My worm's worth. I suppose a full helmet is the safest. But, like you, I wear a half lid. I've tried a full helmet a few times, hated it. Might as well ride in a car. If a full face helmet ruins the enjoyment of the ride, what's the point? Sure, my half lid isn't as comfortable in a rainstorm, snowstorm, meteor storm, but for the short amount of time this happens, I just "man up" and chalk it down to another riding experience. (But as a safety aside, you're heard the old expression, "safety in numbers". Therefore, I would suggest you take a friend like me along to "scout out" the dangerous bits. Pay for my gas, food and lodging, and I'M YOU'RE MAN!) (Really Karl, it's the safe thing to do!)
