Since buying this helmet I have not worn my 3/4 or 1/2 again I like this one so much.

I bought the same one last fall. I still wear my 1/2 while putting around town, but I wear this one on all my highway commuting. The full face doesn't look "cool", but I've seen too many people do too many stupid things on Highway 63, and there's too many crosses in the ditch already.

I have the "modular" (the real term for these) Nolan and its the nicest helmet I've ever touched.

And if you compare it to the HJCs, it is far superior. The nolan has all metal hinges and clasps. Further if you put the helmet in a squeeze the nolan won't bulge near the clasps like the HJC.

I rarely wear it anymore
