When I started wearing glasses, I went modular. However, I still have to take off my glasses to put it on, so really no advantage. I do flip it up from time to time to talk to someone. I'm due for a new one, but undecided on how to go. No modular is as strong as a fullface.

When I say strong I am referring to how they hold up in safety tests. Until now I have always had SNELL certified helmets, but AFAIK no modular can pass those tests at the moment. Also new tech like MIPS can work to reduce the neck breaking rotational forces at impact. Sometimes you really do get what you pay for, sometimes not.
I think Arai made a video showing their testing and how it has improved the product over the years. Their helmets from even a few years ago wouldn't pass their current minimum standards.
