How many helmets do you have?
Three for me: 1/2 that I wear around town, 3/4 for road trips and a full face flip up for cold weather, but I really hate it and never wear it. It makes me feel as confined as driving the cage.

Currently own a 3/4 and a 1/2. Wear the half 100% of the time.

How many helmets do you have?
I have three 1/2 helmets, one 3/4 helmet, and one full modular helmet. Only wore the 3/4 once (didn't like it) and only wear the full in the rain. The rest of the time is split between the 1/2s, so that makes 5 for me, and the wife has three (two 1/2s and one full modular which has never been worn) so for the family, that makes 8.

4 for me, 1 of each type, 3 for the wife, 2 for the grandkids. My wife and I pretty much stick to our HJC Sy-Max modulars now. Have a shelf in the garage to keep them on and grab one when I go for a ride.

How many helmets do you have?
Currently I have 3 Modulars that I wear for different rides:
1) Nolan N-103. Both Tammi and I have this one and it's our 2-up gear since they have the Bluetooth Intercom system on them. I wear it when we're together on the Nomad and it's very comfortable. 2) Scorpion EXO-900. I love how this fits and thought it would be my last helmet for a while, but the fit is too tight for the intercom mike boom to fit when closed. Hence, the Nolan. Tammi actually got the Nolan first and loved it. And the comm gear fits great. I usually wear the Scorpion when I'm riding solo. 3). HJC CL-Max. I like this one for cold weather since it fits looser and I can put a fleece Baccalava underneath it and not get a pinched headache. It's comfy for two to three hours before needing a break. Tammi has the Nolan and another inexpensive modular that got her started. I also went through a Scorpion FF, a Shoei FF and an inexpensive modular in the last year before settling on these three. Since niether of us has ever worn anything but FF-type, I can't say I feel limited or "caged" in by them. I do feel safe and the flip up is nice in Parking lots, etc when doing slow speed riding. |

How many helmets do you have?
4 for me: half helmet for warm weather when I don't want to listen to music, 3/4 for communication when riding with wifey, 2 full-faces for cold weather (Just replaced the old-full-face with a new one and, well, the old one's not bad enough to toss, too bad to sell, and ...
2 for wife: full-face modular that she always wears; 3/4 to collect dust.

One full face and one 1/2. Use the 1/2 helmet 99,5% of the
time. |

2 half helmets and a full face modular. I wear a half helmet almost all the time, except in cold weather. 1 of my half helmet is huge and I never wear it, Makes me look like a mushroom.
My wife has a half helmet and a modular and a half helmet with shield.

I have 2 (full face and half helmet). Wear the full face more often than not with the half on hot days and shorter rides. The full face has the bluetooth setup in it. Wife has one, a modular.

4 for me and 1 for my wife.
I have two full faced helmets, 1 - 3/4 helmet and 1 lid. The predominant helmet I wear is the 3/4. Believe it or not it is an HD brand helmet and is the most comfortable. I have J&M wiring installed in the 3/4 and both full faced.

2 Total. I Scorpion EXO-100 (Half) and a Scorpion EXO 400 (Full). I wear the half when it is 75 degrees or more.
I was thinking about getting a modular but I see many of you don't use yours very often so maybe I won't.
