There’s nothing more classically stylish than an open face motorcycle helmet. Unlike more modern designs, these open face helmets, sometimes called ¾ helmets, do not have a guard across the front of your face. Instead, many have clear, composite face shields that keep wind, bugs, and dirt out of your eyes. These contrast from full face helmets, which completely encompass the head. If you like the feeling of wind on your face while riding your motorcycle, an open face motorcycle helmet is the style for you. While there are more traditional designs that look as if they’ve been plucked right out of the 1950s, there are more contemporary designs that look just as stylish, but also feature a wind visor. In some instances, these visors can be pushed back so you can still enjoy the sensation of air on your face.
