Where is the 3/4 helmet option with visor? That's what I use.

Well there are a million combinations. I use a full helmet with eye protection (safety glasses or safety sunglasses). That way I can pop the visor open (like if it fogs up or when it's warm) without getting beaned in the eyeball by a bug.

Half helmet and sunglasses unless I'm in a state that doesn't require a helmet. Then it's sunglasses and ball cap on backwards.

Same deal, Full face with either clear or sun glasses so I can flip the shield if I want.

I wear a variety but minimum is a 1/2 helmet with safety sunglasses all the way to my full face. I always have sunglasses in my saddle bags if I want to run visor up.
Then again, I have the LT with windshield and am short so I am not as concerned about eye impact protection as those taller and/or without shields.

I put Partial in there for 3/4 or 1/2.

My protection and insurance is a locking front fork shotgun tube with a Mossberg 930 inside of it and my dual shoulder strapped 1911A1's. Not kidding. This is Arizona so we can roll that way.
As for "riding gear" it depends on where I'm at and where I'm going.

I've got the tall shield too. It's rare, but I do get a splat of a bug that flies juuust right and hits my visor/sunglasses. It rarely ever happens, but it happens enough for me to warrant wearing SOMETHING over my eyes.
The biggest problem though, is dust and small particles and things getting in your eyes!

OK Comanche!!
PICS OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN!!! 
JK 
But, that shotgun tube is something I would like to see!
Think I could fit my SKS in there???!
I would like to find a way to take my long guns to the range; while on my bike.
