Yeah, I don't feel the full restricts my vision any more than the 3/4. My main restriction is laziness and old age (its HARD to turn your head halfway around!) My main interest is:
1) Eliminating the eyeglass dance.
2) Finishing my coffee without using a crazy straw.
I realize these are pretty dumb reasons for risking my teeth, but so far, nobody has really taken me to task. One of my soccer buddies is a city motorcycle cop and he was very supportive of the 3/4. So I think I'm gonna go for it. I'll still wear the full one for anything further than the office (a seven mile cakewalk with 45 mph max speed.)
I think I will also look a little less dorky, but, the rest of me screams dork so loudly, that I don't think this will reduce the overall dork rating much.
