Differences Between Full-Face and Modular Helmets

[Edwin]

There are several differences between full-face and modular helmets: Helmet noise: Full-face helmets provide additional protection for the rider's chin and face, as well as more protection from noise, sunlight, wind, rain, cold, insects, and stones. Modular helmets use a hinge to 'stitch' together the full-face design, allowing wind and noise to enter while riding, so modular helmets generally produce more noise than full-face helmets during rides. Helmet ventilation: Full-face helmets can become very hot in hot weather and restrict airflow to the face. Modular helmets can switch between an open-face and full-face configuration.
