Question for 1/2 and 3/4 helmet guys.

[skidz]

This is what I wear with glasses or more often, prescription sunglasses, and I love it. It fogs just a tiny bit, but quickly clears up. I have a BaggerShield also.

I just bought a 3/4 for the same reason. I wanted to be cooler on hot days but still have good protection. I got an HJC IS-33 II. It has a ratcheting face shield that I leave up at slower speeds. It also has a drop down sun shield which is really handy in changing light conditions. It's also a must if you have glasses with photochromic lenses. Those lenses won't darken with the shield down because the plastic blocks the UV that triggers the process.

They're not easy to find, but the Shark Evoline modular helmets let you fold the chin bar all the way back, essentially converting to a 3/4 helmet with removing any parts. I've never seen another one like it.

What is the safest 3/4 helmet that you can use sunglasses with?
I love the feeling of my face in the wind with the 1/2 helmet / but I don't want to wear the 1/2 helmet not as safe

I have a Schuberth for full modular helmet / I love this when I have to use a full face in rain or extreme cold.

I think I read somewhere that broken jaws are the most common injury in motorcycle crashes ... or was it broken ribs? Don't recall. Anyway, I would think any helmet minus a chin bar is not all that safe.

I have a Schuberth C3 Pro full-face modular as well ... I like my older one so much, I bought another - hi-viz E1. Super comfortable helmets. I wear mine year-round.

I'd be curious to know if there is significant safety advantage between half and 3/4 helmet. I don't believe there is. I believe my full faced Arai is much safer than my half helmet. If I'm going to skimp on safety, I'm keeping me ears and face in the breeze.
I do wear my mesh always. Non-black mesh with shorts and t-shirt is quite comfortable. The mesh allows the breeze but the sun is blocked.

Have the same routine for the last 38 years.
1/2 helmet with wayfarer sunglasses for the summer and short trips.
3/4 helmet with wayfarer sunglasses for cool weather and long trips mainly to keep the wind noise out of my ears.
Full face/modular for winter.
Cheers

I wear Wiley X Airrage Sunglasses, Polarized Blue Mirror, Gloss Black
I just bought a new pair via Amazon / My first pair lasted 5 years and I ride almost everyday
They are the best I have used / Polarized / ruber seal needed with contacts

I highly recommend them to anyone.

Shoei RJ Platinum 3/4. As safe as can be for a 3/4 and comfy too.
