We are helmet shopping, I am for the traditional mx with gog's, but I have a friend (I am trying to get him to join the site) that said he's looking at a full face street helmet. What do you all prefer and why?

I prefer the m/x helmet with goggles because it allows air to flow into the helmet, good in the summer, bad in the winter. I know Skoalwolf and DaBears use full face street helmets. I'm sure they will post their opinion.  |

i was lookin at some snowmobile helmets that look kewl in winter i like the full face in summer the mx is nice but if u play in the mud the goggles get messy hard to clean full face mask is alittle better if u wear glassies u need the the more extended googles but both work fine it is 50/50 for me oh in winter the full face gets foggy thats about it hope it helped

I like the M/X helmet for the same reasons as Dixie, but I find in the winter time if you wear a full face sock it is not bad.
Plus with the M/X helmet you can choose to wear googles or not..

The main reason I like the MX helmets are you can where goggles and when you are running it hard on the trails working up a sweat your lenses will not fog up like a full face helmet will do. As far as keeping warm they make a warm hood for under your helmet that has a large opening for your goggles to fit up tight and it is very warm. Come summer running around in the heat it will let more air in to keep you a little cooler then a full face. If price is a problem, MX helmets are for the most part less money and cheaper to replace your goggles then replacing a full face shield  |

Full face helmets, do they fog in the cold weather?

I feel that you have more choices with mx helmets and they can hide your ski mask comfortably!  |

i second cadman! plus there are so many styles and color schemes to choose from, plus they are lighter! the best combination is HJC helmet with a decent pair of Scott goggles. you shouldnt have to spend more than $150 to get quality, comfort, and style
