Sonya and I both wear full face helmets, her a Shoei, and I an Arai. After seeing enough accidents where people have landed on their chins, faces, Foreheads, I prefer the full face, and I will not skimp on quality. I have owned KBC, and HJC, and have seen what can happen to them in an accident. ( had one crack falling off dining room table ) Now buy higher quality, Lighter, better air flow.
