Maybe my dislike for my fullface stems from poor fit, it is a pretty good
one I thought, (Shoei RF200, Snell M90) I always thought it was a pretty
good fit but maybe not, tight going on, then feels pretty good. Maybe it
should be tighter going on. Lots of wind noise.

Anyway, I much prefer my 3/4 and a good shield. I'll test out other full
face fits sometime.
