To ATGATT or not to ATGATT - and to what extent

Wearing protective gear has been a challenge for me. I have finally found a full armor jacket
Rokkertech that I will actually wear when its 85 degrees out and in winter I wear it under leather or oxford softshell. Found great summer gloves also.

Been wearing a full helmet since 09 after riding with a half helmet for 30 years. I wore it for a cross country trip and have worn a (modular) full helmet since. The only thing I don't like about it is it blocks some of your peripheral vision (Schuberth). Other than that a full helmet is the ****. Personally I like the shelter from the sun. Protection from rain, buggs, cold.... And of course the safety factor. If I made the switch from half to full, anyone can and am not the slightest interested in going back.

It took me a while to find a helmet that provides the same peripheral vision as an open face. I have been using the Nolan modular for the last 6 years and love it. In the full closed with visor form, its quite noisy, but I seldom have the visor fitted as I enjoy the breeze on my beard.

So when Dr. D say's he's going to do a drive by that's left up to interpretation? Good guy to have around if stuff goes sideways.
I was in San Francisco a few years back and witnessed a horrible Drive by slapping.

ATGATT---the never ending topic, down here in Florida I see it all but what I can never understand is that someone with a tanktop on can possibly thinks he is cooler(looks and body heat) than someone with a good summer mesh jacket on.
I teach my students the basics of ATGATT --if you value your body parts protect them if you do not that is fine also

I'll have to check out that Nolan. While wearing it, If you look left or right, can you see the side of the helmet?

No...Nolan N44
I also bought the Bluetooth Comms set. Very neat and almost invisible. No Robocop looking helmet.

Some Airbag Vests offer an integral neck-brace. Klim's Ai-1 Airbag Vest for one. But the Ai-1 goes for $400 plus another $400 (or $12 per month) to activate it (?) That is $1600 for you and your pillion. And it probably needs replacing, like crash helmets, at least every five years or whenever it got subjected to impact.

Klim Ai-1 Airbag Vest - RevZilla - watch the RevZilla video.

You can still get the wind in your face feeling if you buy motorcycle glasses and wear them with the visor up on the full face. Best of both worlds.
