After reading several threads and hearing alot of stories on the news and reading them in the papers regarding fallen riders I've considering changing from my non DOT half helmet (brain bucket) to a full face DOT Helmet. I'm in NY where helmets are a must, but slap on a DOT sticker on a novelty helmet and your set. But is it truly worth it? So what do you use???
Which type helmet do you use?

Here in rural Pa, the bugs have a field day with your face. :banghead:
I wear a Arai full face just so I don't look like Jim Carey when he
played the Motorcycle Cop in Rhode Island. :moped:
As for short trips when you are tempted to wear a half/open or
novelty helmet, statistics prove that is the time you are most likely
to hit the dirt.
Ask me how I know. :angeldev:

Shoei X-Eleven.
I have always worn full-face helmets, regardless of weather. Some of the more expensive helmets are lighter, more aerodynamic, and more comfortable with great air flow. Brand isn't nearly as important as good fit, so go try them all on, until you find one that fits you right. A decent dealer should be able to tell you how to properly fit a helmet, but if not, then the ARAI website has a good section on fitting a helmet. I'm sure there are other sources, but that is one I am familiar with. Notice I wear a Shoei, not an ARAI, because they don't fit my melon.
