Full vs three quarter
I'm thinking about picking up a second, three-quarter size helmet for the commute to the office and short rides around town. On a scientific basis, I'm aware that this is probably not a good idea as pretty much everything I've ever read says: 1) you get in as many accidents just popping out for a quick errand as you do on a gnarly tour and 2) always wear all the gear all the time, fool!
Nonetheless, I don't wear the armored Batman pants into the office already (wranglers) and, the 3/4 would save me from the whole eyeglass dance and allow me to finish my coffee before I head out in the am. Besides, my ski helmet is a three quarter type - not sure they even sell the full monty. Back (in the Jurassic period) when I rode the scooter I had a three quarter as well.
Seeing how it's winter and all, and this is a nice polarizing, emotional (and absolutely for real!) topic, I thought I'd throw this chum in the water and get your collective wisdom. (I'd still go full battle rattle for extended rides, canyon twisties, freeway, etc.)
