When riding in hot temperatures, a full face helmet is cooler. It blocks the hair dryer in the face effect and most are very well vented.

80 mph wind rushing past your ears effectively deafens you to other sounds. You hear better with a helmet blocking that wind. And it doesn't affect your ability to hear while stopped either, I will stop in parking lot make a phone call and just use the speakerphone with my helmet still on.

Erle, if you have 360° vision you're a freak; normal people have about 90°of peripheral vision to each side.

D.O.T requires an an opening of 105° to each side. Mine is much more than that, I cannot see the corners of my face shield even when I turn my eyes.

Rocks, wind, and bugs do far more to limit ones vision.

Myths live on by uninformed people spouting their opinions.

Like I said before, if you don't want to wear one, then don't.
Just have the balls to say you don't want to wear one instead of making all kinds of (wrong) claims about helmets.
