I have to agree with the majority here - Full face. I got hit back in 2010 and wore a bucket + goggles. The left side of my face got bruised up nice, goggles saved my left eye but I still have bruising + broken blood vessels. Since then, full face all the time.

Depending on weather where you live, you may want more or less vents. I recently upgraded to a SHOEI RF-1200 with the pinlock visor. Added the SENA Bluetooth unit myself and the helmet was designed for it. Set me back about $610 all-in. The best part, they have 3 or 4 bucket sizes, but all sorts of padding sizes. The pads all snap in/out real easy so if you want to clean or replace them it's very easy. Replace pads as needed to achieve proper comfort and fit.
