The gear will/MAY protect you IF you are involved in an accident, but the goal is to NOT be involved, and ones awareness is undoubtedly improved when your 360 vision (and hearing) is not impeded by a massive head cover, IMHO. I FEEL much more in tune with my surroundings then my heads not covered. Just MY reasons for not wearing a helmet. Everyone's opinion is just, whatever makes you feel safer. In this Florida heat, a lot of the ATGATT riders aren't out during our extended summers. The ones that are, are b1tching all the time about the heat. Again, whatever makes YOU the most at ease, and gives you the most awareness of your surroundings.
And you may see me tonight
