Has anybody transitioned from a modular (flip-up, I guess) helmet to a full face one?. I only had open face and flip-ups. My current HJC SY-Max is going into its 6th year and is supposed to be discarded after 5.
The reason I'm thinking to get a full face this time:
1. I use the current HJC almost only on the full face mode, I have an open face (AGV Blade) for urban / extreme hot weather
2. price *
3. weight
So, the questions: is it going to be a claustrophobic transition period? Am I going to miss the flexibility of, let's say, popping into a store for a quick purchase without taking off the helmet, or talking to a toll booths attendant, etc?
* Yes, I've heard that one should spend on the helmet proportionally to the value one puts on one's head. Nevertheless. $800+ Arai?
thanks for your input,
Marius
