I wear glasses and thought of getting a modular so I wouldn't have to go through the gymnastics of taking the glasses off and holding them while I put my helmet on. When I tried a few, I discovered that they hung up on the frames anyway, making the point moot.

I found them, in general, to be on the creaky and bulky side. So I rock a full-face.

However, if I were a full-time tourer who rides with others a lot, I'd certainly consider one. Being able to flip the lid up, talk and eat without taking the thing off could be useful. But I'm not that kind of rider. Most of the time I ride alone. I tend not to make long stops, and when I do the helmet is apt to be taken off anyway.
