The only thing that knocked my teeth out from my wreck with a full face was the mix and it also busted my bottom lip (like the bottom skin but under the mouth opening) completely open and had to be sewn. I wish I had bette leg gear maybe I wouldn’t have broken my femur but then again I was also thrown 30 feet from my bike
🎉Good video! I've always worn full face helmets in the past, except for 21 years as a postie wearing open face helmets. For my own bikes though it was always full face. That being said I just recently bought a HJC i100 modular helmet and I love it! Particularly with the petrol station scenario.
I usually wore and prefer full face helmets but after surviving lung issues, I have no choice but to use half face helmets. I need to have access to a better air source while riding and I think I can get around 10-20% more oxygen saturation using half face helmets than full face. I can sense it because I felt a bit dizzy using my full face for a 30-minute ride while riding perfectly fine on a half-face. But if you're perfectly healthy, go for full face for protection!
Personally, I would always opt for a full face helmet for obvious reasons (safety #1). Pluss, my new Joe Rocket helmet is killer! Vibrant with colours that scream "yah, I'm a lady rider!" LOL Open face at least offer the option of adding a visor if you so wish, so you can get that extra layer of protection without feeling "closed in". I personally would always advise against the beenie helmets but (and I'm going to stereotype here, forgive me), the Harley riders seems to love them. Perhaps it just makes them feel "cooler". To each their own. I personally don't like the look of the modular helmets, but I can see how they'd be functional. I would be concerned, however, in the event of an accident. Would it break apart? That being said, are you (QuackerJack) familiar with the clamshell helmet? When I fist saw this some years back, I thought it was an amazing concept. Not far off of the modular but very different at the same time. If I remember correctly (because I'm too lazy to look it up right now LOL), I believe that the concept originated from an Australian rider. Anyhow, that's my five cents about helmets. AGATT!!! Safe riding. ✌
Open face for local riding speed and distance lower. Full for going any where weather and distance are your goals. Would like to add a modular to my mix. Always wear a helmet.
I personally have anxiety and when wearing my full face helmet I get extremely anxious due to the claustrophobic feeling and the lack of vision as I am constantly checking my surroundings even when not on my bike
I don’t know why anyone would ever want anything less than full face. Not only does it protect your face from becoming shredded Parmesan, but imagine cooking along and getting a fat ass bug to the face. Or rocks kicked up from other vehicles. Those Harley boomers with no helmet at all are crazy.
Love the out takes... However the modular helmets are also an advantage for those of us who need to wear glasses while riding.. it allows us to remove and place on the helmet without removing our glasses a big plus for me, I still wear a Go pro on my chin and understand the extra weight (that is correct) the Go Pro is my insurance policy incase of an accident and the only view it dose not give me is from behind. still working on that one.
I may not be the best looking guy out there but I have grown fond of my face.. I would like to keep the payment from eating it. I grew up skateboarding and know what the road can do to skin at relatively low speeds. Sooooo full face even on a old 72cc Honda Super Cub is good for me.. it may only go up to about 45 mph but that is more then fast enough for the road to chew up my face.
Great video! I've been wearing my full face helmet from the start (pretty new to motorcycling) but I just ordered a 3/4 open face helmet purely for rides around town when I won't have to deal with high speeds and all the bugs.
Great presentation! I apreciate you brought up the peripheral vision subject, which is overlooked very often. If you're able to see everything around you, you're safer and might not need for the helmet to protect you. But there are full face ones that have great peripheral visibility as well. Regarding the windshield, I once got a little bird hit it while riding around 100 km/h on freeway; I'm so happy my windshield was down, as I tend to keep it up sometimes when its very hot and have sunglasses as well. About the modular, a motorcycle paramedic once said, at a motorcycle safety course that he prefers the modular because it is a lot easier to provide help to someone wearing a modular that to someone wearing a full face, even if the full face has the emergency removal cheek pads. Now I want to buy one for the city and even thought I'd love a jet helmet, I'm leaning towards a modular, because I think riding in the city is actually more dangerous than on the open road.
Open face are my favourite helmets. But never in the rain - raindrops at 100kph hurt. 😁 there’s no denying the safety improvement of a modular or full face (in that order). Modular is handy for commuting, and if you go through a security checkpoint for work - just pop it up to be seen. I like off-road full face helmets, and the newer ‘adventure’ ones with drop down visors. But road full face helmets I just can’t tolerate. My pattern is town and short local rides is open face, and longer rides an adventure/off-road style full face helmet.
I much prefer a full face helmet,i recently got a new hjc with a tinted visor its perfect,at least i don't get bugs hitting my face,and the visor is very easy to clean after a bee etc pings off it,i do enjoy listening to what u say,great bike too ninja 400 all the way.
