I preffer an open face because I can see better, and it is not as hot, BUT in my open face I had rubber/pebble fly into my eye, twice on the same day, at BW. NOT FUN! especially when approaching a corner at 90+. I had a full face next race.

He tried to jump a road and came up just short. Plastic surgery, for starters!

Nothing says 'I love you.' like a box of Hydroshoks Group: Moderators Posts: 5,284 Joined: 23-December 03 From: Granbury, TX Member No.: 4	Trying to learn as much as I can .... I realize what is the best ... full face and a Hans. And not wanting to get into the whole "how much is your head/life worth" conversation which never answers any real world questions ... I drove motorcycles for years and have heard it all ... I currently use an open face helmet. I like OF better because it's easier to use with my glasses and it just seems to be cooler and easier to breath. Whether that is reality or psychological is between me and my therapist. What head restraint systems are availble for an OF helmet? What is real protection and what is just hype? Suits ... 1 piece or 2? single layer or multiple? Do brands really matter?
