I've always worn a helmet.

Same here. For a few years, I had an old helmet in the garage with a bare spot
in the front where the paint had been rubbed off. Guess how that happened?

In fact, I'm now considering moving to a full face helmet to cut down
on wind noise.

I'm blind without my glasses and, until recently, wore ones with wrap-around ear
pieces. I was never able to get a full face helmet on without removing my
glasses and was never able to get my glasses on once the helmet was on. On the
other hand, the wind around my glasses would concentrate on my eyes and blind
me. Standard helmet with face shield was the only way to go for me. Recently,
I've seen a full face model with a hinged chin guard. That might be the way to go.

Drink is the curse of the land. It makes you quarrel with your neighbor.
It makes you shoot at your landlord. And it makes you miss him.
