I know there will be several opinions but looking for the pros and cons to each.

My riding will mainly be plowing snow at home and trail riding. No racing, very little hillclimbing and hopefully no mudding or deep water passaging.
My biggest concerns would obviously be safety but also dust, tree branches, and sun. I have fairly sensitive eyes and wear sunglasses any time it is bright out so if I went with a MX style then I'd likely get 2 sets of goggles (1 clear, 1 shaded). If I went full face with a shield then I'd want to have an easy way of switching visors or to wear my sunglasses under the helmet.
I still have my open faced helmet from my drag racing days back in the 90's but I want something that will protect my face from branches, etc

Thoughts or opinions?

Modern MX full face helmets are pretty light and comfortable these days.
I hate helmets but havent regretted having one out in the woods yet.
After taking a surprise branch across the chest I bought a roost guard as well.
Not sure where your located but I found that ski/snow mobile goggle work excellent where I live due to their anti fogging nature during the winter and when it rains out.

Thanks. Good info. I'm in western PA so we do get snow...except this year,,,lol.

Were getting a proper N. Idaho winter this year.
Had another 12-14 inches in the last several days.

We have got like 2" all winter. Average is like 12". They said this is the lowest total snowfall ever since they started recording it

WTF? First I'm assuming you're joking but what does this have to do with the topic ?

I have a Sedici enduro type helmet, full face with a flip down smoked visor. Very comfortable and I can wear my glasses underneath.

Keep that crap on Facebook where it belongs.

 

[Ulfthednar]

Alright, Im sure youll be just as offended there as well.

 

[Foot0069]

Offended or not has nothing to do with it. I'm so far from woke I'm nodding out as I type. I couldn't care less if that offends you or anyone else. This is a legitimate post about helmets. On a great forum about ATV's. No one wants to see you standing on a roof in your underwear and tin hat spouting your brand of malarkey. Hope I offended you.

 

[Ulfthednar]

Nope. But your drooling a bit, son.

 

[Ulfthednar]

Ya kinda look like a pump supported field sprinkler with the feed line in a swill pond.

 

[Maddevill]

The above is exactly the reason we don't need this kind of crap in here. It always devolves into a dick comparison fight. Take it somewhere else.

Odd that. I've a full face for the scooter, but preferred the semi full Enduro style for the atv.
