Answer
Is an open-face helmet enough protection for motorcycle riding in Mallorca?
An open-face helmet offers less protection than a full-face helmet, especially in a serious impact. In Mallorca, where rural roads can involve fast traffic, blind spots and uneven surfaces, more complete head protection can make a major difference. Riders should choose gear that matches the road conditions, not just the weather.
