For the first time I have a lid with a shield, an HJC CL33 [$80 on sale!!!] Wow, what a difference it makes; the ride experience is soooo much better. Of course, the bugs slamming into my face won't be missed, but the noise reduction is impressive. I have been following the posts on ear plugs, and while I'll still use them, the local trips will be more fun.
I tried on the full face type but knew it was not for me. The CL33 is a suitable compromise.
All those years with the "wind in [my] face"? At 25 years a sensation of freedom and adventure; at 55 years, just a pain in the ass.
