Tried my first modular helmet about three years (HJC) ago after using mostly Shoei full face helmets. I wear earplugs when riding so helmet noise not as big a factor - love dem ear plugs. Visibility good with both, I constantly swivel my head while riding, never trusted car drivers much and now that a cell phone is a standard accessory look out. Internal sun shield nice, fit and finish good, excellent warranty, pinlock worth the money, convenience of flip up is outstanding. Tried my old full face for a week, quickly went back to modular.
Safety? Local police motorcycle officers wear them - same brand. They say they are safe enough for them.
If you ride a motorcycle you are an optimist.
A metaphor to remember...
