However, sometimes the bike will affect the helmet and the resultant noise level.
On a personal note, I do not like full face, partly due to loss of peripheral vision and partly not being able to speak or mouth words. However, full face helmets certainly are more comfortable in rain or hail!
My Bell Zephyr full face did not keep my face any warmer than my HJC CS-5N (like the visor when riding into a rising or setting sun), nor did it seem any quieter. It was gifted to a member of the WildGuzzi forum.
I only started using ear plugs recently, especially for long rides and it is much more pleasant.
Circa 1976, my wife and I each had Shoei S-20 full face helmets ($45 each???). Probably not as protective, but seemed much less face mashing and better vision than what I have tried on recently.
Guess I am just being retro all the way!
