flcruzr Ex Member	Helmet Preference 08/13/08 at 21:11:07 What are your helmet preferences? Full face or open face? I have an HJC open face/half helmet with add on face shield...I will be getting a full face for added protection.

SavageDanny Ex Member	Re: Helmet Preference Reply #11 - 08/14/08 at 07:18:46 I use a full face, flip up style. This morning I was really glad I did. A pickup in front of me kicked up a couple rocks on my way to work this morning. One hit me in the shoulder (still hurts) the other hit the chin bar of the helmet. I don't want to imagine what it would have felt like if I didn't have the full face helmet on.

Posts: 1456 Pittsburgh, Pa Gender:	Re: Helmet Preference Reply #13 - 08/14/08 at 07:55:05 I have a 3/4 open face for summer and a flip-up modular for winter. I could never find one helmet that met ALL of my needs ALL of the time so I broke down and bought 2.

I've got an HJC 3/4 with a flip up visor and Skid Lid.

There was nothing more comforting when I went down recently than seeing the gravel sliding by on the other side of the visor. I'm throwing the Skid Lid away.

Judging by damage to the back of the helmet, I'm sure it saved my life. I never lost consciousness nor even had a headache or anything.
