I saw a lot more people in Thailand wearing full face compared with Malaysia. Don't know why Malaysian people so allergic to wearing to full face.
Meanwhile in Vietnam, their helmets can't even pass SIRIM standard because it's just a stupid sheet of plastic with no foam.
1) FF helmets should be more expensive than open face type. Judging by the quality and conditions of helmets of moto riders I see otr, people don't bother to invest in better helmets, let alone FF type.
Heck, I even see people still using the MS brand helmet (very common 30-40 years ago).
2) more difficult to put on, especially if you're wearing glasses
3) feels warmer, especially if you're not travelling very fast as the air vents don't work well at low speeds.
4) kena teased, especially when you're riding small bikes.
