Default Full Face Helmets??

Which full face helmets have the best viewing/biggest opening? I have always been an open face helmet guy but now looks like I will be needing a full face one. I do wear glasses also. Thanks.

HJC makes a full face helmet with good visibility.

If you wear glasses can you get the helmet on?

I wear glasses and have a HJC helmet . Must put on my glasses after I put on my helmet , so when you are checking out a new helmet , make sure you can get your glasses arms in and over your ears . Also be aware your class may not need a visor .

The only thing I noted when I used a HJC helmet was the part in front below the opening was projected a lot like a dirt bike/ATV helmet and I never really cared for that look. No problem with glasses with my G-Force helmet.

Jim- An added bonus to a closed face helmet is that it takes out a lot of peripheral vision out, eliminating a lot of distraction and improving concentration. I wouldn't go back to an open face just for that reason.

Simpson Bandit Full Face Carbon Fiber.
Lightweight and great opening for those that wear glasses. Yes, expensive because it is made of Carbon Fiber material and also made in the USA. In the event of an accident, you do not have a heavy helmet making your head act like a pendulum during impact.

Look at the RJS full face. I have the full face and the open face from RJS. I also wear glasses and have no problems ( good size opening) with either helmet. Jim
