Full face question

[Stumpy 256]

I am trying to find a full face that fits properly, and i am unsure about how they should sit. For example, with the Z1, is the idea to gte your chin at least flush with the chin guard or is it supposed to line up on your nose? I have seen people wearing it wither way, and to me, to leave your chin hanging out protected solely by the gasket seems illogical. (live long and prosper )
Has anyone got any pictures of how they wear theirs? similar idea on an oxygn or oxygn A3 i guess?

thanks

I wear mine with my chin tucked into the shell. Otherwise, the shell would be rotatated more to the rear, and my downward visibility (of my handles) would be more limited.

Me too. Well, my chin sticks out a bit, but my idea of fit with the Z1 is to have the mouth inline with the mouth piece, with the nose well into the face shield portion.

Ive worn it both ways. the chin tucked into the hard plastic chin guard is safer, but not that comfortable for me.

ditto.... If I had 1 size larger I could put chin in plastic shell, which seems safer, but with the largest size I have to put chin in the fabric or else I cannot talk to anyone with it on.

I think a lot of it depends on how big your head is. I wear my Z1 so my mouth is lined up pretty well with the ventilation holes, and my nose clear of the padding. Helps prevent fogging of the visor and my glasses.
