Full or Open Face Helmet?

I feel that folks should ride with the helmet that's right for them.

For me personally, I always wear a full face. Bell RS-1 is my current favorite.

My priorities in helmet selection are:
1. Safety,
2. Fit (I believe that depending on the shape of your head, some brands will be better than others for you),
3. Visibility/Reflectivity. I like white, but avoid silver and gray helmets because I feel they blend in to the background too much. I really like to have some reflective paint in the design of the helmet.
4. Comfort/Quiet/Ventilation

A bonus of my current helmet, that I now almost take for granted, but shouldn't, is that it doesn't fog. 10,000 miles, no fog. Bless you, engineers who did that.

I really don't make any attempt to match the helmet to the bike, but I understand those that do.

Again, that's only how I look helmet choice and what's right for me.

In this paint scheme, there are hi-viz highlights and all the silver highlights are highly reflective, which I like. I hope the bright white background with stripes helps with visibility, but I don't know that for sure.
