I could never feel safe with an open-face helmet! Why wear one at all? Here's why: I was sitting on my bike in a line-up waiting in a construction zone. A rather large dump-truck rolled by and a rock the size of my fist fell from the truck, bounced down the road and hit me in the chin, of my full face shoie helmet. The impact cracked the helmet and i had to discard it! Had i worn an open face... man, i don't even want to think about it! My helmets are full of scars from road debris, chipped chin-pieces and scratched visors. Nope! Go for the full face!
Think about this, do you feel because you have a sidecar, you can ride in shorts and sandals?
