I ride with a full face helmet and sunglasses ALL the time. In town and below 60 I almost always have the visor up. Above 60-65mph I usually run with it down. 3-4 days ago I was doing 30 mph on a freeway frontage road when a full grown dragon fly hit me head-on between the eyes just a mm or two above my sunglasses. First time ever and a pretty good thump it was. Body was about the size of my small finger. Up until then I only remember a singular wasp schwacking me inside the helmet. Worst part was it must have been stunned because it fell into the helmet around my mouth and tried to climb back out. I raised my head up and scooped/swiped it out underneath. Occasionally I hit a bug that must also be wearing a helmet because it sounds like a small rock hitting the shell.
