I agree with that assessment, and I wanted so bad to get a full face when I upgraded my helmet, but Like I said, I felt like giving up the protection of the chin guard part of a full face was better than giving up unrestricted vision.
I may regret that when I have an accident one of these days, but at least I will see it coming. :retard:[/quote:3km8oeak] 30 years ago full face helmets restricted your vision. Modern helmets will not restrict vision. The opening is much larger and the materials are better. You just have to acclimatize to the new hat and learn to swivel your head properly.
