For commuting and round town flip up, they've come a long way safety wise and I would be happy wearing one (do wear a convertible Givi and like it, bit noisy though).
For out of town solid helmet, there isn't a single convertible/flip up thats as strong as a one piece helmet.
Get some good gloves, winter is coming, makes ALL the difference to you continuing to use it for the other 9 months of the year. Expect to spend around £60-90 for something that fits, works on the bike (doesn't constrict your control) and keeps the rain and cold out. OR go for two gloves, a thin close fitting set for the hot days, and a big one or two sizes up set for the rest and wear them over the top. Did that when couriering my first winter, that plus big muff's was the only way (scooter prob wasn't powerful enough for heated grips lol).

It’s happening. CBT tomorrow, hopefully getting a twist and go Saturday or Sunday.
Helmet-wise, should I look at open face, flip face, full face? Does it matter? Is it a personal preference thing?
Going into a J&S later but don’t really have a starting point.
