmet I can wear. I own an Arai full face, and a modular. I have never worn them on my bike. I can't even stand them on my head in the garage. The thing I dislike the most is the restricted perifial vision. I like the wind on my face, if it's cold, I'll wear a fleece lined neoprene face mask. Very warm and still get the wind. I agree with F6Dave..."Accident prevention is the best protection" |

I can put it on with my seeing-eye-glasses in place. Nice to see this again... I've since bought an HJC CL-Max, which fits me well. I still have just a tad tightness on the chinny-chin-chin, but it's not too obnoxious. When the weather gets better again, I'll have to see which I use the most.  R |

Fulmer modular. I flip up at stop lights for cooling purposes, down when riding; otherwise like has been previously stated, I could save money and get a 3/4!
The Fulmer is the only helmet I've found (so far) that doesn't give me a pressure headache in the center of my forehead.