A decent modular helmet that is both DOT & ECE rated is the only way to go, in my opinion, for the convenience of being able to lift up the chin bar when needed or desired and to lower it back into the full face position when riding again ! If both, a Full Face and Modular Helmet, carry the DOT & ECE protection rating how is the Full Face any more substantial ?? 🤔
What about open face helmets with visor … Wearing a full face like he said has a really bad Fov that’s why I prefer openface with a visor. I don’t know i feel more confident with an open face helmet with a visor …
I wear an open face helmet with a flip down visor as I get severe claustrophobia in full face. As I'm a learner at the moment and never going fast or on a motorway, I'll take my chances. I hope that by the time I'm experienced enough for a "big" bike, I won't be as claustrophobic and can find a full face with good field of vision and amazing ventilation. All suggestions welcome unless obscene.
I have both, prefer my OF unless I'm going on the highway or at faster speeds (as you said, 70 mph, etc.) Bugs, sun, wind are not issues as I have a drop down tinted visor and wear a pulled up neck scarf. Please point me to the study that cites the 30% finding and actually compares the two directly rather than just citing busted up chin bars in crashes with FF helmets. Might that actually mean that FF helmets are more dangerous as more people tend to get in accidents with them? I only know of 2 studies done on FF vs OF, one in Germany and one in Asia (Malaysia and Taiwan.) Neither answer this question conclusively. Also, stats do show that 40-50% of crashes (in the US) involved alcohol, or when riding on the street as if on a track. So, probably the best indicator of safety is training, though a good helmet, no matter which kind, will protect the skull equally. But cool video! Thanks!
Interesting pros and cons there but one that you missed is one of the most important. It’s the psychological effect that these different helmets have. Open-faced helmets in the majority are used by people who ride slower, eg cruiser riders (the clue is in the name - cruiser) and scooter riders etc. I find That a very high percentage of those riders ride with more care and awareness due to the consequences if they don’t. Full faced helmets seem to give a lot of people who wear them a false sense of security and therefore they ride faster and take more risks. You can wear all the safety gear and the best full face helmets that you want but if you ride at stupid speeds then your face will be the least of your worries. But never mind, at least you’ll still have your teeth when you’re in your coffin after breaking your back/neck due to a high speed collision!
My buddy had a yard sale not long ago and this older man that stopped by started talking to him because he saw his Harley. He was like yeah thinking about getting a bike again and stuff.. and ended up telling the story of him hitting a fucking deer and having half his nose ate off by the road.. and was like never will I ride with a open face again... don't think my face or wife would like it.
Full face all the way since It saved me from stones and bugs and especially a smashed face. Also you don't want any particals or bugs hitting you at 50-135 mph
I'm gonna be honest and say that my preferred riding is with no helmet hahaha... but riding around chilling around the coastal roads along Thailand or Indonesia. Otherwise whatever this video is saying applies haha
How I look at it, the helmets have different purposes to a degree. If you are going to be ripping it down a straight, then a full face helmet seems like a must. If you are going casually on back roads, the open face seems quite nicer and still relatively safe. On top of that, there are open face helmets that do have pop down visors in which can protect against small things such as bugs and loose small rocks that fly up off the road. The modular helmets are also interesting to me, but how I see them is that they are full face helmets until you need to talk, in which you can then pop them up and speak, but the moment you are back on the road you immediately have to put it down for better function.
This is a great video. Most stuff is just saying how bad an open face helmet is, this gives the pros and cons of each which is great from a viewers perspective.
It doesn't really matter. I've learned to use them all. So now I just use whatever's available. It's like driving a car - what type of car is a non-issue once you've learned how to drive. With helmets it's the same thing. As long as it can protect your head, which is the most important thing. Half face is a non-issue. Biker gangs on Harleys love to wear them and go crazy speed on freeways. Does it protect your face? Not passively, that's why part of not crashing is active safety, which is based on YOU as a rider to be CAREFUL/SKILLFUL. And then the rest is just down to being MAN ENOUGH to wear it.
Full face all the way if you land on your face you will have serious problems with the open face helmet. I work in a hospital and have seen a mandible dangling from such an injury
Man, I was really loving your video until you called me out. Im that midlife crisis on a three-wheeler. Spyder F3 to be exact! I tried the full face and I actually prefer no helmet at all. Like you, I do put it on whenever I hit the highway or a spirited stretch. Thanks for the info. Very informative.
Thanks for the video mate, and that intro was so dam relateable! Nice info and graphic about the chin guard, that was very interesting to see. I've always used full helmets but considering open face. Keep it up!
I started riding in 67 the options were open face or none got my first full face in 79 still prefer a open face with goggles and a scarf over my mouth and nose
Full face helmet if you care at all about the integrity of your jaw, teeth, face or skull. The others exist for the segment of the riding population only interested in staying legal- not safe.
Thanks, a very good comparison. I have both. I travelled down through France to the Alps on a Honda 125. Open enabled me to experience the smells of the harvest and sunflowers. Warm breeze on my face was a massive bonus. Full face can be claustrophobic and anti-social. If I am going for a spirited ride then full face for safety, but restricted periphery vision is a handicap.
