I ride a 1200 gs mostly long distance pavement riding with some weekend short jaunts too. I have a shoei RF 1200 I wear that is in good shape. It's very hot over 85 degrees. Also fairly noisy too (ok with earplugs). I also have a 3/4 hjc that I will occasionally wear without faceshield but with motorcycle glasses when hot and it is an amazing experience, love it for short distances. But helmet is old and does not fit my head right. I realize I am making a major compromise on safety of my face with that helmet.
Seems like a flip up would be nice compromise. Could ride with flipped up when really hot on short low speed rides but mostly ride with it down. The Shoei neotec fits me well.
So do you guys use the helmet like this in hot weather? Anyone go from modular back to full face? I know modular has some downsides too. My other option is but another 3/4 helmet but really don't like the safety compromise and not ideal on longer drives or highway trips. Would like that 3/4 experience sometimes but like the option to go back to full face in the fly.
