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

I used to wear an open helmet, but that was behind a full windshield. Now,
riding a sport bike, I have a full face, but really, I don't think the wind
noise is much better with the full helmet with the plexi face shield. I
still wear ear plugs, if I am going over a few miles.


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.

Really? I never had that problem, but that was with a windshield.

Recently,
I've seen a full face model with a hinged chin guard. That might be the
way to go.

Interesting. I wonder if it would stay in place when (if) you really need
it.
