I think the armored underwear went far enough!

Re: Helmet

If the hot head is a problem in the integral helmet, i advise you to get helmet like mine: Caberg Ego, It's getting hot in these parts (around 30 degrees celsius, and having my helmet open on the top, it's a real (h)air conditioner

Don't want to praise my good just cause i have it, but praise it, cause it's real 'cool' helmet to have on a geezer...

I had this problem (not bugs, but rain) with my old Airoh helmet. My new LS2 has a much bigger face shield, that goes below the level of my chin. Totally agree about the sun visor.

Re: Helmet

I figure that if bugs hit my chin, so could stones, etc.

The pointy end of a humming bird would really leave a mark.

Caught a big wasp in the throat once, boy did that hurt for a while.
