open face helmet

Half-coverage head protection

An open face helmet covers the top and back of the head but leaves the face exposed, unlike a full-face helmet with its chin bar and visor.

Common among motorcycle riders who prefer better visibility and airflow, and among skiers and snowboarders.

Also called a three-quarter helmet.

He wore an open face helmet so he could feel the wind.
