very little hits you or your face unless you're on a particularly dirty/debris-filled road.. where do y'all ride that you're constantly being hit with debris?
my helmet is great - it's really comfortable for a helmet, but so is the freedom to go without.. I'm not advocating helmetlessness, I'm just saying that not having something on your head is always going to be more comfortable than having something on your head.
