Open Face Helmet .v. Full Face Helmet ?
I thought it would be a good idea to discuss the merits/disadvantages of wearing an OPEN faced helmet in the Summer when the weather is fine as an alternative to a FULL faced one. I like the idea of an open faced helmet when it's hot but will I be taking an unacceptable risk by wearing one in the UK? My riding is likely to be 70% road (in heavy traffic) 30% offroad (nothing to technical or muddy cos I don't like to get my bike dirty!).
An open faced helmet appeals to me because it is likely to be much cooler...
I don't want to spend much more than about £80.