If you wear prescription eyeglasses, modular is the way to go. Otherwise, for full face you have to take your glasses off, put the helmet on, then work to get the side stems of your glasses between your head and ears, which are pressed against your head by padding. If your glasses aren't flexible, you may end up breaking them or causing excessive wear to the hinges. And you know what? Those of us who started wearing glasses at a young age are used to being called names for our geeky look, so we don't care if you don't think the flip-front helmet looks cool. We know what's important. Bonus: flip up the front when you sneeze. And get gas
Fair enough, it that works best for you then there is really no argument. I'm not making fun of people who wear glasses, I am just not a fan of Modular helmets. Who knows though, maybe some day one will come around that I do like the look of? Thanks for your input mate!
@@Kwackajack The Shark that your dad was wearing is pretty reasonable looking....my Shark is still going after 6 years....Just about to replace it with an LS2 Valiant...similarly decent looking when chin bar is up. I always thought of the extra weight as a forced neck workout when going for a ride.....all on naked bikes ...in FNQ
Yesterday I accidentally hit my bike into a banch of thorny bushes on road side in around 55km/h.....I wore a full face helmet and my visor was also fully closed....I just come out with no injuries in my face...in my hand n feets there are some scratches...My advice to all wear full faced helmet tightly according to your head size and of good quality helmets..
Sir i am from india.....and watching your video from Delhi India....i really need go pro hero 9 but i am unable to afford it and i am so passionate to become a good vlogger please help me sir......😭
An open face helmet allows the rider to show off his/her enjoyment by their smile as well as picking the bugs out of their teeth or swallowing a few during/after their ride !!
The view from the full face helmet is limited but the full face helmet is the one where you can invest you're money, cause the satisfaction of safety you get from it is unbeatable. 💪❤️ #400club
I'm into my first steps into acquiring my basic bike license, and straightaway I got myself a modular helmet for the lessons 🤣Full face would be too stuffy, but I wanted some additional front protection than open face/with visor.
Once saw a dirtbike rider hit a trench and slide down a gravel road on his face.........open face helmet.......... Come off on the road a couple of times and scratched up the chin of my full face helmet.
Research has been done just lately on the pros and cons of open face and the results really surprised me have a good look on the web I like both but prefer open face and the old argument ensues if you ride to the conditions need i say more only my opinion. A good video by the way
I have all 3 types and use them all equally. For short rides to town etc I use my open face with visor. Full face I use for long rides on my own. Modular for long rides with friends.
Been waiting for a new video for a while. This video is very important for bikers. Wearing protective gears especially a helmet is a must for riders. 👍👍👍
Full face all the way! I prefer the option that allows me to keep my face in one piece, if/when it makes contact with the road.
For sure, can't argue with that
The only thing that knocked my teeth out from my wreck with a full face was the mix and it also busted my bottom lip (like the bottom skin but under the mouth opening) completely open and had to be sewn.

@@HobbitOfChaos Ayo you still alive homie?
Might as well travel in a car then.
With open face you'd get better vision, comfort & flexibility. Lower chances of crash.😊

Just wear face scarf and darker visor instead of sunglasses all problems solved for open face

Full face helmet if you care at all about the integrity of your jaw, teeth, face or skull. The others exist for the segment of the riding population only interested in staying legal- not safe.
If you have an oval shaped head, and the $, try an ARIA Signet X. Most comfortable full face. Worth the cost. High quality hand made in Japan.
Open face with full face visor is the best.

Once saw a dirtbike rider hit a trench and slide down a gravel road on his face.........open face helmet.......... Come off on the road a couple of times and scratched up the chin of my full face helmet.
I full face Shoei no question. I still have the one that saved my life. There is no "if I'm in an accident but when I'm in an accident".
Lol full face any day😎#400club
Research has been done just lately on the pros and cons of open face and the results really surprised me have a good look on the web I like both but prefer open face and the old argument ensues if you ride to the conditions need i say more only my opinion. A good video by the way
I prefer full face helmets
This has just made me want to buy a modular helmet. Best of both worlds and it’s not the heavy if you get use to it
I have all 3 types and use them all equally. For short rides to town etc I use my open face with visor. Full face I use for long rides on my own. Modular for long rides with friends.
150 cc and up open face , especially if you doing delivery, 300cc and up module and 1000cc and up full face full speed
I believe you
Pretty simple equation - do you enjoy having teeth and intact jaw or not.
Don't under estimate the protection from stones and bugs. Just go full face.
There are many 3/4 helmets that have a full visor like Arai and Shoei among others.
Nice bro #400club
Full face for myself. Maybe open face on country rides with minimal traffic
Dude can u doo abt smart helmets, like Bluetooth available helmets and etc...
