Yes, All the Gear All the Time
First of all ofcourse a Helmet is goign to protect your brain. I think they told me that the state police study said that 80% of the fatalities in this state coudl have been prevented with a proper helmet, or one that was secure
Secondly, a proper helmet will help give you some hearing protection along with earplugs, Nobody wants to end up deaf or with Tinitis.
Thirdly, it shows good example to young people who watch you ride
Finally nothing protects your eyes as well as a full face shield.
If you area 1%er and have nothing to lose, then go for it, but if you want to live to a ripe old age and ride for the next few decades, considder a helmet
