I have two HJC helmets--one has the chin guard and is in effect a full helmet. I like that one on the highway and for long trips. I think that one is their top of the line and went for $220. The other is what I would guess is a 3/4 helmet--full face shield but no chin guard. I don`t get as claustrophobic in it. In the past, I always rode with a Bell Magnum--about 40 years. Crashed my Super 7 at Lime Rock in 1965. The safety harness failed and I got thrown out of the car--probably going about 80+. I managed to scrape the helmet so bad that it got down to the foam and the liner. It definitely saved me. I was going to get another more modern Bell, but our local motorcycle shop (not a dealer) talked me into the HJC with the chin guard and the second HJC which looks and feels like the trusty Magnum. Both helmets are white.
