Currently I have a full face and open face helmet, I like the extra visability of the open face and sometimes find my full face box helmet a bit restricted, can anyone recomend a good full face with less of a restricted view or should I be thinking of a flip front?

Flip fronts look like there would be a lot of wind drag when open, my current open face has a full face visor but is a bit noisy over 40mph.

What you think?

In general flip front helmets are illegal to ride with up but certain helmets can be used whilst up not sure which ones but you have to check this with the shop when buying

Crap, I ride with mine up in town when ever it's a very hot day... I should check that out. I've never been stopped for it though. But come to think of it, my chin would probably have a very bad case of road rash if I were ever to come off with the front up. Neutral

My Caberg is not 'certified' for use with the chin bit up. Unlikely to find a cop who knows about that though - they're more likely to try and do you from a point of ignorance I'd say.

I tried that once, the fag bent in two and poked me in the eye.

It burned like a bitch.
