Title: I had this crazy thought today
Post by Badass94Cad on 11/30/12 at 13:23:52

Perhaps I should consider a full face helmet if I'm going to ride when there's snow on the ground.

It was freakin cold this morning!!!  :o

I was thinking the same thing Wednesday.  I have a full face, just don;t like it as much as the 3/4.  I guess winter has finally arrived.  :(

Cad I only have a 3/4 lid and I rarely wear that. In the winter I use either a baclava(?) or a neoprene mask I got at CycleGear. Both are the "FreezeOut" brand and do me fine on the interstate up to 75mph at 40*F. Below that I'm fine for 55-60 mph down to 35*F. I'm gettin too old to ride at temps below 35* except maybe the 6 mile ride into town.

I have had 3 major motorcycle wrecks.  Two head ons...  And here is my take on helmets.

This is from the big California 10 year motorcycle crash statistics data dump.

Quote:
Helmets reduce closed head injury in direct proportion to increased spinal trauma.  (Save your head and break your neck)

Over 60% of head impacts are to the face and chin.


I do not always use a helmet, but when I do, it is full face with a solid chin guard.  The reason is that at slow speeds in Houston summers the heat can be more of an accident risk...  On the highway, or in winter, I use the full face.  I have a gouge in a full face, and a scar on my chin from a 3/4 to tell me why.

Also, if you use a 3/4 or shorty, you get less than half the protection and all the spinal trauma risk.   :(

Full coverage is a great idea. If youve ever seen the Hurt ( yea,, thats right, the name of the guy who did the study's name was Hurt) & he will show ya what %age of the time different areas of the head got, well,, hurt. The jaw / lower face takes a high %age of the shots to the head.

LOL, that's funny, well, the name anyway.   The dentist next door to my dentist is Dr Payne.   I'm trying to think what it would be like to recommend him in a grocery store conversation?
